How it Works

The Problem: Why weaken your provisional with oversized holes?

Conventional conversions require large holes in the prosthesis so Temporary Cylinders can pass through. These holes can compromise strength, esthetics, and passivity.

The Solution: Separable Fastener Technology

Smart Denture Conversions takes a smarter approach. Using our patented Separable Fastener technology, it allows you to pick up a TiBase inside the prosthesis—allowing for a closed tray pickup.

The result is smaller holes, stronger provisionals, and a cleaner, more efficient conversion.

The Separable Fastener is loaded into a TiBase, with the PEEK Cap extending through the top. Together, the Separable Fastener and TiBase are placed onto the multi-unit abutment and picked up into the prosthesis as one unit.

As the TiBases are picked up, the Separable Fastener does exactly what its name suggests—it separates. The PEEK Cap and TiBase are captured inside the prosthesis, while the Threaded Post stays behind in the multi-unit abutment.

With the TiBases picked up, the embedded TiBases now serve as precise guides for creating your screw channels. Simply follow the path of the TiBases to drill clean, accurate access holes—right where you need them.

Contour and polish the denture as needed to ensure a comfortable fit, then place it back into the patient’s mouth. That’s it—conversion complete.

SDC 2.0 vs. SDC 1.0

SDC 2.0

SDC 2.0 features integrated Separable Fastener Technology built directly into the TiBase, eliminating the need for a PEEK Cap. The TiBase is pre-secured within a polycarbonate shell, removing the need for pre-coating, and includes a breakaway post for easy handling.

All About SDC 2.0

SDC 1.0

The technology that started it all.  SDC 1.0 introduced Separable Fastener Technology—a system where a PEEK Cap and Threaded Post are inserted into a TiBase. During pickup, the Peek Cap separates from the Threaded Post, streamlining the process and making the creation of a provisional more like that of an overdenture.
