ProMax 3D Mid

The ProMax 3D Mid is a versatile and dynamic 2-D/3-D imaging system that brings new possibilities for diagnostics, treatment planning and patient counseling, asserts Planmeca. Volumes ranging from the smallest specialized cases to larger fields of view accommodate a wide range of specialties, from general dentistry, endodontics, periodontics and orthodontics to dental and maxillofacial surgery. The smallest volume, 4 x 5 cm, is ideal for studies, such as molar areas and single implant sites, while the largest 20 x 17 cm volume captures the full facial region.

As with all Planmeca units, the ProMax 3D Mid complies with the best practices in dentistry by following the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) radiation principle to minimize the patient’s exposure.

When compared with standard imaging protocols, the ProMax 3D Ultra-Low Dose protocol achieves an average of 77 percent reduction in radiation without compromising image quality.[ According to “Dosimetry of Orthodontic Diagnostic FOVs Using Low Dose CBCT Protocol” by JB Ludlow and J Koivisto.

The unit is also designed with multi-bladed collimation, which provides unique horizontal and vertical segmentation that focuses radiation only to areas of anatomical interest; this minimizes any unnecessary exposure to the patient. Additionally, the ProMax 3D Mid offers various imaging modes, including pediatric mode, that allow the minimum dose to be administered based on clinical need.

For everyday diagnostic needs, the ProMax 3D Mid also offers full 2-D functionality, including panoramic, optional cephalometric and ProMax’s exclusive Anatomically Accurate Extraoral Bitewing Program. This program, possible only with patented SCARA (Selectively Compliant Articulated Robotic Arm) technology, is especially beneficial for periodontal patients, children, elderly patients, claustrophobic patients, patients with special needs, patients that gag or patients in pain.

Images show details from premolar to third molar areas, including parts of the maxilla, mandible and rami, with more clinical data (lateral to third molar) and a consistent opening of interproximal contacts that outdoes most intraoral methods. All of this comes without the challenges of sensor placement, the changing of sensor sizes, disinfection and equipment maintenance, greatly improving workflow and ideally suited to enhance overall patient experience.

The ProMax 3D Mid is delivered with open-architecture Planmeca Romexis software, which offers a complete, user-friendly solution for image acquiring, viewing and rendering in multiple dimensions. Planmeca Romexis software improves the diagnostic value of radiographs and supports different workflows, from routine 2-D imaging to advanced specialist treatment planning using 3-D imaging modules.

With simplicity as a leading design principle, Planmeca Romexis offers easy-to-use tools that allow the software to be used with minimal training. It also offers best-in-class integration, providing users with the freedom to use third-party products for a customizable workflow. TWAIN protocol and DICOM compliance, as well as full support for Windows and Mac OS operating systems, guarantees that Planmeca Romexis can be used effortlessly in nearly any treatment environment, according to the company.

Built on a fully upgradable platform, the ProMax 3D Mid allows clinicians to make a one-time capital equipment investment that is equipped to handle any future innovations in dentistry.

Available premium options for the ProMax 3D Mid include ProFace, the industry’s first CBCT unit-integrated facial scanner that uses a unique combination of 3-D images.

One scan generates a true 3-D photo of the patient’s facial anatomy as well as a CBCT volume, or if required, the 3-D facial photo can be acquired separately in a radiation-free process. This optional feature provides clinicians with the ability to visualize soft tissue in relation to dentin and facial bones, superimpose images to see treatment progress, and deviate images for an instant viewing of changes.
