INTRODUCTION
User’s Manual
1 INTRODUCTION
The Planmeca ProOne X-ray unit produces digital X-ray
images for the diagnosis of dentomaxillofacial anatomy.
The unit is allowed to be used only under supervision of a
dental/health care professional.
This manual describes how to operate the Planmeca
ProOne X-ray unit. Please read these instructions
thoroughly before using the unit.
You need a PC with the Planmeca Dimaxis/Romexis
imaging software to save, view and modify the
radiographs. The Dimaxis/Romexis software has a
separate manual which should be used in conjunction
with this manual.
Planmeca ProOne X-ray fulfills the requirements of
Directive 93/42/EEC.
CAUTION FOR US USERS:
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or
on the order of a dentist.
NOTE The X-ray unit’s software revision is shown briefly on
the control panel when the X-ray unit is switched on.
This manual is valid for software revision 1.0.0.r or
later. This software revision is compatible with
Dimaxis software revision 4.3.0.0.r or later and
Romexis software revision 1.4.0.0.r or later.
The display values shown in this guide are only examples
and should not be interpreted as recommended values
unless otherwise stated.
The Planmeca ProOne X-ray unit features preset
exposure values for all imaging programs. The exposure
values have been preset at the factory to automatically
correspond with the selected exposure program and
patient size. However, the exposure values required to
produce good X-ray images will vary considerably
according to the build and age of the patient. The preset
exposure values are average values and they are only
meant to guide the user. Users are encouraged to
develop their own radiographic techniques based on
these values.
Make sure that you are fully acquainted with the
appropriate radiation protection measures and these
instructions before using the X-ray unit.

The Select program display appears. Select the required
panoramic exposure program by touching the appropriate
field on the display. The selected program will be
highlighted.
There are four panoramic exposure programs: Standard,
Improved orthogonality, Improved interproximality and
Bitewing.
NOTE The panoramic program “Standard” is included in the
basic program package. Other panoramic programs
are optional.
The Standard panoramic program has a traditional path
and angles of the beam.
In the Improved orthogonality 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.
The 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.

In the Improved interproximality 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.
The Bitewing program produces bitewing-like images
from premolar and molar areas including parts of maxilla,
mandible and rami.
The bottom of the maxillary sinus as well as the
mandibular canal and the mental foramen are also visible.
The bitewing program uses improved interproximal
angulation projection geometry.
