New materials provide important enhancements to robot-assisted dental implant surgery workflow

Miami, FL, [January 7, 2019] — Neocis, Inc., the leader and innovator in dental implant surgery using advanced robotics, today announced a 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for additional dental materials to use with Yomi. This clearance will expand workflow options to dental surgeons to achieve robot-assisted guidance.

Yomi, the first and only FDA cleared robot-assisted dental surgery system, 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.

Alon Mozes, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Neocis stated, “Workflow options enabled by this new clearance offers more flexibility in the implementation of robot-assisted dental surgery and helps us to expand our reach to the more than four million dental implants performed in the U.S. each year. Workflow enhancements enabled by this new clearance are a direct result of our corporate commitment to the voice of the customer.”

“It has been great to work with Neocis as a Pioneer. This latest FDA clearance helps to provide me with even more workflow options for incorporating Yomi into my practice,” says Dr. Uday Reebye, oral surgeon in North Carolina and Yomi pioneer user.

Neocis previously received FDA clearance in February 2018 for a Chairside Splint to be used with Yomi, which enabled a same-day workflow that facilitated completion of dental implant surgery with robot-assisted guidance in a single visit.

Miami, FL, [November 14, 2018] — Neocis, Inc., the leader and innovator in dental implant surgery utilizing advanced robotics, announced today that it reached its first U.S. commercialization milestone with the sale of its 20th Yomi® surgical system.

“Following FDA clearance, we launched the ‘Pioneer Program’ in the U.S. to attract early adopters. I’m extremely pleased with the commercial adoption this program received, enabling us to execute our 20-system sales goal prior to our expected timeline,” said Alon Mozes, PhD, Chief Executive Officer.

Yomi systems purchased under this program were placed with a wide range of customers, including oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dental practices.

“Incorporating Yomi has forever changed the way I place implants. It’s a new level of precision and the next evolution in implant dentistry. Minimally invasive, robot-assisted surgery will soon be the new standard of care in implantology,” said Eddie Kotary, DMD.

There are more than four million dental implants performed each year in the U.S. Yet conventional surgery and drill guides fail to address many procedural challenges, such as invasive incisions and nerve damage from misplaced implants. In addition, dental implant surgeries are shifting from specialists to general dentists. Neocis’ Yomi surgical system provides the critical planning and guidance features that provide dental surgeons with the ability to gain real-time visual feedback and physical haptic guidance, which enables a minimally invasive flapless approach.
