Neocis' Dental Robots Are Here To Revolutionize Caring For Your Teeth

Neocis is the first-ever dental robotics company committed to enhancing dental surgeons’ capabilities as well as advancing patient care. Neocis’ robots are predominantly used for implant surgeries: these come into play when someone has lost a tooth or several teeth, and is looking to get them replaced with a crown or bridge.

Their technology has two main components:

• An operational software which is responsible for the movement of the robot during the surgery.
• A user interface, which is used by the surgeon to plan the surgery and drive the robot.

When a patient comes in, they are given a pre-operative CT scan, from which a 3D reconstruction of their teeth and mouth is also created. After this, the surgeon will plan and map out the surgery virtually in its entirety, so that everything is clear from start to finish.

Future Plans? 

The company is looking into diversifying the surgical capabilities of their robots so that these could be used more extensively. The robots are particularly useful when a surgery requires challenging technical precision, such as a full-jaw denture surgery. Being able to utilize the robots further would allow for a variety of conditions to be treated with more ease.

Another aspect Neocis wants to focus on is the overall patient experience. It is often easy to look at medical devices simply from the physicians or engineer’s perspective, however, the company also wants to increase their level of patient care by providing their patients with insights, visuals, and other helpful information throughout the process. To them, implants are not just implants, but teeth, and can make a huge difference to a person’s wellbeing. Supporting more and more areas of the patient experience is hence at the very core of Neocis’ values and development – and Qt will be there to help take the project to the next level.
