KEY FEATURES
- Haptic Feedback: Guides the dentist during surgery for precise implant placement.
- Real-Time Adjustments: Adapts to patient movement and allows intraoperative changes.
- Multiple Workflows: Supports various surgical approaches with or without preoperative imaging.
PROS AND CONS
Pros:
- Increases accuracy in surgery
- Reduces surgery time
- Improves patient experience.
Cons:
- The high initial cost because it is a new technology
- A learning curve for dentists as it requires training to operate effectively.
HOW IT WORKS
Yomi assists dentists by providing a physical guide through haptic feedback, ensuring implants are placed exactly as planned. This is achieved by preoperative CT scans.
WHO IS IT FOR?
It’s ideal for dental professionals seeking to leverage robotic technology for implant surgeries. It is also for patients looking for minimally invasive procedures with quicker recovery.
IMPACT ON HEALTHCARE
Yomi disrupts traditional dental practices by offering a less invasive and more accurate alternative to freehand surgeries which could potentially set a new standard in dental care.
Yomi might be the first step towards a more precise and potentially less invasive future for dental implants. While challenges remain, Yomi’s potential to improve outcomes and patient experiences is a positive sign for the future of dentistry. So, next time you visit the dentist, don’t be surprised to see a little robot sidekick by their side. Just remember, they’re there to help, not take over (probably).
