The Planmeca ProMax 3D family of Planmeca CBCT machines offer among the greatest performance and value in the industry for digital dental imaging, enabling fast, accurate, precise scans with lower radiation doses. They support a wide variety of clinical applications and deliver on value several times over. 

One of the more common questions regarding Planmeca ProMax 3D systems has to do with the FOV, or field of view, sizes. Here are some of the differences between the Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic and Mid systems. 

Multiple Field of View Sizes: The Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic vs. the ProMax 3D Mid

Both the Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic and Mid offer multiple field of view sizes, which offer different use cases depending on the application. With that said, the ProMax 3D Mid offers the wider range of volume sizes. 

The Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic offers both small (4x5cm) and medium (8x8cm) cone beam fields of view. The smaller setting is perfect for restricting the area of interest to inspection of a single tooth whereas the larger volume size is practical for dual jaw imaging. Being able to adjust the field of view enables dental professionals to limit radiation exposure and focus only on the area of interest. 

The Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid offers a little extra flexibility with respect to field of view volume sizes, from small, single-tooth 4x5cm volume sizes all the way up through a larger, 17x20cm field of view that’s large enough to capture the detail of anatomical structures needed to investigate TMJ disorders, airway disorders, and more. 

Both of these Planmeca ProMax 3D systems deliver a great deal of value and flexibility, but if your practice needs the added ability to capture large volumes in a single scan, the ProMax 3D Mid offers the greatest value. 

The Paramount Importance of Patient Safety

The flexibility to collimate the field of view down to the area of interest isn’t just about the ability to focus on fine anatomical details. It is also about adhering to the ALARA principle. Focusing the cone beam to the field of view not only minimizes overall radiation exposure but restricts it to the area of interest, improving patient safety. 

What Else Planmeca ProMax 3D Systems Offer

While the Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid enables slightly more flexibility with respect to FOV sizes, both Planmeca systems offer:

• High-resolution and small voxel sizes that result in exceptionally finely detailed scans.

• Planmeca Ultra Low Dose Imaging Protocol that further reduces the overall radiation exposure.

• SCARA Technology that uses an advanced, articulated robotic arm to execute the most complex movements, effortlessly.

• Planmeca’s Romexis imaging software that, while it robustly supports 2D and 3D imaging protocols as well as CAD/CAM work, integrates seamlessly with most practice software.
