For two decades now, Townies have voted on the most comprehensive list of peer-recommended products and services in dentistry. Townie Choice Awards winners have become recognized as the most reliable and reputable in dentistry!
We are thrilled to share that Planmeca is the winner in TWO categories of the 2023 Dental Townie Choice Awards®
The best choice and the most preferred extraoral imaging by dentists. We are proud to have these models for our beloved Cambodian dentists.
The pioneering and scientifically proven protocol is based on intelligent low dose 3D imaging algorithms that decrease effective patient doses significantly without a statistical reduction in image quality – helping clinicians everywhere adhere to the ALADA principle (As Low As Diagnostically Acceptable).
The use of the protocol and its benefits have been examined and scientifically proven in various studies.
Using the Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D imaging protocol is as simple as pressing a button. You can easily select it from the control panel of the X-ray unit – with the patient dose for the image immediately visible for full transparency.
The Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D imaging protocol can be used with all voxel sizes and imaging modes – from the smallest to largest FOVs. It is ideal for obtaining detailed anatomical information at a very low patient dose.
The Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D imaging protocol has proven to be ideal for a wide range of clinical cases: from orthodontics, implant planning and maxillofacial surgery to airway and sinus studies.
High resolutions and standard doses are not always necessary – often less is sufficient. Planmeca Ultra Low Dose 3D imaging is enough to see the mandibular nerve channel for implant planning and wisdom tooth extractions, for example. This can all be done at an incredibly low dose.

Planmeca Imprex is a mobile medical-grade computer system which allows dental professionals to capture digital impressions with a Planmeca Emerald® S intraoral scanner and easily communicate treatment data to patients using a touch screen.
The screen is mounted on a 50 cm monitor arm, which can be adjusted to an optimal angle to suit ergonomic working positions, regardless of whether the user is sitting or standing or right- or left-handed.
The scanning station comprises an integrated high-performance PC, which resides within a rounded cover designed to ensure an optimal flow of air for efficient cooling of the system and a compact appearance. The computer has plenty of calculation power for carrying out digital workflows. This eliminates the need for a separate laptop, which streamlines intraoral scanning and allows dentists to engage patients by visualising clinical data on the touch screen.
The system comes with a pre-installed Planmeca Romexis® software suite and is ready for immediate use after unboxing. Thanks to its unique tripod construction and wheels, Planmeca Imprex adapts to various clinical environments as it can be moved and rotated freely close to any dental unit. The scanning station can also be easily shared between treatment rooms.
“Planmeca Imprex has been crafted in line with Planmeca’s design philosophy to create products that are functional, durable and beautifully designed. In addition to having the same recognisable and timeless aesthetics as other Planmeca products, Planmeca Imprex fits seamlessly into any clinical environment thanks to its unique tripod construction. I am extremely delighted by the acknowledgment from Red Dot, as it confirms that our focus on innovative design aimed at enhancing the daily work of dental professionals is indeed the right approach,” says Pontus Degerlund, CAD/CAM Director at Planmeca.
Introduced at IDS 2023, the Planmeca Imprex™ mobile scanning station convinced the jury of the renowned Red Dot design competition in the product design category.
