Planmeca USA, Roselle, Ill, has introduced the newest version of its ProMax® 3D Mid imaging unit. According to the company, the new ProMax is a true 2D and 3D volumetric imaging unit that includes 3D, panoramic, extraoral bitewing, and cephalometric imaging.
The ProMax can take an image of a single tooth or a complete maxofacial reconstruction, as well as the ear, sinus cavity, and a portion of the respiratory tract used for sleep apnea diagnosis. The volume sizes range from 2.4 cm x 4.2 cm to 16 cm x 16 cm to capture the entire face.
Features include adjustable KV and MA, a pediatric mode that automatically reduces volume according to a child’s anatomy, and the ability to work natively in a Mac OS system. In addition, it comes with a complete software system for both 2D and 3D diagnosis, and can be integrated with third-party software.
The SmartPan imaging system uses the same 3D sensor for panoramic imaging, eliminating the need to change sensors while the ProMax calculates up to nine different panoramic curves in 2 mm shifts from the exposure date. The ProMax 3D Mid uses the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle to minimize radiation exposure.
