Miami, FL, [March 30, 2020]— Neocis, Inc., the leader and pioneer in robot-assisted dental implant surgery, announced today that they had filed for 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a new Yomi® edentulous splint. This new splint will enable the Yomi Dental Robotic system to go beyond placing implants on partially edentulous patients to assisting doctors with full arch implant cases. The American College of Prosthodontists estimates that over 36 million Americans are missing all of their teeth. The new Yomi edentulous splint will enable doctors to use Yomi’s technology to help restore the dentition and smiles of people who are missing their teeth.

“Our doctors have been asking for a splint that would enable Yomi to assist with restoring full arches. After the conclusion of a successful clinical study of our new edentulous splint, I am delighted today to report that we have filed for 510(k) clearance,” said Alon Mozes, PhD, Chief Executive Officer and President of Neocis.

Dr. Uday Reebye, MD, DMD, a leader in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, who was the lead investigator in the Yomi  Edentulous splint’s clinical study said, “Since there is no plastic surgical guide needed, there was no wait for surgical guide fabrication, and no physical guide impeding access or visualization. Robotic haptic guidance securely constrained the handpiece to the virtual restorative plan. Given the accuracy, precision, and intraoperative flexibility of robotic surgical platforms, this preliminary data supports the promise of Yomi robotic guidance to augment dental implant therapy for fully edentulous arches.”

Dr. Scotty Bolding, DDS, MS, a nationally recognized leader in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, who was an investigator in the Yomi Edentulous splint’s clinical study said, “I was so impressed by the accuracy of the first cases using Yomi robotic guidance in fully edentulous patients.  The splints were extremely stable, easy to use and remarkably accurate. Additionally, there was excellent visibility in the surgical field that you cannot get with any available guide today. There is no doubt in my mind that Yomi will set the standard for the multi-implant cases in the future.  I have been placing dental implants for over 30 years and I have never experienced the precision or accuracy that was demonstrated with the new full arch splint.”

This Milestone Signals the Arrival of Surgical Robotics Technology in the Dental Space.

 

Miami, FL, [January 7, 2020] — Since 2000 more than 4 million robotic-assisted surgeries have taken place across multiple medical specialties including Cardiovascular, Neurology, and Orthopedics. Until the launch of Yomi, the first and only FDA cleared robot-assisted dental surgery system, dentistry has not been able to benefit from this revolutionary technology. Successfully placing dental implants requires careful pre-operative planning and a high degree of accuracy and precision.  Surgical robotic technology helps doctors to achieve these objectives. Neocis, the leader and pioneer in dental robotics, announced today that over 1000 implants were placed in 2019 using the Yomi robotics system, signaling the arrival of surgical robotics technology in the dental space.

Yomi provides computerized navigation to assist in both the planning (pre-operative) and the surgical (intra-operative) phases of dental implantation surgery. The system offers physical guidance through haptic robotic technology, which constrains the drill in position, orientation, and depth. The assistive technology provides the surgeon with complete control and, unlike plastic surgical guides, allows for clear visualization of the surgical site.

“This is an exciting milestone for Neocis,” said Alon Mozes, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Neocis. “This has been the direct result of streamlining our workflow and increasing the system functionality. We’re excited to see our increased sales and utilization further underscore the appetite for robotics in the dental industry.”

Dr. Joe Griffin, a dentist with Cornerstone Dental Arts and new Yomi user, says, “We’ve been able to use Yomi for many cases thanks to a quick learning curve. The system has been easy to incorporate into our practice. We see this clearly establishing a new standard of care for implant patients.” 

About Yomi
Yomi® is indicated for use to provide assistance in both the planning (pre-operative) and the surgical (intra-operative) phases of dental implantation surgery. The system provides software to preoperatively plan dental implantation procedures and provides navigational guidance of the surgical instruments. Yomi® provides surgical guidance through the use of haptic robotic technology, software, and multisensory feedback to help achieve the right position, angulation, and depth to place the implant exactly according to plan. Yomi® enables a minimally invasive flapless approach, which has been proven to lead to faster surgery, faster recovery, and less pain for the patient. Learn more at neocismerge.wpengine.com.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS – Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) announced today that they have become the first U.S. dental school to acquire, install, and use two surgical robotic devices for dental implant surgeries. 

These devices will provide an opportunity for the School’s predoctoral students and postdoctoral residents to learn how state-of-the-art robotic technology, with its accuracy and precision during dental surgery, can augment and enhance clinical practice and patient care.

The robot-assisted surgical device, known as Yomi, was developed by Miami-based healthcare start-up Neocis. It is the first (and to date, only) such device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for dental implant surgery. 

“This technology is truly revolutionary and will change – and improve – the way we approach dental implant surgeries at the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine,” said Dr. Alexander Bendayan, GSDM’s assistant dean of digital development & clinical training. “Introducing this advanced technology to our patient treatment centers will ensure that our predoctoral students and postdoctoral residents are prepared to be leaders in the field and will help to establish new standards of care for the profession.”  

Using the Yomi system, the provider performing the surgical procedure first creates a virtual plan for the placement of a dental implant using detailed 3D scans of the patient’s mouth. The system then uses physical cues to guide the provider along the precise implementation of that plan – but is also able to adjust dynamically to accommodate mid-procedure changes. Yomi augments a provider’s  ‘feel,’ giving real-time feedback via haptic technology to guide a provider along the treatment plan. But the provider controls the handpiece at all times: By design, the Yomi system complements, rather than overrides, a provider’s clinical expertise.

“We believe that Yomi may become a new standard of care for dental implants, and are thrilled to be working alongside the faculty, students, and residents at GSDM to implement this technology,” said Dr. Alon Mozes. “By embedding the technology at the dental-school level, we are building comfort and skill with this technology from the ground up.”

The School, with the assistance of trained technicians from Neocis, completed installing and calibrating the robotic devices in late September. GSDM faculty members participated in a rigorous two-day training on the Yomi system on September 25-26, 2019; additional two-day trainings will be held throughout October and November. Once trained, faculty members will use the Yomi system on their own patients and will also instruct GSDM predoctoral students and postdoctoral residents on the technology. Neocis will provide ongoing service and support.

With the acquisition of Yomi, GSDM continues its commitment to pioneering new dental technologies in its predoctoral and postdoctoral educational programs. In 2015, GSDM became the first dental school in the U.S. to implement CAD/CAM guided dental implant surgery, first using CEREC and SICAT guides and then, in 2018, introducing Nobel Biocare guides. All predoctoral students at GSDM currently have the opportunity to place a dental implant using guided surgery – a rarity for U.S. predoctoral dental programs – and soon will be able to also gain experience using the first robot-assisted dental surgical system in the U.S.

“At the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, innovation is more than a buzz word: It’s a mindset,” said Dr. Jeffrey W. Hutter, dean and Spencer N. Frankl professor in dental medicine. “Our School has always been a leader in embracing cutting-edge dental technologies, and I am proud to continue that tradition of innovation with Yomi.”
