Dentists Love Planmeca’s Ultra Low Dose Feature

Written by Nathan Hudson | June 11, 2020

Many patients fear having dental cone beam X-rays taken because they do not want to expose themselves to more radiation than is absolutely necessary. However, this can make it difficult to get the information you, as a dentist or dental specialist, need in order to develop a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Thanks to Planmeca, you have a greater opportunity for patient education in the areas of dental cone beam X-rays and radiation exposure due to their Ultra Low Dose protocol, which reduces dose up to 77% without a loss in image quality. This allows you to easily capture high-quality CBCT images while minimizing patient radiation exposure as much as possible.

Why Dentists Love It

All Planmeca CBCT units come with the Ultra Low Dose protocol included, which gives you high-quality CBCT images with less patient exposure than standard 2D panoramic imaging. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Benefits of Planmeca Ultra Low Dose

There are a variety of benefits to choosing a Planmeca X-ray machine including the Ultra Low Dose protocol. Here are the top five.

All Voxel Sizes and Imaging Modes – With Planmeca Ultra Low Dose, you aren’t restricted to selecting a small field of view (FOV) setting. Instead, you can choose any size voxel or imaging mode you need to get the best images, all at a reduced dose. This includes low dose, normal, HD, high resolution, and endodontic images from 75 to 400 μm.

Easy to Use – The user-friendly control panel makes it easy to select and view the appropriate image with immediate visual confirmation. This makes your practice more efficient, improving patient satisfaction.

High Quality and Low Dose – You no longer have to choose between high-quality images or low patient exposure. Get the same high-quality images you’re used to with a 77% reduction in patient radiation exposure.

Ideal for Everyone – Planmeca cone beam units are ideal for a wide range of specialties and treatments including orthodontics, implant planning, maxillofacial surgery, and much more.

All the Detail You Need – Sometimes, less is more. View the mandibular nerve channel for implant planning and wisdom tooth extractions in sufficient detail. From little detail to much detail, capture it all at an incredibly low dose.

Why Shop Used

Many customers wonder what the benefits of buying used X-rays are. Buying a certified pre-owned digital dental X-ray machine or dental cone beam system is a great choice for your practice. It allows you to adopt high-quality imaging capabilities at 30-50% less than buying brand new equipment. This makes it the ideal choice for new practitioners, those on a budget, or those looking to upgrade their practice before selling it.

Planmeca is known for the advanced technological features of their equipment, and that doesn’t change when you buy used dental equipment from Renew Digital. Plus, you know these units are reliable and will be with you for years to come. Add this fact to our five-star warranty and unmatched customer service, and you’ll never shop elsewhere for dental X-ray machines.
