Neocis®, the developer of the first and only US FDA-cleared robotic system for dental implant surgery, has announced the FDA clearance and release of its next-generation robotic platform, Yomi S. The system incorporates updated hardware and an AI-driven planning environment, YomiPlan, designed to support accuracy, facilitate efficient workflows, and promote predictable clinical outcomes in implant dentistry.
Developed with an emphasis on clinical efficiency and minimally invasive techniques, Yomi S allows a single practitioner to control the system via foot pedal and touchscreen interfaces. This design aims to streamline operatory staffing needs and broaden the feasibility of robotic-assisted implant placement in general practice settings. Updates to the platform include a reduced physical footprint, improved instrument maneuverability, enhanced visual access, and expanded software-based automation for preoperative planning.
With partial and complete edentulism prevalent in the United States, conventional implant placement workflows can be resource-intensive, posing barriers to expanded access. Yomi S is intended to reduce planning time, assist in maintaining precision during osteotomy preparation, and support a flapless approach when clinically appropriate.
Key system attributes include:
Single-Operator Workflow: Automation features that allow the primary clinician to manage both planning and surgical execution without additional clinical operators.
YomiPlan AI: Machine learning models that automatically segment key anatomic structures from CBCT imaging, expediting treatment planning.
Broadened Clinical Applications: Software and hardware adaptation for potential uses beyond implant placement.
Cybersecurity and Compliance: YomiPlan software meets current FDA expectations for secure and compliant medical systems operating in connected environments.
"Yomi S simplifies procedures thanks to excellent robotic range of motion, extended reach, touchscreen, and voice commands, while maintaining superior accuracy," says Dr. Jay Neugarten, DDS, MD, FACS. "I approach each patient with the same care I would give my mother. With the capabilities of Yomi S, I am committed to providing exceptional quality treatment that every patient deserves."
The platform supports flapless protocols, aiming to reduce surgical trauma, shorten appointment durations, and support patient comfort during postoperative recovery. Real-time AI-assisted navigation highlights critical anatomy throughout the planning and surgical phases, functioning similarly to driver-assistance technology by providing continuous spatial awareness.
“Yomi was totally painless and it’s more precise than a human being would be. I’ve had an implant before on the other side with a different doctor and without this technology - and this one was so much easier,” said Yomi patient Anders Brag. “The results were terrific and I really didn’t feel anything afterwards – and in my prior experience I had pain.”
“Yomi S isn't just groundbreaking for dental robotics; it sets a new standard for robotic surgery in general. With ease of use as the primary focus, Yomi S enables every dental practice to integrate robotics into their workflow” said Alon Mozes, founder and CEO of Neocis. “We’ve combined robotic precision with an intuitive, surgeon-friendly design to make implant surgery faster and more accessible than ever before. Yomi has nearly completed 100,000 osteotomies, and we’re excited to accelerate growth with Yomi S to deliver the best care to patients everywhere.”
