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.
Patients are not flat, and neither is their dental anatomy. Combining the computation of dynamic rotation patterns and electro-mechanical construction, Planmeca ProMax X-ray systems with SCARA technology move along with your patient’s anatomical structures during rotation to capture previously hidden anomalies to obtain optimal images for each unique patient each and every time. The resultant images can better help enhance diagnoses, increase patient understanding and improve case acceptance.
Planmeca ProMax X-ray systems offer numerous imaging programs and options thanks to the built-in SCARA technology. This feature allows the SCARA-enabled equipment to offer a greater variety of imaging options than X-ray equipment that comes equipped with fixed rotations. Because of the free-flowing movements of the Planmeca ProMax, each machine can produce a wider range of higher quality two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) images. Such images include X-rays for diagnosing temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) as well as extraoral bitewings.
Planmeca offers two distinct versions of SCARA technology in their X-ray equipment. SCARA2 systems, such as Planmeca ProMax S2 units, come equipped with two joints and are most appropriate for dentists who need to obtain basic panoramic images. SCARA3, implemented in Planmeca ProMax S3 series units, incorporates three joints to provide dentists with a broader range of motion when obtaining images. An additional benefit of SCARA3 systems is that they can easily produce any pattern required by current or future dental X-ray exposure programs.
Perhaps you’re tired of working with X-ray equipment that limits your flexibility but feel you can’t afford to make an upgrade right now. While that might be true when purchasing new X-ray equipment, buying a certified pre-owned unit can save you tens of thousands of dollars while allowing you to obtain better images at the same time.
Most dentists who sell their equipment to Renew Digital are retiring, closing a practice or upgrading to newer models. All equipment must be in perfect working order at time of pick up, or we don’t buy it. Plus, we inspect all pieces of equipment before declaring it as certified pre-owned. Your purchase price includes installation, training, and ongoing support for your complete peace of mind.
We invite you to check out the many options for Planmeca X-ray equipment with SCARA technology. You can compare features and prices side by side or contact one of our friendly and helpful sales associates to help you in the decision-making process. We think that both you and your patients will feel grateful that you decided to make the investment when you see how easy it is to use this equipment.
