Designed for partial- and full-arch rehabilitation in patients who lack sufficient alveolar bone, IPS® Preprosthetic offers rigidly fixated and stable prosthetic foundation independant of alveolar bone availability

Severe Bone Atrophy

Patients with severe maxillary or mandibular atrophy

Failed Zygomatic Cases

Zygomatic implant candidates, or those with failed zygomatic implants

Reconstructive Surgery Needs

Postablative, posttraumatic, or reconstruction cases requiring customized archlevel solutions

Graftless Surgical Alternatives

Surgeons seeking a solution that reduces reliance on grafting while maintaining a stable foundation

Treatment Workflow

Your 4-Step Treatment Journey

Digital Diagnosis & Virtual Planning

The journey begins with high-resolution 3D imaging (CT or CBCT scans). These scans are uploaded to the IPS Gate® platform. Your surgeon works directly with KLS Martin engineers to virtually design an implant that fits your bone anatomy.

Surgical Implantation & Temporary Fitting

Once the custom titanium framework is manufactured using 3D laser melting, the surgery takes place. Because it was designed specifically for you, the implant fits precisely onto the bone surface.

Soft Tissue Healing & Digital Scanning

After surgery, there is a healing period (usually a few weeks) to allow the swelling to subside and the gums to settle around the titanium posts. Once the tissue is stable, the dentist uses an intraoral scanner (a digital camera for the mouth) to take a “digital impression” of the posts.

Final Prosthetic Fitting

The final stage involves the creation and attachment of your permanent teeth. A dental laboratory uses the digital scans to design a custom “bar” or “bridge” that snaps or screws onto the implant posts.
