Safer and faster
facial surgeries with
Planmeca ProMax 3D ProFace
Planmeca ProMax 3D ProFace system is an
integrated 3D face scan system that can
be added to any Planmeca CBVT imaging
unit. This true 3D application is designed to
fulfil the most diverse diagnostic needs of
today’s maxillofacial and dental professionals. an effective follow-up tool for maxillofacial
Planmeca ProMax 3D ProFace unit is an
integrated 3D unit producing a realistic 3D
face photo in addition to traditional digital
maxillofacial radiography. One single scan
generates both a 3D photo and a CBVT
volume. Alternatively, the 3D photo can be
acquired separately in a completely radiation-
free process: the lasers scan the facial
geometry and the digital cameras capture the
colour texture of the face.
Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid:
an optimal volume size for every
3D imaging application
Both Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid and
Planmeca ProMax 3D ProFace are based
on the acknowledged Planmeca ProMax
platform which makes future upgrades
extremely simple.

The patient’s facial 3D photo gives the
medical or dental professional opportunity to
plan operations and document the follow-up
images. The 3D photo visualises soft tissue in visualising patient anatomy making treatment

covering the mandible and maxilla, and

of field sizes from single tooth to whole
maxillofacial area.
The Planmeca ProMax 3D ProFace
feature is available for:
Planmeca ProMax3 s, Planmeca ProMax 3D,
Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid and soon also for
Planmeca ProMax 3D Max.
“This new product clearly demonstrates
Planmeca's groundbreaking R&D in imaging.
We provide the most advanced tools for
maxillofacial and aesthetic surgeries more
precise, faster and safer,” explains Ms
Helianna Puhlin-Nurminen, Vice President
of Digital Imaging and Applications Division
at Planmeca Oy.
The new Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid 13
provides an extended selection of 3D
volume sizes combined with traditional 2D
panoramic and cephalometric imaging.
The product offers an optimal volume
size for every specialist application requiring
3D imaging. The volume sizes range from 34
x 42 mm to 16 x 16 cm. This wide selection
of volume sizes allows optimising the imaging
area according to specific diagnostic task
– always complying with the best practices
of dentistry and the ALARA (as low as
reasonably achievable) principle to minimise
radiation.
The Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid also offers
new kind of panoramic imaging. The standard
panoramic imaging program is optimised to
expose only the teeth area reducing patient
dose. Optionally, the temporomandibular
joints can be imaged with a program in which
the TMJ imaging angles can be adjusted like in
regular TMJ programs. “The Planmeca ProMax
3D Mid demonstrates our best practices
in imaging. It provides the most advanced
visualisation of patient anatomies for a variety
of diagnostics needs – never compromising
the important principle of minimising the
radiation dose when feasible,” explains Mr
Auvo Asikainen, Vice President of X-ray
Division at Planmeca Oy.
