Planmeca is expanding its extensive product range with
an unmatched method for tracking jaw movement.
The standard-setting Planmeca 4D™ Jaw Motion system
offers incomparable visualisation and measurement
data of mandibular 3D movements in real-time. It will be
available as an option for the Planmeca ProMax® 3D Mid
and Max X-ray units.

Planmeca 4D™ Jaw Motion is the only true CBCT integrated
solution for tracking, recording, visualising and analysing
jaw movement in 3D. Utilising CBCT imaging and Planmeca
ProMax® 3D ProFace cameras, Planmeca 4D Jaw Motion
tracks and visualises jaw movements in real-time, requiring no
additional hardware in the process. Captured 3D visualisations are
displayed in the Planmeca Romexis® imaging software without delay,
allowing immediate diagnostics. All data can also be recorded for
later use and analysis.
With Planmeca 4D Jaw Motion, it is possible to measure and
record the movement path of one or more points of interest in a 3D
image. For occlusion analysis, digital dental models can be aligned
with a CBCT image. All movement and measurement information
can be exported to 3rd party software in an XML or CSV format for
analyses and treatment planning.
“Planmeca 4D Jaw Motion provides users with extremely valuable
quantitative data regarding lower jaw movement, as well as
other information unattainable with a static 3D image”, states
Ms. Helianna Puhlin-Nurminen, Vice President, Digital Imaging and
Applications division at Planmeca.
Planmeca 4D Jaw Motion can be used for temporomandibular
disorder (TMD) diagnostics, mandibular movement analysis, articula-
tor programming, as well as preoperative planning and postoperative
treatment verification. ▰
