As dentistry continues its shift toward digitally driven diagnosis and treatment planning, the role of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become increasingly important. From implant planning and endodontics to orthodontics and oral surgery, clinicians require imaging solutions that deliver diagnostic accuracy, patient safety, and efficient workflows.

The Planmeca Viso CBCT family has been developed to meet these clinical demands combining exceptional image quality, intelligent dose management, and seamless software integration in a future ready imaging platform.

High‑Resolution 3D Imaging for Modern Dental Diagnostics

Planmeca Viso systems provide high‑resolution CBCT imaging optimised for a wide range of dental and specialist applications, including:

• Implant planning
• Endodontic diagnostics
• Orthodontic assessment
• Maxillofacial and surgical evaluation

Advanced flat panel sensor technology delivers sharp, high‑contrast images, while multiple size options allow clinicians to balance resolution with radiation dose based on the clinical indication.

Clinical literature supports the value of CBCT imaging for accurate anatomical assessment, with studies confirming that CBCT based measurements for implant planning are comparable to direct measurements when appropriate protocols are used.

Intelligent Dose Management Without Compromising Image Quality

Radiation safety remains a key consideration in dental imaging. The Planmeca Viso platform incorporates ultra low dose imaging, allowing clinicians to acquire diagnostically valuable 3D images at significantly reduced effective doses.

Scientific studies have demonstrated that low‑dose CBCT protocols can maintain diagnostic accuracy for implant planning and anatomical assessment, particularly when combined with optimised exposure parameters and appropriate voxel sizes.

Additional dose‑optimisation technologies include:

• Automatic exposure control based on patient size and examination type
• Pulsed exposure and synchronised image acquisition
• CALM patient movement correction, which has been shown to reduce motion artefacts and unnecessary retakes.

Designed for Patient Comfort and Efficient Workflows

Ease of use and patient experience are central to the Planmeca Viso design. Features supporting everyday clinical workflows include:

• Open, accessible unit design to enhance patient comfort
• Adjustable head and occipital supports for improved stability
• Four integrated cameras with live virtual field‑of‑view positioning
• Fast scan times to minimise motion artefacts and chair‑time

These design features help improve scan consistency while supporting busy practice environments.

Versatile Imaging Capabilities Across Specialties

The Planmeca Viso family offers flexible field‑of‑view (FOV) options, supporting imaging from a single tooth to full craniofacial volumes, depending on model and configuration.

Available imaging programs include:

• CBCT
• Panoramic
• Cephalometric (model dependent)
• Optional 3D facial imaging

This versatility makes Planmeca Viso suitable for general dental practices, implant‑focused clinics, orthodontic workflows, and multidisciplinary environments.

Seamless Integration with Planmeca Romexis® 7 Software

Planmeca Viso systems are fully integrated with Planmeca Romexis® 7, a unified software platform that brings together 2D, 3D, and CAD/CAM workflows in one environment.

Romexis 7 introduces AI‑powered tools that support:

• Automated anatomy recognition and segmentation
• Intelligent implant planning assistance
• Enhanced visualisation for diagnosis and patient communication
• Efficient case sharing and interdisciplinary collaboration

 AI‑assisted imaging software has been shown to improve workflow efficiency and enhance clinician‑patient communication without replacing clinical decision‑making. 

 
Clinical Confidence, Long Term Value

By combining advanced imaging hardware with intelligent software, the Planmeca Viso CBCT platform supports diagnostic confidence, responsible radiation use, and long‑term scalability as digital dentistry continues to evolve.

Independent evaluations and clinical reviews consistently rate Planmeca Viso highly for image quality, usability, and versatility across clinical applications.
