HELSINKI, Finland: Finnish manufacturer of state-of-the-art 3-D digital imaging solutions Planmeca has announced Planmeca Somia, a light, slender and easy-to-use intra-oral camera that facilitates patient communication and image documentation. Because of its small size and user-friendly operation, the new device can easily reach all areas and is a valuable aid for all dental professionals, the company said.

The camera’s live video and temporary image freezing functions are optimal features for a quick explanation to the patient. As such, Planmeca Somia helps dental professionals with patient communication and motivation, as well as treatment documentation. As the freezing/unfreezing and saving of images can also be done from the foot control, hands can be left free for positioning the camera. The macro mode allows for extremely close-up images, which can quickly be saved to the patient database in Planmeca Romexis.

After selecting the patient in the Planmeca Romexis software, the hygienic cover is placed on the camera. The camera can be mounted on the dentist instrument console or on the assistant-side Flexy holder, whichever suits the user best. After use, the camera is cleaned by simply removing the hygienic cover and wiping the device with a soft cloth dampened with disinfectant.
