Planmeca ProMax is a brand long associated with premium quality dental imaging. If you are considering adding a certified pre-owned Planmeca ProMax X-ray or cone beam to your dental or dental specialty practice, you can’t go wrong. But, with all of the options out there, it may be difficult to decide on the unit that’s right for you.
## Common Features of All Planmeca ProMax X-Ray Machines
Let’s start with listing all of the common, most-loved features of the Planmeca ProMax systems. These attributes help differentiate the ProMax from other leading X-ray systems in its class.
- SCARA technology
- Wide range of panoramic options
- High quality images with adjustable focal trough, enhanced imaging geometry, ACV (automatic cervical vertebrae) and AEC (automatic exposure control) to auto-correct exposures
- Upgradeable to cephalometric imaging or can be purchased with a ceph attachment
- 2D units are upgradeable to cone beam
- Ease of use and simple patient positioning
- Wheelchair compatible
- Mac-friendly
- TWAIN integration for 2D images
## Planmeca ProMax 2D
If you’re looking for a newer pre-owned Planmeca ProMax panoramic X-ray, this current generation model offers high-quality images at an affordable price. It is still an economical choice since you can save considerable money over purchasing a brand new ProMax model. If your dental practice desires the latest in imaging technology without having to invest an extra several thousand dollars in new equipment, the Planmeca ProMax is a good choice for you.
## Planmeca ProMax 3D
This current model combination cone beam and panoramic unit gives you adjustable 3D capabilities for a wide variety of exams. Some of these include obtaining 5 x 5 cm cone beam images for focused exams such as third molar extractions, single tooth implants, and multiple endodontic procedures. You can also obtain 8 x 8 cm images to give you a full, dual picture of the jaw for surgical and other diagnostic purposes.
By purchasing a pre-owned unit from Renew Digital, you can reduce the impact to your equipment budget. The Planmeca ProMax 3D is ideal for dental practices that desire an affordable medium field of view cone beam option while still enjoying all the benefits of Planmeca 2D.
