MIAMI, March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New York-based oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Jay Neugarten, recently authored a large prospective single-arm clinical study evaluating the accuracy and precision of robot-guided implant surgery.
Posted in The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants“Accuracy and precision of haptic robotic-guided implant surgery in a large consecutive seriesHe found that haptic robotic guidance allows greater precision and statistically greater accuracy than any other method of implant surgery, including static guides, dynamic computer navigation, and free-hand placement.
The study was based on 273 robot-guided endosteal implants placed by Neugarten over two years. On average, these implants deviated from their planned angle and depth by less than 1.5 degrees and less than 0.2 mm, respectively. Published literature and meta-analyses for other guided methods show angulation errors as high as 3 to 6 degrees. The Yomi The system also proved to be far more accurate than any other treatment method in use today.
“I wanted to do this research because precision is so critical in implant dentistry,” Neugarten said. “In addition to poor aesthetic results, inaccurate implant placement can also lead to intraoperative complications, patient discomfort, and reduced implant longevity. That’s why any technology that can offer this level of accuracy should be taken seriously by clinicians.”
The robot-assisted implantation was made possible by Yomi, an FDA-cleared robotic dental surgery system designed and built by a Miami-based startup Neocis®. Through a combination of in-depth virtual planning and haptic guidance of surgical instruments, the Yomi platform helps dental professionals perform implant placement with a high degree of precision and efficiency. To date, more than 47,000 robotic-assisted implants have been placed. About every six minutes a dental implant is placed robotically, according to current data from Neocis.
“Thanks to the rigorous analysis of Dr. Neugarten, we can now confidently say that robotic implant surgery provides unparalleled precision and accuracy,” said Alon Mozes, co-founder and CEO of Neocis. “These data reinforce what we’ve been hearing for years from the clinicians we work with. It’s very pleasing and we believe this reinforces Yomi as the new standard of care.”
About Yomi
The Yomi robotic system is an electronic robotic navigation system intended to provide assistance in both the planning and intraoperative phases of dental implant surgery. The system can also be used to plan and perform guided alveoplasty of the mandible and/or maxilla. Yomi is intended for use in partially and fully edentulous adult patients eligible for dental implants. Visit neocis.com to learn more about Yomi or schedule a hands-on demo.
