PLANMECA ProMax® 3D System Receives SureSmile® Certification for Compatibility with SureSmile® Technology

PLANMECA and SureSmile team up as PLANMECA gained SureSmile® Certification on the 15th of May for its ProMax® 3D System

Roselle, IL —May 29, 2009—The PLANMECA ProMax® 3D System is one of only two Cone Beam scanners certified by OraMetrix Inc., a leading provider of technology-based orthodontic care solutions, for seamless integration with the latest advancements in SureSmile® technology (www.suresmile.com) which transforms Cone Beam scans of the mouth and teeth into 3-D computer models for orthodontic treatment planning and treatment. PLANMECA gained SureSmile® Certification on the 15th of May for its ProMax 3D System utilizing Romexis Software version 2.1.1 or later with 15bit DICOM support enabled.     

The SureSmile ® system is a doctor-driven digital therapeutic solution for the practice of orthodontics that replaces conventional manually-managed treatment. Orthodontists can now take a PLANMECA ProMax® 3D System scan of the patient’s mouth, face, and jaw, and use this data in the SureSmile® system for unprecedented control of treatment through virtual diagnostic simulations, instant quality grading tools, prescriptive planning capabilities and robotic arch-wire customization. 

“Since we introduced Cone Beam CT integration with SureSmile last year, we’ve received strong demand from orthodontists to integrate with CBCT devices that provide an upgrade path from current 2-D technology,” says Phil Getto, Chief Technology Officer of OraMetrix, Inc.  “We are pleased to have certified a system from a recognized market leader in dental imaging.  The integration of SureSmile with PLANMECA ProMax 3D System provides customers with even more imaging options when using SureSmile.”

PLANMECA is now able to offer the dental community another SureSmile Certified choice for their practices with the ProMax® 3D Imaging System and Romexis Software version 2.1.1 or later with 15bit DICOM support enabled. 

“We realize advanced products like SureSmile, when combined with high-tech imaging products, such as the ProMax® 3D, can help improve the dental industry’s standard of care. PLANMECA’s goal is to help doctors and dental professionals, bring the best available care to their patients, the safest and most effective way possible.  Teaming up with SureSmile® will help PLANMECA make goals like this a reality.” says Bob Pienkowski, President of PLANMECA USA, Inc.  “We are very proud to be 1 of only 2 companies with the SureSmile Certification, and we are excited to give SureSmile customers a choice for their 3D imaging.  PLANMECA is looking forward to working with OraMetrix and their quality team of people.”
