Our unique teaching concept offers the most advanced tools for modern dental education – from simulation units and software to centralised infection control, dental care units, CAD/CAM solutions and 2D and 3D imaging devices.
In addition to our own products and services, we have a long history of working together with an extensive network of companies that provide specialised and complimentary solutions regarding, for example, water quality, haptic simulations and video streaming.
The Planmeca teaching concept offers significant cost-savings to universities by means of centralised software upgrades, centralised infection control and hygiene protocols, remote monitoring and user assistance, as well as proactive maintenance. These procedures decrease the total cost of ownership and extend the lifetime of the investment.
Planmeca’s extensive experience from a large number of projects worldwide supports the school or hospital in making economic decisions and long-lasting investments.

At the heart of all Planmeca products is our world-leading software that meets all the imaging and dental unit management requirements set by any dental facility.
Our X-ray units enable 3D imaging with an even lower patient radiation dose than standard 2D panoramic imaging and thus offer a great amount of detailed diagnostic information at a very low patient dose.
Our unique 3x3D concept brings together a CBCT image, a 3D face photo and 3D model scan into one 3D image – all using one X-ray unit and software. This creates a virtual patient in 3D, bringing completely new dimensions to maxillofacial diagnostics.
CAD/CAM technology is transforming traditional dental education and bringing completely new possibilities to both teaching and learning. Planmeca’s CAD/CAM solutions are seamlessly integrated into our Planmeca Romexis® software, meaning that all necessary clinical information is always available in one place. Our unique 3D virtual patient concept can be combined with CAD/CAM data, creating a perfect educational and clinical tool for prosthetic dentistry. All information can also be accessed from iPad devices, so students can practice their new skills wherever they are.
Planmeca Romexis® Compare is a powerful self-assessment tool that enables students to evaluate and measure their work individually against a master template. From learning dental morphology through virtual digital waxing to comparing their work to their school’s chosen ‘ideal’ – students get detailed objective feedback so they can focus on perfecting their clinical skills.

Our Planmeca Romexis® software offers a unique radiology approval process for the needs of modern-day dental education.
•Guarantees a safe learning environment for students by controlling their access to X-ray devices.
•Radiation is disabled until the teacher accepts the student’s X-ray acquisition request.
•After the request has been accepted, the X-ray unit is enabled for image acquisition.
•The student then evaluates the quality of the captured images, and the teacher approves the evaluation.
•The student performs a radiological interpretation using intuitive menus in Planmeca Romexis.
Planmeca Romexis® offers an intelligent option for teaching environments: the teacher can search for images acquired by specific students or with specific Planmeca X-ray devices. This offers an easy way to evaluate student performance. The teacher can also grant user permissions to each student separately.
All Planmeca dental units can be connected to Planmeca Romexis® Clinic Management software. It collects information of all dental unit usage and thus acts as a practical tool for student evaluation and scientific research. It allows storing personal dental unit settings, such as chair positions and instrument settings, and enables applying specified user restrictions for different user groups (e.g. more advanced options for post-graduate students).

Planmeca offers the most advanced and versatile 2D and 3D imaging devices and software to meet all your university’s extraoral and intraoral imaging needs.
Our X-ray units are easy to use with a clear touch screen guiding the user through the imaging process. The students learn correct patient positioning and exposure techniques using state-of-the-art devices, while our advanced radiology approval process guarantees radiation safety.
Our intraoral X-ray unit can be installed in a special lead-lined cabinet. The students can easily and safely practise intraoral techniques using a phantom head together with our intraoral sensors or imaging plates.
Planmeca’s digital imaging solutions offer new teaching possibilities in radiology as well as improved radiation hygiene. The Planmeca Romexis radiology approval process prevents unauthorised use of all radiation-emitting devices and guarantees a safe learning process.
