DUBAI, UAE: UK-based global dental implant company Neoss is officially launching its business in the Middle Eastern region at AEEDC Dubai 2016. In addition, the company is introducing its Neoss PenguinRFA instrument for measuring implant stability. The product offers treatment guidance and predictability and is an easy-to-use and affordable solution for all clinicians working with implants.

Since the inauguration of its Dubai branch in September 2015, the company has signed agreements with three distributors in the region and recruited additional staff to support local sales.

Neoss further announced that it will put in place a training and education programme to promote discussions with further potential distributors in the region.

The Neoss PenguinRFA system was developed by a dedicated team of dental implant experts and engineers. Their experience, expertise and close collaboration with specialists across the world were instrumental in creating the product, the company stated.

The system consists of a hand-held instrument and a reusable MulTipeg. It measures the resonance frequency of the MulTipeg, which corresponds to the stability of the implant. The instrument comes with a charger, as well as a driver for attaching the MulTipeg to the implant.

“In implant dentistry, patient expectations and an evolving range of indications place high demands on the clinical team, so if conditions are not optimal, poor primary stability may increase the risk of implant failure. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and the implant stability quotient were introduced into the dental implant industry in 2001 and are now established methods of measuring implant stability and osseointegration,” said Neoss Chief Technology Officer Fredrik Engman.

Guy Leaver, Neoss Chief Financial Officer, added: “Neoss in partnership with Integration Diagnostics, has today launched the Neoss PenguinRFA and in keeping with Neoss’ philosophy of ‘Intelligent Simplicity’, the Penguin is easy and quick to use, offering a consistently reliable measurement of implant stability at a completely different value proposition. This finally enables clinical use of the RFA technique in daily practice.”

Visitors to AEEDC are invited to learn more about the company’s product portfolio at Booth 13C in Hall 6.
