Planmeca Announces New Dental Unit

HELSINKI, Finland—The Planmeca Compact i dental unit is now growing with a new, smaller member to meet the needs of all dental professionals.

The flexible movement range of Planmeca Compact i3's delivery arm brings ergonomic and space-saving benefits to dental clinics. The unit can be switched from right- to left-hand use in 10 seconds by moving the instrument console—without having to move the operating light. This can be useful in clinics where several dentists use the same dental unit and space is limited.

Due to its slim design, the unit has plenty of working space around it and allows the dental team to work comfortably whether sitting or standing. The small instrument console can be positioned above the patient, making it easier to maintain an ergonomic position throughout the day. The unit’s swivel function can be used to make further fine adjustments according to one’s preferences. The unit is suited for two- and four-handed working techniques.

The intuitive touch panel guides users in their preferred language, and the unit’s design makes external infection control procedures easy and straightforward to perform. The unit can also be customized to individual preferences and upgraded with the features of one’s choice, such as an integrated intraoral scanner.

To fit the needs of large clinics, the Planmeca PlanID sign-in system allows dentists to access their personal settings instantly from any dental unit with a flash of a card. This helps clinics utilize their equipment flexibly, since dental units no longer need to be assigned to specific users. All usage information is stored in the Planmeca Romexis software—this way, large clinics and chains can benefit from knowing when, how and by whom the unit has been used.

 “We believe that great ergonomics, ease of use and a smooth workflow should be necessity, not a luxury. Just like all our dental unit models, the new Planmeca Compact i3 offers all these advantages and more,” says Jukka Kanerva, vice president for Planmeca’s dental care units and CAD/CAM division.
