The Ultimate Buyer’s Guide to the Planmeca ProMax

Over the past decade that we’ve been in business, we’ve worked extensively with the majority of the leading dental imaging manufacturers. We’ve also worked very closely with thousands of dental and dental specialty practices across the country and have developed a thorough understanding of their clinical and workflow needs.

Throughout the years, one of the most consistently requested certified pre-owned digital dental systems in the Renew Digital catalog has been the Planmeca ProMax. Planmeca has earned the reputation of being a global leader in healthcare technology and is the largest privately-held manufacturer of professional dental equipment in the world. Dentists recognize the quality of Planmeca’s ProMax line of 2D and 3D imaging systems, as well as the software solutions that accompany them.

Let’s take a closer look at why dental professionals love this dental X-ray machine.

Planmeca ProMax Features

• Great Image Quality: The Planmeca ProMax features Autofocus Technology that can recognize a patient’s anatomy and automatically position the focal layer. This makes patient positioning easier,minimizes the need for retakes, and results in a high-quality radiograph.

• Effortless and Comfortable: The Planmeca ProMax is not only easy to use but also very comfortable for patients. Its open-face design makes patient positioning more intuitive & helps alleviate any anxiety the patient may have regarding the exam.

• SCARA Technology: Planmeca’s SCARA, or Selectively Compliant Articulated Robotic Arm, technology is an exclusive feature of the ProMax that offers flexible, precise motions, making it effortless to capture the perfect image.

• Program Options: The ProMax offers a wide variety of imaging programs to suit any clinical need, including panoramic, TMJ, sinus, horizontal and vertical segmenting, and optional extraoral bitewings.

• Extraoral Bitewings: Patients with a strong gag reflex or sensitivity to traditional films or sensors will appreciate the optional extraoral bitewing program offered by the ProMax, enabling the capture of bitewings without the need for intraoral radiography.

• Cephalometrics: For orthodontists, the ProMax offers an optional ceph attachment that enables accurate patient positioning, as well as carbon fiber ear posts and nasal positioners, automatic alignment, and dedicated collimation options.

• Upgradeability: As your practice grows and your needs change, your X-ray equipment can change as well. The ProMax can easily upgrade from 2D to 3D imaging functionality when the time is right.

Clinical Applications

Planmeca specifically designed the ProMax X-ray machines to fit a broad range of services among all dental specialties. At nearly any price point, there’s a ProMax that will work for you. Since many ProMax machines are upgradeable as well, the system will meet your needs today and can be upgraded in the future.

A system like the Planmeca ProMax S3 panoramic X-ray machine is intended to scale with the growth and changes of each dental practice. Practitioners can upgrade their 2D Planmeca ProMax panoramic X-ray system to include the cephalometric and/or cone beam modality through the manufacturer at any time, as required by the clinical needs of their practice.

General Dentistry: No matter what your dental specialty, Renew Digital offers a wide range of used Planmeca panoramic X-ray machines to support a variety of examinations. Planmeca’s entry-level panoramic X-ray machines are specially designed for general dentists delivering high-quality 2D panoramic imaging at an affordable price.

Airway and Sleep Studies: The treatment of sleep disorders is a unique dental specialty. Dentists and medical providers often work together to ensure that a patient receives the proper diagnosis of a sleep disorder, as well as an appropriate treatment plan to address it. The Planmeca ProMax 3D makes it possible to locate the precise spot to target treatment through a process called airway visualization.

Endodontics: The Planmeca ProMax 3D also features an endodontic visualization feature that makes it possible to see the tiniest anatomical details of the teeth. This makes it possible for you to determine whether or not a patient has infected pulp that would require a root canal or some other type of infection that would benefit from immediate treatment.

Implant Dentistry: Placing a dental implant requires precision and great treatment planning. Planmeca Romexis software includes a library of more than 40 implants available from different manufacturers to help you plan for each implant case..

Orthodontics: The combination of cone-beam computed tomography, dedicated panoramic imaging, and optional cephalometric imaging with the Planmeca ProMax 3D is perfect for orthodontic practices. The Planmeca Ultra Low Dose CBCT option allows you to minimize patient radiation during cone-beam exams while providing details needed to visualize bone around roots, visualize impacted and/or non-erupted teeth, and determine other areas of orthodontic concern.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ): Even the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends that dentists obtain CBCT images of patients struggling with TMJ. In a 2013 report, the NIH indicated a preference for this method due to low radiation doses and highly accurate spatial resolution properties. The 3D capabilities of the ProMax help isolate the healthy and damaged areas for a full assessment of the joint.
