Miami-based Neocis develops robot-assisted dental surgery
Robot-Assisted Dentistry
Miami-based Neocis is using $72 million in new funding to market and develop additional applications for its robotic dental surgery assistant, Yomi. Neocis bills Yomi as the first and only FDA-approved robotic device for dental implant surgery.
The device’s technology enables a surgeon to digitally map out an implant procedure based on 3-D imaging of the patient. The robot arm then guides the surgeon through the procedure by physically resisting any motion outside the bounds of the plan.
“Essentially, the doctor is only allowed to drill according to the plan they made, and if they change their mind in surgery, they can go into the software” and update the plan, says Neocis CEO and co-founder Alon Mozes, previously a principal engineer at Mako Surgical, where he helped develop a robotic system for orthopedic surgeons.

This past Saturday they held a vote for a new president of the powerful Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). The choice was between three candidates: current president, police Sgt. Tommy Reyes, considered a calming voice during the George Floyd protests; Lt. Ramon Carr, vice president of the cityâs Black police union; and Javier Ortiz, a controversial past president currently on indefinite paid suspension after a lengthy string of insulting racist comments and social media posts.

A Dec. 3 Miami Herald report quoted University of Miami law professor and âethics expertâ Tony Alfieri as saying itâs âprogressâ that such a diverse group is vying for the top union job, regardless of the winner. I hardly think so.
