Planmeca is the market leader for dental imaging devices - panoramic, oral and 3D imaging units. Planmeca ProMax 3D digital imaging device aims to obtain detailed information about the anatomy of a patient. The unit meets a variety of diagnostic requirements: dental pulp, periodontal disease, orthodontics, skin grafts, dental and maxillofacial surgery, and TMJ analysis.
The purpose of Planmeca ProMax 3D s unit is to imaging a smaller field of vision: imaging sizes are best suited for single implant and wisdom teeth, as well as implant surgery and orthodontic treatment.
