Planmeca’s cutting-edge endodontic
imaging mode – detailed images
without noise or artefacts

Specifically designed for endodontic studies,
Planmeca’s advanced endodontic imaging mode
provides perfect visualisation of even the finest
anatomical details. It is available for all X-ray units
belonging to the Planmeca ProMax® 3D family and is
ideal for endodontics, as well as other cases that require
imaging of small anatomical details, such as imaging of
the ear. The program produces extremely high-resolution
images with a very small voxel size (only 75 µm).

Thanks to the intelligent Planmeca AINO™ noise
removal and Planmeca ARA™ artefact removal algorithms,
noise-free and crystal-clear images are produced.

Without artefact removal With Planmeca ARA™ artefact Planmeca ARA removes artefacts efficiently
Metal restorations and root fillings in the patient’s mouth
removal algotrithm can cause shadows and streaks in CBCT images. The
intelligent Planmeca ARA Artefact Removal Algorithm
removes these artefacts efficiently from Planmeca
ProMax 3D images.

Without noise removal With Planmeca AINO™ noise filter Planmeca AINO removes noise from CBCT images
A particularly low radiation dose or small voxel size can
cause noise in 3D X-ray images. The new Planmeca AINO
Adaptive Image Noise Optimiser is an intelligent noise
filter that reduces noise in CBCT images without losing
valuable details. The filter improves image quality in the
endodontic imaging mode, where noise is inherent due to
the extremely small voxel size. It is also especially useful
when using the Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ protocol,
where noise is induced by the particularly low dose.
Planmeca AINO also allows reducing exposure values
and consequently the radiation dose in all other imaging
modes. ▰
