Planmeca OPG DENTAL IMAGING
PLANMECA OPG units are recognized worldwide for their premium quality and clinical imaging performance, and they enjoy a major share of the market including Australia where more than 400 Planmeca OPG units are in routine clinical use.
The Planmeca Group is based in Helsinki (Finland), is privately owned, profitable and stable. It exports more than 98% of its production to international markets, and is ranked amongst the top 10 manufacturers worldwide. This is a company recognized for its stability, quality and integrity.
There are a number of key reasons why Planmeca OPG units enjoy such a high reputation in the market, and why so many Hospitals, Radiology Practices and Dentists have installed Planmeca.
The Planmeca Advantage
| :: PATIENT POSITIONING | ||
|
Planmeca faces the patient looking out into the room (not the wall and a mirror). The Operator looks directly at the patient, and during both positioning and exposure they can maintain ‘eye to eye’ contact. |

|
Advantage – Operator efficiency and patient confidence… |
||
| :: MODULAR DESIGN | |||
| All Planmeca OPG units are designed from the ground up as modular units which permit later option upgrades. This permits you to start with a lower cost unit and enjoy the quality and This permits you to start with a lower cost unit and enjoy the quality and performance of Planmeca, and later to add those special imaging capabilities you wanted for special applications. |

Planmeca Models …
It is designed for OPG, Sinus, TMJ and Ceph, and incorporates as standard comprehensive jaw shape & size selection to allow perfect imaging of patients of all shapes and sizes and of course including reduced dose and geometry selections for children. The XC can also be upgraded to include the TMJ True Profile module for more precise TMJ imaging. Proline XC is available for film, CR or direct digital acquisition, and of course can be field upgraded to DR in the field (see DIMAX 3 below)
ProMax is the ‘next generation’ of X Ray systems for OPG, and with its configurable architecture (modular) it can be upgraded to a range of advanced maxillofacial studies. The new open positioning concept makes patient positioning fast and convenient, and the imaging geometry is based on the latest concepts guaranteeing undistorted images of this anatomical region. ProMax is offered in a basic configuration for standard Pan imaging (adult & child), double TMJ lateral, double TMJ PA, and sinus PA views. A wide range of optional programs are listed as upgrades for segmentation, improved orthogonality, improved interproximal angulation, variable angles on TMJ views and non rotational views – both PA and mid sagittal. ProMax uses SCARA (Selectively Compliant Articulated Robot Arm) digital control technology which enables highly flexible imaging geometry and the ability to add new imaging programs with complex movements. All movements are generated in software which drives the robotic arms. The ProMax is available in two basic formats. ProMax with SCARA 2 is the basic model for routine OPG & Ceph imaging. ProMax with SCARA 3 is the version designed for the full range of specialist maxillofacial imaging modalities. Please note that SCARA 2 cannot be field upgraded to SCARA 3. Select one version or the other based on your long term requirements. Some of the features and specifications of ProMax are as follows … The X-Ray Generator is an advanced constant potential output unit, computer controlled and with fully automated self calibration and diagnostics. Outputs from 54 to 84 kV. and 0.5 to 16 mA. CLINICAL IMAGES (DIMAX 3 digital acquisition) 
The PROLINE series OPG units have been in production since 1986 and upgraded extensively over that period. This is a classic design which has proven highly reliable and clinically efficient.
