Planmeca Viso® is the choice CBCT unit of dental professionals and radiologists around the world. Read what our customers think about our popular family of world-leading imaging devices and how they use their own Planmeca Viso units in their daily clinical practice.
“I was used to working with a different imaging platform during my residency, but was able to transition to Planmeca Viso quite quickly. It was straightforward and did not take a lot of effort.”
“I especially like that I am able to use two different features to reduce radiation. The first one is the unit’s video scout view. I do not usually need to take a radiographic scout image of the patient – I am able to use the unit’s screen and integrated cameras to position the volume.”
“We also use the system to take CBCT images of ears and sinuses for the hospital’s ENT department. This is a new service we have been offering that everyone is happy about, because they are higher resolution images at lower doses.”
– Dr Gilad Wasserman, Specialist in Oral Medicine
Tel Aviv Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel
“We use our Planmeca Viso every day for all kinds of indications, e.g. to assess wisdom teeth proximity to inferior alveolar nerves, bone quantity for implant placement, temporomandibular joint disorders, bony pathology in the jaws, traumatic injuries to the face, and dentofacial deformities.”
“As I was comparing different units, I was particularly impressed with the endodontic imaging mode and the clarity of a small field of view (FOV) image of a single tooth, in which I was able to see the crack lines clearly. But since I am not an endodontist, the most attracting thing for me was the large FOV of Planmeca Viso G7 – and especially the ability to take a large FOVs with comparatively low patient doses thanks to Planmeca Ultra Low Dose imaging protocol. That was an important advantage over other brands.”
“The resolution of the CBCT images is second to none. The 3D image is the best that I have seen in CBCT machines. A senior radiologist from a major teaching hospital also said it is even comparable to a conventional spiral CT, which, however, exposes patients to much higher doses.”
– Dr Chan Siew Luen, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon
Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, Singapore
“When I need a 3D scan, I always oversee the imaging session and the positioning of the FOV to be sure that it provides additional data and that we get the right image the first time. For me, it’s even better than a microscope, because you can see more in-depth.”
“Then we can also better explain to the patient what’s the underlying cause for their discomfort, why the condition must be treated and what’s the right treatment. With a 3D image, it’s easy to stand by your decisions as a clinician, because there’s no need for guesswork.”
“Of course, before 3D imaging, we all had to manage with panoramic imaging – and we did. But today, 3D is a tool that I, as an endodontist, would never go without.”
– Dr Sirpa Pöyry, DDS, Specialist in Endodontics
Qmedical Pikku Huopalahti, Helsinki, Finland
”For years, we have been participating in clinical imaging trials conducted by Planmeca. There’s such a positive vibe to this cooperation. Planmeca takes genuine pride in their product know-how, and that is just a great thing to watch.”
”We have been among the first to try out new technology. In fact,I was the first Planmeca Viso user in the whole world. We now have both the G7 and G5 versions of the CBCT unit.”
”The best part of Planmeca Viso is its excellent image quality and the low patient doses enabled by the unit. These are things that truly matter. We use the Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ protocol, and with the huge leaps made in imaging technology, the risks associated with radiation exposure have diminished considerably, especially compared to when we first started CBCT imaging around 15 years ago. Nowadays, we can often make an imaging decision based on the indication – not the amount of radiation.”
– Dr Antero Salo
Qmedical, Helsinki, Finland
“We use the screen to explain and discuss the issues with the patient, so they understand why they’re sitting in my chair, what are the risks, what are the neighbouring structures, and what could happen if they don’t undergo this treatment. And that has been something new for me, being able to talk about these things before treatment, using the X-ray and the treatment plan to better serve the patient.”
– Dr Peter Schleier, Oral Surgeon
Forus Tann- & Kjeveklinikk, Sandnes, Norway
“Our practice is an advanced TMD/facial pain centre. We also provide comprehensive dental services which include restorative procedures, implants and endodontic work. So, we needed a versatile system with large and small volume sizes.“
“After a thorough research process, we decided to acquire the new Planmeca Viso G7. It offered the flexibility we required as well as advanced imaging critical for our unique needs.”
– Dr Alvaro Ordonez, DDS
South Miami Family Dental, Florida, United States
“Working with 3D imaging is a different way to practice completely; it’s so much better and much more accurate. We now have the ability to see the joints, airways, and tooth positioning, as well as the whole cranium. We can see things that we might miss otherwise. After evaluating the patient clinically, I’m then able to show them in detail what the problems are. That’s why having the 3D image is awesome.”
