What is
IPS Preprosthetic®?

Specialized Implant Solutions

IPS Preprosthetic® is the only FDA-cleared, remotely fixated, patient-specific subperiosteal implant system available on the market.  Designed for complex cases involving edentulism, pathology, or trauma, IPS Preprosthetic® is a solution tailored for cases where conventional implant systems fall short.

 

Utilizing CT-based design processes and additively manufactured in titanium alloy, IPS Preprosthetic® provides a functionally stable preprosthetic platform for each unique patient.

Flexible Prosthetic Solutions

Recognizing the need for greater clinical flexibility, KLS Martin developed a version of IPS Preprosthetic® allowing interchangeable abutments. This design enables:

Versatile Clinical Adaptability

Improved adaptability across a variety of clinical scenarios.

An All-encompassing Solution

With the new IPS Preprosthetic® bundled approach, KLS Martin now provides every component required to restore patients from planning to the final restoration. 

As part of the IPS® digital workflow, cases are planned, reviewed, and finalized within our cloud-based case management system, IPS® Gate, supporting continuity from virtual planning to clinical execution.

Why It's Needed

When traditional implants aren’t an option—and zygomatic implants aren’t the preferred pathway—IPS Preprosthetic® provides a patient-specific alternative. Designed for partial- and full-arch rehabilitation in patients who lack sufficient alveolar bone, IPS Preprosthetic® offers a rigidly fixated and a stable prosthetic foundation.

Conventional implantology is effective only when adequate bone and soft tissue are present. In cases of advanced resorption, postablative defects, or reconstructive anatomy, treatment options may be limited, or may require more complex staged approaches.

IPS Preprosthetic® addresses this gap by providing a rigidly fixated, patientspecific subperiosteal framework that can be immediately loaded.

In contrast to traditional subperiosteal implants, IPS Preprosthetic® is rigidly fixated—a key differentiator emphasized in clinical discussion—rather than relying on nonfixated passive seating that contributed to instability in older designs.

Broad anatomical applications including midface, mandible, and doublearch configurations.

Customization allows for treatment of complex cases in a single procedure that previously required multiple stages of treatment including prior grafting.

Confidence inspiring screw / implant interfaces prevent screws from backing out over time while allowing increased screw angulation for flexibility.

Provides the flexibility to choose between multiple pillar heights and implant profile options.

Quality & Performance

Additive Manufacturing

Our implants and surgical guides are additively manufactured to ensure high precision and a seamless anatomical fit for every patient.

Premium Titanium Alloy

We utilize medical grade titanium alloy, known for its exceptional biocompatibility, strength, and long term durability in complex reconstructions.

Rigorous Validation

Every component undergoes extensive testing and validation protocols to meet the highest safety standards for surgical performance and reliability.

Advanced Mechanical Testing

KLS Martin utilizes sophisticated In-Silico Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to simulate and ensure the structural integrity of each custom framework.
