Ask a Dental Imaging Expert: Understanding All Planmeca ProMax CBCT Models

Planmeca CBCT machines are revered the world over as one of the leading names in the dental manufacturing industry. Their technology delivers exceptional image quality and produces images that capture even the finest details, and combines this with special attention to patient comfort and operator ease of use.

Like a few of the other popular imaging brands, Planmeca is able to offer doctors a wide range of advanced imaging systems to meet the diverse set of clinical applications used today. Spanning decades of experience in dental imaging technology, Planmeca is a proven leader in delivering innovative, high-quality dental X-ray machines at affordable prices.

Here at Renew Digital, we have always been very selective about which products we choose to offer, preferring to work with brands that really deliver great performance to go with our obsessive level of customer service. When you are investing in a new cone beam digital imaging system, we often recommend Planmeca to be on your shortlist of technologies to review.

Planmeca offers quite a few cone beam imaging machines, so it can be a little confusing to navigate all the features each system includes and which may fit your practice best. Luckily, our team at Renew Digital has done some of the hard work for you, helping you decide which CBCT system from their popular Planmeca ProMax family fits your clinical needs.

Planmeca ProMax Family

• S - The S is an entry-level option for dentists/specialists just getting started with CBCT, or practices that don’t require a large field of view - such as single implants. The ProMax S shares all of the great features needed to bring high-quality images with patient comfort as the others from Planmeca, it just does so with the smallest “volume” - which means you’ll acquire a more focused area of the patient's anatomy.
• Classic - The Classic brings great features to the most common procedures by providing a full arch 3D scan (full view of the upper or lower teeth). Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic’s Braces imaging protocol is ideal for orthodontics, as images captured using it show metal brackets with true precision.
• Mid - The Mid is the most versatile machine of Planmeca’s CBCT offering - it expands the field of view of the Classic to give dentists/specialists a volume for every clinical application (basically, you can offer a wide variety of procedures and this will be your all-in-one x-ray machine).
• Plus - The Plus produces images that go beyond the dentition, so you can see an extended view of the maxillofacial region. Dentists providing a high volume of specialty procedures, such as oral surgery, ENT, orthodontic studies, and full mouth implants benefit from selecting the Plus over the Classic or Mid.
• LEC - The LEC is Planmeca’s value choice, specifically designed for growing practices. The LEC has upgradeable features so you can start with a basic CBCT machine and upgrade as your practice grows to include all-in-one imaging features such as a ceph attachment. The Planmeca ProMax 3D LEC offers an exclusive extended volume diameter size. It is ideal for capturing the full dentition with one scan and increases the maximum diameter.
