Planmeca ProOne - Interproximal and Orthogonal Panoramic Programs

9 CONTROL PANEL
User’s Manual Planmeca ProOne 17
In the Interproximal program the basic imaging geometry
is the same as in the standard panoramic program but the
angle of the X-ray beam is more parallel to the
interproximal contacts of the teeth.
This program is used for caries detection.
NOTE
This program is optimized for interproximal imaging and a
shadow of the opposite side teeth may therefore be visible
in the radiograph.
In the Orthogonal program the basic imaging geometry is
the same as in the standard panoramic program but the
angle of the X-ray beam is more perpendicular to the jaw.
This program is useful for periodontal studies.
NOTE
This program is optimized for orthogonal imaging and a
shadow of the opposite side teeth may therefore be visible
in the radiograph.
