Planmeca USA's ProMax 3D Max imaging system has received FDA 510(k) clearance and is now available to the U.S. dental market.
"The ProMax 3D Max offers a number of powerful features that add up to attractive benefits for dentists and patients alike," said Planmeca President Bob Pienkowski in a press release.
The ProMax features cone-beam CT technology that allows for full anatomical 1-to-1 visualization of anatomy without distortion, he noted. This approach offers a significant improvement over film and 2D technology as a diagnostic tool for implants, orthodontics, and oral surgery, he said.
The 3D Max follows the company emphasis on using the least amount of radiation to achieve the best results possible. Planmeca's patented selectively compliant articulated robotic arm technology is built into the ProMax platform, allowing for precise imaging anywhere in the maxillofacial/cranial region.
The system features varying size volume selections, from 5 x 5.5 cm to 23 x 26 cm.
