KaVo ProXam 3D

  • Extremely user-friendly thanks to intuitive operation, quick programme selection and preset exposure values
  • 2D and 3D imaging with just one sensor
  • Less radiation with the same image quality and an integrated children mode
  • High image quality due to extremely small voxel sizes
  • Scout images for the verification of volume positioning
  • Ultra-low dose 3D imaging, ensuring optimal balance of radiation dose and image quality
  • Possibility of expansion with the cephalometric device

The KaVo ProXam 3D combines modern, maxillofacial three-dimensional imaging with various 2D imaging options. 

In addition to the extraoral bitewing and cephalometric X-ray programmes, it also offers a special children's mode. The extremely small voxel sizes produce brilliantly detailed DVT images – even with a reduced dose of radiation.

ProXam 3D - Minimum radiation dose, maximum quality.

Diagnostically impressive 3D imaging at the highest level – that is the claim of the KaVo ProXam 3D X-ray portfolio. The two KaVo 3D X-ray units – KaVo ProXam 3D and KaVo ProXam 3DQ – offer modern, three-dimensional maxillofacial imaging at the highest level, and include numerous supplementary 2D programmes.

Based on extremely small voxel sizes, the KaVo 3D X-ray units generate high-resolution and detailed DVT images of compelling quality, even with a reduced radiation dose. The KaVo ProXam 3D series units, in combination with the all-in-one Romexis software, offer everything you need for an efficient, smart X-ray workflow. 

That means a safe investment, and a process-optimised digital future.

Comfort at its finest - Simple, intuitive and safe.

Ease of use is a top priority.

A KaVo ProXam 3D X-ray unit can be controlled and operated in two ways: either via the swivelling touch display panel on the unit or remotely through the desktop software on a PC.

In addition to the cleverly designed graphic ProXam 3D | 3DQ interface, the touch display also impresses users thanks to simple and quick programme selection and preset exposure values for a wide variety of imaging types. The step-by-step instructions, which guide users through the entire X-ray workflow, are an added bonus.

2D and 3D imaging with just one sensor.

With the intelligent SmartPan™ imaging system, the 3D sensors can be used for all 2D images. This eliminates the need for a time-consuming sensor change between DVT and panorama imaging.

Scout images help verify volume positioning.

Before the actual 3D image, two 2D images can be created laterally and posterior/anteriorly. This helps prevent unnecessary 3D images and minimises the radiation dose for the patient.

Appropriate recording modes for a variety of indications.

Depending on the clinical situation, the tailor-made recording modes of both KaVo ProXam 3D units provide accurate presets, enabling the best possible image quality with the lowest possible radiation dose.

  • In the Ultra Low Dose mode, each X-ray image is created with the minimum radiation dose possible. Ideal for paedodontic dentistry, orthodontics and sinus applications (voxel size 400 or 600 µm). 
  • The normal standard mode is the choice for all standard X-ray examinations (voxel size 200 µm). 
  • The High Definition or HD mode is ideal for recording extremely fine structures such as fractures (voxel size 150 µm). 
  • The HiRes (High Resolution) mode provides particularly high-resolution images (voxel size 100 µm). 
  • The endodontics mode offers the maximum resolution (voxel size 75 µm).

Suitable for all patients.

The open architecture of the KaVo ProXam 3D X-ray units and their spacious, vertical range of motion make it easy to position children, very tall patients, or wheelchair users. The robot-controlled SCARA (Selectively Compliant Articulated Robot Arm) technology with 3-joint arm enables high-precision movements for anatomically correct image geometry.

This allows the C-arm to be fully extended, ensuring easy entry from the side. The open face-to-face positioning gives anxious patients, for example, the sense of security they need. 

For better visualisation and to support patient positioning, this is shown on the touch display. The integrated quadruple laser system is available for correct patient placement.

Suitable for the KaVo 3D X-ray units:

the KaVo PHYSIO chair with stepless height adjustment and lockable castors, resulting in precise and stable patient positioning with every X-ray.

With Ultra Low Dose to High Performance

Same image quality, less radiation.

With the Ultra Low Dose imaging protocol, the KaVo ProXam 3D units offer high-quality DVT images with a radiation dose that is lower than with conventional 2D panoramic images.

The effective radiation dose per patient can be reduced by an average of 77% in Ultra Low Dose mode – without any loss of image quality (Study of Orthodontic Diagnostic FOVs Using Low Dose CBCT protocol - Ludlow, John Barrett and Koivisto, Juha).

Based on special 3D algorithms, the Ultra Low Dose mode can be used with all voxel sizes and in all programmes – up to and including Endo mode.

 For a variety of indications, exposures in Ultra Low Dose mode are particularly suited for the following indications:

  1. Implant planning
  2. Postoperative follow-up after maxillofacial interventions
  3. Examination of the airways and sinuses
  4. In orthodontics:
    • for determination of the apical bone supply
    • for locating non-erupted or impacted teeth
    • for defining reference points for cephalometric analysis

3D Imaging 
KaVo ProXam 3D provides high-resolution volumetric 3D images of the lower and upper jaw as well as the entire dental area.
3D endodontic imaging mode
2D Imaging 
The SmartPan system uses the same 3D Sensor for 2D panoramic images. Also includes MultiView SmartPan, which creates nine panoramic images at different angles. MultiView SmartPan can be used in the panorama programmes. 

The Auto Focus function automatically positions the focal layer based on a low-dose Scout image of the centre of the patient's incisors. It uses points of reference in the patient's anatomy to calculate placement, allowing for error-free patient positioning. 

Available: basic panorama programmes, horizontal and vertical segmentation, bitewing panorama programme.

The 3D reconstruction computer is a maintenance-free, high-performance Linux-based computer that acquires and reconstructs images from an imaging unit. This automatic reconstruction converts the original image data into the 3D volume, which is then transferred to the workstation (Romexis) and to the Romexis server for storage. The 3D reconstruction computer is included in all deliveries of the KaVo ProXam 3D units.

Description

In addition to the functions of the 2D and 3D X-ray unit, the KaVo ProXam 3DQ offers considerably more: what mostly sets the ProXam 3DQ apart is its maximum volume size, which offers additional imaging options and a greater variety of diagnostic applications. It is suitable, for example, for taking images of the sinus, nose, middle ear, petrous bone, cervical spine and airways. 

In addition, the KaVo ProXam 3DQ offers free volume positioning: its C-arm and chin rest adjust automatically depending on which volume is selected, and therefore do not require manual adjustment.

The KaVo ProXam 3D offers state-of-the-art, three‑dimensional maxillofacial imaging at the highest level, including numerous additional options for creating 2D panoramic, extraoral bitewing and cephalometric images. On the basis of extremely small voxel sizes, the KaVo 3D X-ray unit generates high-resolution and detailed DVT images in diagnostically compelling quality and, thanks to the easy-to-use, intelligent setting modes, the image quality is impressive even at small radiation doses.
