The Neoss Group is delighted to announce that Professor Neil Meredith will once again be an integral part of the Neoss family. Professor Meredith, together with Fredrik Engman, founded Neoss in 2000 and served as CEO for a decade, leading the company from a start-up to an established dental implant company with outstanding growth and success.
“It is with great pleasure that I welcome Professor Neil Meredith back to Neoss,” said Dr. Robert Gottlander, CEO and chairman of Neoss Group. “Neil was not only one of the founders of Neoss, he invented RFA, the diagnostic technique that has since become Osstell. I am really looking forward to working with Neil.”

Professor Meredith has been placing and restoring dental implants for over thirty years. After completing an MSc in fixed prosthodontics at Eastman, London in 1987, he was awarded a PhD at Imperial College in 1992. In the same year he invented the use of resonance frequency analysis (RFA) to measure the stability of dental implants, a technique that it has now become the international benchmark known as Osstell.
He undertook research with PI Brånemark and Tomas Albrektsson in Gothenburg, Sweden, and obtained a second PhD from the University of Gothenburg for RFA in 1996. He then returned to the UK, where he served as Professor of Restorative Dentistry and Biomaterials at the University of Leeds. Driven by his entrepreneurial spirit, he then founded Neoss together with Fredrik Engman.
“I’m very happy and excited to be back at Neoss and continue to be a part of what I’ve helped to create,” said Professor Neil Meredith, a prosthodontist in Brisbane, Australia. “I’m looking forward to the trip with fresh faces and familiar ones from the first days. I thank Robert for giving me this opportunity and I look forward to being a part of Neoss’ continued success.”
Professor Meredith moved to Australia to return to academia as Professor of Dental Implantology and Prosthodontics at the University of Queensland. He practices clinically as a surgeon and prosthetist. In 2015 Neil became Head of Dentistry at James Cook University, Cairns, Australia. In 2020 Neil left his university connections to work in specialist practice. He continues to teach as dean of the Graduate Institute of Dental Surgery.
