Neoss Group welcomes back Professor Neil Meredith

---

Neoss Group is pleased to announce that Professor Neil Meredith will again be an integral part of the Neoss family. Professor Meredith and Fredrik Engman founded Neoss in 2000. They served as the CEO for a decade, leading the company from a start-up to an established dental implant company with exceptional growth and success.

“It is with great pleasure to welcome Professor Neil Meredith back to Neoss,” said Dr. Robert Gottlander, CEO and president of Neoss Group. “Neil was not only one of the founders of Neoss; he invented the RFA, the diagnostic technique that has since become Osstell. I look forward to working with Neil.”

Professor Meredith has been placing and restoring dental implants for over thirty years. After completing an MSc in fixed prosthodontics at the Eastman in London in 1987, he was awarded a PhD at Imperial College in 1992. In that same year, he invented resonance frequency analysis (RFA) to measure dental implant stability, a technique now becoming the international benchmark known as Osstell.

He undertook research with P-I Brånemark and Tomas Albrektsson in Gothenburg, Sweden, and was awarded a second PhD from the University of Gothenburg for the RFA in 1996. He returned to the UK and served as a professor of restorative dentistry and biomaterials at Leeds University. Driven by his entrepreneurial spirit, he subsequently co-founded Neoss with Fredrik Engman.

“I´m very happy and excited to rejoin Neoss and to resume my involvement in what I helped to create,” said Professor Neil Meredith, a specialist prosthodontist in Brisbane, Australia. “I’m looking forward to the journey with fresh faces and the familiar ones from the early days. Thanks to Robert for providing me with this opportunity, and looking forward to being a part of the continued success of Neoss”

Professor Meredith moved to Australia to return to academia as a dental implantology and prosthodontics professor at the University of Queensland. He practices clinically as a surgeon and specialist prosthodontist. In 2015 Neil became head of dentistry at James Cook University, Cairns, Australia. In 2020 Neil left his university ties to work in specialist practice. He continues to teach as the dean of the Post Graduate Institute of Dental Surgery.
