Planmeca ProX Intraoral X-Ray: picture-perfect imaging technology
Roselle, Ill. – Planmeca USA, Inc. has officially launched its new intraoral X-ray, the redesigned and modernized ProX. Created for a wide spectrum of diagnostic imaging needs, the ProX is ideal for bitewing, periapical, and endodontic imaging. With a completely redesigned arm and 0.4mm focal spot for high-quality intraoral images, the ProX is Planmeca’s newest contribution to the future of dental imaging.
“The unique design of the ProX provides the user a smooth, drift free, stable scissors arm that also can be easily serviced in the doctor office,” said Bob Pienkowski, President, Planmeca USA, Roselle, Ill.
When taking an image, the ProX’s smart controls help maintain optimal diagnostic quality, even when imaging conditions change, and user-friendly programmable position with three separate modes simplifies the imaging process.
The ProX provides ultimate flexibility with variable kV, mA and time in a digital-ready, practical design that is engineered to meet future technologies.
“We’ve also designed the ProX to integrate seamlessly with Planmeca’s ProSensor system, which ensures that the ProSensor is always in an easily reachable, ergonomic position. In addition, the ProX adapts to any digital sensor by simple selection in the image mode, which automatically adapts the pre-programmed settings for digital sensors” Pienkowski said.
The ProX supports the ALARA, or “As Low As Reasonably Achievable,” radiation principle, because of its variable, kV, mA and time, which allow the user to adjust the amount of radiation to the minimum value required for the image. This generates significantly less radiation exposure when compared to conventional AC generators, and child and adult settings provide maximum flexibility to meet patient needs.
