A company that develops dental robotics has announced that over 1,000 implants were placed in 2019 using its Yomi robotics system.
Yomi, developed by Neocis, is the first and currently only FDA-approved robot-assisted dental surgery system.
It provides computerised navigation to assist in both the planning (pre-operative) and 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 full control and, unlike plastic surgical guides, allows for clear visualisation of the surgical site.
Alon Mozes, chief executive officer of Neocis, said: “This is an exciting milestone for 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 utilisation further underscore the appetite for robotics in the dental industry.”
