The field of digital dentistry is rapidly evolving, with new dental technologies emerging as part of a more efficient and comprehensive work- flow. By pairing Planmeca CAD/CAM solutions with X-ray units in the Planmeca ProMax 3D family, dental professionals can bring together a wide range of detailed information for treatment planning and diagnostic purposes. This seam- less combination of CAD/CAM and 3-D CBCT technology has opened new doors in creating a new standard of care for patients—offering high-quality features for different specialities, all available through one software interface. Planmeca Romexis is the only dental software platform in the world to combine all imaging and the complete CAD/CAM workflow. This powerful solution is at the heart of the Planmeca ecosys- tem, as it provides dental professionals with the ability to acquire more detailed data sets than ever before. Planmeca Romexis includes ad- vanced tools for all specialities, such as implant planning and other restorative treatments. The software presents dental clinics with a superior way to increase their patient flow and improve the level of care offered. Seeing more than ever before Bringing together CBCT data and CAD/CAM work provides a comprehensive level of clarity. Planmeca ProMax 3D imaging units reveal intri- cate information on soft and hard tissue struc- tures, including the mandibular nerve canal, while the Planmeca PlanScan intraoral scanner captures precise data above the gum line. This combination of these data ensures a complete understanding of any case and makes 3-D pros- thetic designing quick, accurate and easy. Clinics are able to operate more flexibly, as restorations can either be milled at a clinic with the Planmeca PlanMill 40 milling unit, or easily sent to a dental lab in an open STL data format. The rise of same-day dentistry A more active role in the manufac- turing of restorations opens up ave- nues for dental clinics to significantly increase their patient volume and grow their business. A streamlined digital workflow ensures the full utilisation of resources, leading to a more effi- cient treatment environment. Same-day dentist- ry is as beneficial for patients as it is for clinics; instead of two visits, patients can be treated in one hour—with no temporary crowns or physi- cal dental models required. Open architecture for maximised efficiency Standardised data is the driving force behind many of the latest developments in digital den- tistry, as it guarantees the interoperability of images and dental data across different hard- ware platforms—reducing costs, increasing predictability and enhancing patient safety. Bringing Planmeca’s CBCT and CAD/CAM systems together through the Plan- meca Romexis software platform makes effective chairside dentist- ry a reality, and presents dentists withastreamlined opportunity to substantially grow their practice.
