Planmeca Brings “CALM” to Imaging

ROSELLE, Ill.—One of the main disruptors of image quality for dentists is patient movement. During a dentist appointment, a doctor may need to take several 3-D X-ray scans to get a single image of diagnostic quality.

Planmeca CALM (Correction Algorithm for Latent Movement), a proprietary Planmeca algorithm, was created to address doctor’s concerns over patient movement during a 3-D scan. With Planmeca CALM, the CBCT machine can analyze and compensate for the slight movement during a scan to provide improved diagnostic quality images.

This added feature (available for every new Planmeca ProMax 3D imaging system), will streamline the imaging process by minimizing retakes while improving diagnosis. The important benefit to patients: Less retakes equals less radiation while achieving better diagnostic images. 

“Dentists evaluating CBCT machines for purchase should focus critically on each manufacturer’s solutions for stabilizing the patient in the machine," said Dale A. Miles DDS, MS (Inside Dentistry, May 2017).

Planmeca CALM addresses this doctor’s requirement as it can compensate for slight movement to produce diagnostic quality images and is available on new Planmeca ProMax 3D imaging systems, or as an upgrade for existing units. The Planmeca ProMax 3D family consists of a complete line of CBCT imaging systems with optional digital 2-D panoramic and cephalometry in the same unit.
