CBCT Imaging for Everyday Dentistry

Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ is changing how dentists think about 3D

3D imaging provides general practitioners with a wealth of information not available with 2D radiography. Using Planmeca Ultra Low Dose technology (ULD), dentists can acquire CBCT images at the same or lower patient radiation dose compared to traditional 2D radiology. This paves the way for using CBCT technology in everyday dentistry.

AN ALTERNATIVE IMAGING PROTOCOL

Reducing unnecessary patient exposure is always a top priority for dental professionals. Watch how Planmeca Ultra Low Dose technology can be used as a new “3D PA” when a patient presents with discomfort exposing the patient to less radiation than a 2D intraoral periapical while achieving an accurate and timely diagnosis.

UNDERSTANDING RADIOLOGY

Board-certified radiologist, Dr. Peter Green, talks about the ionizing effect of radiation and why it’s critical for dentists to limit patient exposure.

TESTIMONIALS

Michael Young, DDS

“One of the reasons I purchased a Planmeca CBCT unit was the low dose technology,” Dr. Young explained. “I called my rep and asked for the dose information on my Planmeca ProMax® 3D Classic. I wanted to see the numbers myself. What I learned really opened my eyes. By using Planmeca’s Ultra Low Dose technology, I can take a 5x5 limited view of the area of concern, which is delivers the same or low patient radiation compared to the 2D periapical, and we can make an accurate diagnosis right away. This became my ‘3D PA’ and I follow this imaging protocol when a patient comes in with discomfort. It’s been incredible. There are so many benefits. With an earlier diagnosis, treatment could be provided sooner, resulting in less bony destruction and tooth loss. This paradigm shift from 2D PA to 3D PA is better for our patients, and it’s better for our practices because we must be efficient, especially now.”
