Thanks to increased public discussion about radiation safety, patients today have greater concerns about their dentist using an extraoral dental X-ray machine than they did in the past. This is despite reassurance that a dental X-ray machine exposes them to far less radiation than other types of medical equipment such as a medical CT scan. As a dentist, it’s up to you to train your staff to reduce patient exposure to radiation and to educate patients about their actual risk.

Patient preparation is an important part of the success of capturing a 2D X-ray using a refurbished Planmeca ProMax machine from Renew Digital. You or a member of your dental staff should provide the patient with sufficient instruction and ensure that he or she understands the requests before moving forward with obtaining the image.

When it comes to taking X-ray images of your dental patients, you need equipment that performs at the same level of excellence that you do. SCARA technology, which stands for Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm, provides you with exactly that. Planmeca, a world leader in developing and marketing premier dental imaging systems, developed SCARA for use with their Planmeca ProMax X-ray units to achieve complex, flexible, and precise movements during X-ray rotation. The result: clear, accurate, and consistently high-quality maxillofacial images.

Although some patients may have concerns about radiation exposure during a dental appointment, the amount of radiation dentists use is so insignificant that many patients consider it an afterthought. When explaining dental X-ray machine radiation to patients, dental practitioners sometimes compare dental radiation dose to the amount of natural radiation a patient may receive from a few minutes lounging at the beach or traveling on an airplane. This helps patients better understand the risks of dental imaging vs. the rewards of maintaining proper dental health.
