12 PANORAMIC SCALE
The PLANMECA PANORAMIC SCALE is for
measuring vertical features that appear on panoramic
radiographs taken with a PLANMECA X-ray units. The
scale is useful when carrying out dental procedures
such as:
- root canal therapy; the scale can be used to take
direct measurements of the root canal
- the preparation of the root canal for root post
anchoring; the length of the root can be accurately
measured
- an aid in periodontics; depths of bone pockets and
the amount of remaining bone support can be
determined.
Using the scale
For accurate results the PLANMECA PANORAMIC
SCALE must only be used with panoramic radiographs
taken with PLANMECA X-ray units.
Place the radiograph you wish examine on a light box.
The Panoramic scale can now be placed on the
radiograph and used to measure features in the
vertical direction.
For patients with teeth that are severely tilted in the
bucco-lingual direction the measurements taken with
the PLANMECA PANORAMIC SCALE will be too
short.
