3D Cone Beam Imaging Ultra low dose
Advanced 3D Cone Beam Imaging with Planmeca Pro Max 3D Classic
At our Saint-Laurent dental clinic, we are proud to offer the latest in diagnostic imaging technology with the Planmeca Pro Max 3D Classic. This state-of-the-art Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) system delivers ultra-precise, three-dimensional images while maintaining patient safety through ultra-low radiation doses. It’s the perfect combination of innovation, accuracy, and care.
What is 3D Cone Beam Imaging?
3D Cone Beam Imaging is a revolutionary diagnostic tool that captures a complete, detailed view of your oral structures. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, this technology produces a three-dimensional image by using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. The result is a highly detailed, full-volume scan of the teeth, jaw, sinuses, and soft tissues—all captured in a single rotation of the machine.
Why We Use the Planmeca Pro Max 3D Classic
The Planmeca Pro Max 3D Classic is a top-tier CBCT system designed for both versatility and safety. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Ultra-Low Dose Radiation: This system is optimized to minimize radiation exposure, making it safe for regular use and suitable for children, adults, and patients with special considerations.
- High Resolution Imaging: It delivers unparalleled image clarity, capturing even the smallest anatomical details like hairline fractures, micro-canals in teeth, and early bone loss.
- Adjustable Field of View (FOV): Allows us to tailor the scan to focus only on the area of interest—whether it’s a single tooth or the entire jaw—reducing unnecessary exposure.
- Fast Scanning Time: The system completes scans in seconds, ensuring a comfortable and efficient experience for patients.
- 3D Reconstruction Software: Advanced software enables real-time 3D rendering and manipulation of images, providing detailed insights for accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.
Technical Advantages of 3D CBCT Technology
- Voxel Size Options: The Planmeca system offers customizable voxel sizes for varying levels of detail, from routine diagnostics to highly detailed endodontic or surgical planning.
- DICOM Integration: The imaging system seamlessly integrates with DICOM software, allowing collaboration with other specialists or labs for comprehensive care.
- Multi-Plane Viewing: Provides axial, coronal, and sagittal views, along with true 3D visualization, for a complete understanding of complex cases.
- Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR): Reduces interference from restorations like crowns or implants, delivering cleaner and more accurate images.
- AI-Enhanced Diagnostics: Built-in algorithms assist in detecting anatomical landmarks and abnormalities, streamlining treatment planning.
Applications of 3D Cone Beam Imaging
This technology is used across a variety of dental treatments, including:
- Implant Dentistry: Precise measurements of bone density, nerve pathways, and sinus positions for safe and effective implant placement.
- Orthodontics: Detailed mapping of tooth alignment, root orientation, and jawbone structure to optimize orthodontic treatment.
- Endodontics: Visualizing complex root canal systems, locating fractures, or assessing re-treatment needs with unparalleled clarity.
- TMJ Analysis: Assessing the temporomandibular joint in three dimensions for accurate diagnosis of joint disorders.
- Airway Assessment: Evaluating airway structures for sleep apnea diagnosis or orthodontic planning.
- Oral Surgery: Planning extractions, bone grafts, and other surgical procedures with confidence and precision.
Patient Experience with 3D CBCT
The Planmeca Pro Max 3D Classic is designed with patient comfort in mind. The open design reduces feelings of claustrophobia, and the fast scanning process minimizes the time spent in the machine. The system’s ultra-low dose radiation ensures safety while delivering high-quality diagnostic images, giving you peace of mind during every visit.
