Could a robot make dentistry speedier and more comfortable? That’s what the new Yomi robot aims to do for implants, according to the device’s website.

“We created Yomi to tackle one of the dental procedures people fear the most, implants,” write the robot’s inventors on their site.

From dental partnership groups to technology companies, here are five leaders involved in the oral surgery field to know:

Alon Mozes. Co-founder and CEO of Neocis: Mr. Mozes helped develop technology for Mako Surgical Corp. before the company was acquired by Stryker in 2013. He then founded Neocis, manufacturer of the Yomi dental implant robotic system, the first and only FDA-cleared robot-assisted dental surgery system in the U.S.

Dr. Ryaz Ansari, a West Hartford oral surgeon, knows how important it is to have teeth that are aligned and pain-free.

That’s why Ansari, whose practice is called Jaw Fixers, has the assistance of a robot, Yomi, to guide him as he drills into the jawbone to place the implant.

Dr. Bruce Fink at New Foundation Dental Implant Centers is the first in Georgia using the first Food and Drug Administration-cleared robotic surgical system in the U.S., called the “Yomi.”

“I think the robot has allowed me to become more precise — (the implant) goes right where I need it to,” Fink said. “I’ve been doing dental implant surgery for 20 years and in that time, I’ve only used two surgical guides — I don’t think they work that well. But I like the preciseness of this — it allows me to achieve the highest level of perfection I can get because it won’t allow you to deviate from where the implant needs to go, which is super critical.”
