The ProMax 3D Mid for Orthodontists and Oral Surgeons
The ProMax 3D Mid offers a flexible experience tailormade to suit orthodontists and oral surgeons.
Planmeca USA recently introduced its latest imaging unit, the ProMax 3D Mid, a true 2D and 3D volumetric imaging unit that includes 3D imaging, panoramic, cephalometric, and tomography extraoral bitewing modes to meet the ever-changing clinical needs of modern orthodontists and oral surgeons.
The ProMax 3D Mid has the flexibility to take an image of a single tooth or a complete maxillofacial reconstruction, as well as the ear, sinus cavity, and a portion of the respiratory tract used for sleep apnea diagnosis. The volume sizes range from 2.4 cm x 4.2 cm to 16 cm x 16 cm, which captures the entire face.
The unit’s SmartPan imaging system uses the same 3D sensor for panoramic imaging, eliminating the need to change sensors, while the ProMax 3D Mid calculates up to 9 different panoramic curves in 2 millimeter shifts from the exposure date. For maximum flexibility, its open architecture allows for future 3D upgradeability. The ProMax 3D Mid uses ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principles to minimize radiation exposure. —Bob Alaburda
