ATLANTA—To help encourage conversations about imaging safety between patients and their dental practitioners, PlanmecaUSA has developed a complimentary ultra-low-dose (ULD) certification program for Planmeca ProMax 3D ULD-capable systems. 

The Helsinki, Finland-based dental technology company, with North American headquarters in Roselle, Illinois, manufactures and sells imaging equipment such as Planmeca ProMax 3D systems. This CBCT system has a ULD feature that delivers a lower dose of radiation.

“A Planmeca ProMax 3D system using ULD can drastically reduce patient radiation by up to 77 percent—without a statistical reduction in image quality*,” said Brett Hines, president of PlanmecaUSA. Hines cited a published study that demonstrates radiation doses used in dental imaging can be reduced without loss of diagnostic quality. 

The program's features include:
- Planmeca ULD-certified office display materials.
- Participants can access downloadable digital materials for use on their website and social media outlets to market their practice as Planmeca ULD-certified. 
- Participants become part of a searchable database of Planmeca ULD-certified dentists for prospective patients in their area. 
- The complimentary program is available to all practices using Planmeca ProMax 3D Ultra Low Dose enabled systems.
