  Planmeca Calm
  Planmeca Calm (Correction Algorithm for Latent Movement), a proprietary Planmeca algorithm, was created to address doctors' concerns about patient movement during 3-D scans. With Calm, the CBCT machine can analyze and compensate for slight movements during scans to provide improved diagnostic-quality images. 

  The feature, available for every new Planmeca ProMax 3D imaging system, will streamline the imaging process by minimizing retakes while improving diagnosis. The important benefit to patients: Fewer retakes means less radiation while achieving better diagnostic images. 

  The Planmeca ProMax 3D family consists of a complete line of CBCT imaging systems with optional digital 2-D panoramic and cephalometry in the same unit.

  Apex Digital Sensor
  With a true resolution of more than 20 line pairs per millimeter, Masterlink's Apex Dental Sensor (formerly the Ei Dental Sensor) provides image quality that's among the best in the industry. The sensor housing is hermetically sealed and watertight to allow for submersible disinfection, preventing cross-contamination and damage to the sensor's electronic components. The flexible cable provides for effortless positioning based on any diagnostic need. Available in two sizes with tapered edges, rounded corners and a thickness of 5.3mm, the sensor ensures that patients are comfortable during examinations.

  Active acquisition technology means the sensor is always ready to capture images when needed, with no user intervention required to ready the sensor. The direct USB connection makes in-line boxes, buttons and controls obsolete. The process of obtaining high-quality images is as easy as positioning the sensor, taking the X-ray and reviewing the image.
