Over the past decade that we’ve been in business, Renew Digital has worked extensively with a variety of leading digital dental equipment manufacturers that offer panoramic X-ray machines, cone beam CT systems, and intraoral scanners. We’ve also worked very closely with thousands of dental and dental specialty practices across the United States and have a good understanding of their clinical and workflow needs.
Throughout the years, one of the most requested certified pre-owned digital dental systems in the Renew Digital catalog has been the Planmeca ProMax. Let’s take a closer look at why dental professionals love this digital dental X-ray machine.
SCARA Technology
One of the most important and unique features of the Planmeca ProMax S3 system is the patented SCARA, or Selectively Compliant Articulated Robotic Arm, technology. The robotic arm and precise computational controls of SCARA technology provide flexible, yet complex and precise movements in order to capture accurate, clear rotational maxillofacial imaging of detailed dental and craniofacial structures.
SCARA technology allows for a nearly unlimited range of movement, relying on electromechanical construction and real-time computation of dynamic rotation patterns. This technology accommodates a wider range of imaging programs and provides superior imaging of the unique anatomy of each individual patient.
Upgradeability
Another feature many dental professionals love about Planmeca ProMax systems is their upgradeability. A system like the Planmeca ProMax S3 panoramic X-ray machine is intended to scale with each dental practice as it changes and grows. Practitioners can upgrade their 2D Planmeca ProMax panoramic X-ray system to include the cephalometric and/or cone beam modality at any time through the manufacturer, as required by the clinical needs of their practice.
Although it does not provide cephalometric or dental CBCT upgrades for Planmeca ProMax systems, Renew Digital does have the ability to trade-in some existing Planmeca ProMax 2D panoramic systems towards the purchase of a certified pre-owned Planmeca ProMax 3D cone beam and/or cephalometric system. Most customers trade-in their Planmeca ProMax panoramic X-ray for either a Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic or Planmeca ProMax Cephalometric system.
Extraoral Bitewings
In recent years, extraoral bitewing programs have become a viable alternative to traditional intraoral exams for some patients that find sensors and films to be uncomfortable.
Extraoral bitewing imaging takes less time and effort than traditional intraoral exams, especially for patients with strong gag reflexes or with those who have other special clinical requirements They also capture a larger diagnostic area and provide more clinical data, all without the need to position a sensor or perform time-consuming sanitation procedures for sensors or films between patient use.
Many certified pre-owned Planmeca ProMax systems available from Renew Digital come standard with the extraoral bitewing feature. SCARA technology, combined with Planmeca’s superior extraoral bitewing program, ensures high-quality, accurate extraoral bitewings each and every time.
3D-Enabled Imaging Units
For practices interested in a a Planmeca cone beam unit, Renew Digital offers the full-featured, yet affordable Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic panoramic and cone beam system.
The Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic offers both standard and advanced dedicated 2D panoramic imaging exams as well as optional extraoral bitewing programs in addition to small and medium field of view (FOV) cone beam scans . It also offers additional functionality and features such as high-resolution and low-dose settings for even more power and flexibility. The Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic system’s 8x8cm FOV is ideal for implant placement planning, surgical guides and other dual-jaw exams, while its smaller 5x5cm FOV is more suitable for single implant placement, endodontic applications, and other more focused exams.
This Planmeca ProMax 3D system includes the Planmeca Romexis 3D imaging software that features specialized tools for scanning, diagnosis, and treatment planning, to assist dental professionals in maximizing the use of their 3D images. Romexis also supports optional modules, such as implant planning, to help more accurately and efficiently plan dental implant procedures from start to finish.
TWAIN Integration
For dental professionals that rely on the 2D functionality of their Planmeca ProMax systems, TWAIN integration is an added bonus. Via TWAIN integration, 2D panoramic scans can be captured and integrated with most leading dental imaging software.
The TWAIN interface can be used for integration with most leading dental imaging software including but not limited to Carestream, Schick, VIXWIN, Dexis, XDR, Eaglesoft, Dolphin, Apteryx, and others. This interface makes managing and accessing 2D panoramic images (including extraoral bitewings) and/or 2D cephalometric images much easier, for faster, more efficient diagnoses and streamlined patient care.
Mac-Friendliness
Investing in new imaging technology can be a significant advantage to a dental practice by allowing it to expand its offered services. However, it can also create efficiency issues and other headaches when this newer technology does not align or is incompatible with the current practice environment.
For dental practices that are Apple-centric, there’s no need to fear an upgrade to a Planmeca ProMax system; it’s actually one of the most Mac-friendly dental X-ray systems in the market.nd Thanks to the Romexis software, Planmeca 2D and 3D imaging modalities are compatible with both Windows and Mac software and applications for the ultimate in network flexibility.
