Neocis Yomi S
Background
Neocis was founded in Miami, Florida, and developed the original Yomi dental robot — the first and, as of 2026, only FDA-cleared robotic system for dental implant procedures. The Yomi S is the second-generation platform, featuring updated hardware and software for improved procedural accuracy and expanded case coverage.
How It Works
Yomi uses haptic guidance to direct the surgeon's drill to the pre-planned implant position. The robot does not operate autonomously — it constrains and guides the surgeon's hand to the planned trajectory, reducing deviation from the surgical plan while keeping the surgeon in full procedural control.
Clinical Status
- First-generation Yomi: FDA cleared, clinical use from 2019
- Yomi S: FDA cleared, first clinical cases January 2026
- Procedure: Dental implant placement (single and multiple implants)
Market Context
Dental implant surgery is a high-volume procedure globally, with over 5 million implants placed annually in the US alone. Yomi S positions Neocis to capture the growing market for precision-guided dental surgery as implant volumes increase and clinician demand for accuracy tools rises.
FAQ
Is Yomi S fully autonomous?
No. Yomi S uses haptic guidance to constrain the surgeon's hand to the pre-planned implant trajectory. The surgeon performs the procedure; Yomi provides real-time positional guidance and constraint. The surgeon remains in full procedural control.
Is Yomi S FDA cleared?
Yes. Yomi S is FDA cleared for dental implant surgery. The original Yomi system received FDA clearance in 2019; Yomi S received clearance ahead of first clinical cases in January 2026.
What procedures can Yomi S perform?
Yomi S is cleared for dental implant placement — both single and multiple implant procedures. It guides the surgical drill to the pre-planned position to improve accuracy and reduce deviation from the treatment plan.
