Planmeca has introduced PlanScan, calling it "the first dental unit integrated intraoral scanning solution designed to bring measurable benefits for patients, dentists, and laboratories."
PlanScan delivers complete clinical information about the patient anatomy by combining the surface data from Planmeca PlanScan intraoral scanner with Planmeca Promax 3D cone-beam volumetric tomography (CBVT) x-ray data and the 3D facial photo acquired from Planmeca Promax 3D ProFace. Combining these three 3D data sources enables more accurate treatment planning and procedures, according to the company.
Planmeca PlanScan intraoral scanner allows the dentists to capture the complete intraoral situation directly and save it as a highly accurate 3D digital model. Dentists can omit the taking of impressions and bypass related disadvantages such as inaccuracies, material costs, impression retakes, and manual handling.
