Unique combination of 3D face photo and CBVT image – Planmeca ProMax 3D ProFace

2 March 2010

Planmeca launches a unique CBVT imaging unit with integrated 3D face scan system. Planmeca ProMax 3D ProFace produces a realistic 3D face photo in addition to traditional digital maxillofacial radiography. Planmeca is the first to introduce a CBVT unit integrated 3D face scan.

Both a 3D photo and a CBVT volume are generated in single scan, or if required, separately. Acquiring the 3D photo is radiation-free; two lasers scan the facial geometry, and digital cameras capture the colour texture of the face. Planmeca Romexis software then combines the 3D photo with the CBVT volume. The CBVT volume is generated similarly to other units based on the Planmeca ProMax platform.

3D photo is an exceptionally beneficial tool in operation preplanning and treatment follow-up. As Planmeca ProMax 3D ProFace acquires a CBVT image and a 3D photo in single scan, the patient position, facial expression, and muscle position remain unchanged, resulting in perfectly compatible images.
