ROE Dental Labs took a Step into the Advanced World of Dental Healthcare

ROE Dental Laboratory recently announced the launch of ‘Passivity Plus’. It is a 510(k)-cleared, self-adjusting titanium coping for full-arch implant restorations. The four-component device, compatible with most major multi-unit abutment systems, is designed to provide advanced passivity for the most subtle fit discrepancies that can accumulate across digital and analog restorative workflows, thereby reducing the risk of screw loosening, prosthesis fracture, and peri-implant bone loss.

According to Precedence Research, the global dental implants and abutment systems market size was valued at USD 7.29 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 7.81 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 12.82 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 5.81% from 2026 to 2035, driven by the increasing prevalence of dental disorders, a growing geriatric population, the rising incidence of tooth loss, and the expanding adoption of digital dentistry technologies.

Issues Faced by the Dental Care Industry

The dental care segment has faced a major technical challenge for years in achieving a fit for full-arch implant prosthetics. The sector has also faced minor issues introduced through scanning, milling, sintering, and model fabrication, which accumulate to produce a prosthesis when seated.

The new launch featuring the NikolasBase addresses the dental issue through a pivotable, self-adjusting cap. It also micro-adjusts during seating, which is helpful to accommodate any discrepancies. Once the prosthesis is positioned, a conical screw with a 5-degree-per-side body taper is torqued to 25 N•cm, creating a friction-locked, cold-welded connection. A patented flexible washer around the screw head preserves the compensated position without transferring stress to surrounding structures.

"Passivity Plus truly elevates existing clinical passivity to a new level," said BJ Kowalski, CEO of ROE Dental Laboratory. "Even restorations from the most accurate clinical records can benefit from Passivity Plus. It really helps relieve the stress of a full-arch."

Dental professionals do not need to change their existing workflow to benefit from Passivity Plus. The system is FDA 510(k)-cleared as a Class II device and manufactured from Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V-ELI), the same biocompatible alloy used in medical implants. It is compatible with every major record-capture method  intraoral scanning, photogrammetry, Grammetry, and conventional stone models  as well as all supported framework materials, including zirconia, titanium, PMMA, and hybrid prosthetics. The laboratory handles all component integration, and at the chair, clinicians follow the same seating sequence they already use. No new equipment, no new technique.
