CHICAGO, Ill., USA: Among the products making their debut at the 2015 Midwinter Meeting exhibit hall were new, smaller scanner tips for the Planmeca PlanScan scanner, which is part of the Planmeca CAD/CAM system that includes Planmeca PlanCAD and the Planmeca PlanMill 40, all exclusively distributed individually or as an entire system by Henry Schein.
The new intraoral scanner tips and entire CAD/CAM scanning-designing-and-milling system generated steady traffic to the Planmeca booth. “It’s the worldwide launch, right here in Chicago,” said Planmeca District Manager Brendan Massenheimer, in an interview with Dental Tribune on Friday in the exhibit hall. “The new, smaller tips [available in three sizes] enable easier scanning for a variety of procedures, including use with patients with limited oral mobility.”
Massenheimer said that it’s easy for clinicians to go back and forth between the tips, as needs change mid-procedure. “It’s a quick, easy interchange,” he said. “There’s no re-setting, which allows the process flow to be smooth throughout the procedure.”
All of the tips are autoclavable and feature a smooth finish to easily glide between cheeks and gums. And each is ergonomically designed to ensure comfortable scanning positions for clinicians. The “blue laser technology” accurately captures hard and soft tissues, restorations, models and impressions. The new tip sizes are labeled as standard, landscape and portrait.
“Standard” is for general scanning procedures and a larger field of view. “Small portrait” is for smaller mouths, compromised dentition, enhanced reach to the posterior or for capturing interproximal areas. “Small landscape” is for procedures needing anterior scanning (such as buccal to lingual and saddle scanning) and easy capture of buccal bite.
A “Smart Tips” feature provides built-in diagnostics.
The entire system works with the Planmeca Romexis software platform. The open STL file format enables practitioners to seamlessly integrate and collaborate with other systems as well as export case files to any third party for review or completion.
