Planmeca: ProMax 3D Plus

It’s a simple choice: capture your images in 3D and see the complete picture of your patient’s oral health or settle for the limitations of 2D imaging, such as distortion, overlapping images, and a singular point of view. Who wouldn’t want to diagnose with a 3D image? The answer is those who are concerned about patient radiation. But what if the radiation dose was the same or lower? Which would you choose? The answer is the 3D image. And with the Planmeca ProMax 3D Plus and Planmeca’s Ultra Low Dose technology, that’s exactly what you get—a superior imaging modality and improved patient safety.

 

The Planmeca ProMax 3D Plus is a complete 3D imaging unit that provides a 360° view of the same familiar anatomy contained within a panoramic image. This helps make the transition to 3D imaging more comfortable for most clinicians.

 

Additionally, doctors will enjoy the accompanying Planmeca Romexis software, a powerful platform designed with efficiency, fewer clicks, and a customizable user interface. Floating windows and overlaying images offer improved diagnostics and simplified processes, while a patient interface offers access to data like 2D, 3D, CAD/CAM, videos, and PDFs in a single image browser.

 

Planmeca ProMax 3D Plus serves as a career cone beam system due to its upgradeability. For example, dentists can purchase the system today and easily upgrade the system tomorrow if they expand their services to offer orthodontics.

With versatility in volume sizes from 4x5 cm to 20x10 cm, this system can be used for endodontic cases, implant treatment planning, or imaging the airway, sinuses, and TMJ. The unit’s voxel sizes range from 600 to 75 μm, allowing clinicians to view the smallest anatomical details. For treatment planning, dentists can use the Planmeca ProMax 3D imaging unit to scan impressions and plaster casts in 3D, and then use the scan to create an STL file of the surface model.

 

Planmeca ProMax 3D Plus uses Selectively Compliant Articulated Robot Arm (SCARA) technology to allow the unit to produce precise movements without restrictions. This technology makes it possible to capture true extraoral bitewings that have been proven to be as effective at detecting caries when compared to an intraoral bitewing series.
