”We found out that there are temporary dental clinics to be established in Tohoku region with the support of Japanese government," said Heikki Kyöstilä, president of Planmeca Oy. "We would like to do our share in contributing to the rebuilding efforts of this tsunami-ridden region. With these dental devices modern, high-quality dental care become available for people in the crisis area.”
The design of the Planmeca Compact i dental unit has been steered by the importance of ergonomics and uncompromised safety of the dental team, as well as highest level of hygiene. There are more than 25 000 Planmeca Compact i dental unit installations and users around the world.
Planmeca is a market leader in dental imaging devices--panoramic, intraoral, and 3D imaging units. The Planmeca ProMax 3D s digital imaging unit is designed to obtain complete information on patient anatomy in the minutest detail. The unit complies with a multitude of diagnostic requirements: those of endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, implantology, dental and maxillofacial surgery, and TMJ analysis.
Planmeca ProMax 3D s unit is intended for imaging with a smaller field of view: the imaging size is optimal for single--implant and wisdom tooth cases, as well as for implant surgery and orthodontic treatment.
“All Planmeca imaging units comply with the best practices of dentistry,” stated Kyöstilä. "Pulsed X-ray of 3-D units, together with the short rotation scan, virtually eliminates artefacts, contributing to outstanding image quality. Planmeca’s patented, computer-controlled SCARA (Selectively Compliant Articulated Robot Arm) technology allows a variety of imaging programs."
The announcement of the donation will be made May 26-28, 2011, in cooperation with Planmeca’s distributor in Japan, the GC Corporation, at the 18th International Congress of DentoMaxillofacial Radiology in Hiroshima. The temporary dental clinic is expected to be set up in Tohoku region in June 2011.
