Dr Will Carter and Dr Ian Lane Visit Helsinki

Dr Will Carter and Dr Ian Lane spent 2 days in Finland last week at the Planmeca headquarters in Helsinki. A leading dental technology company, Planmeca specialise in the design and manufacture of high technology dental equipment and solutions.

Dr Carter took a few pictures for us whilst they were away.

Dr Carter said “This old radiology unit (above) is one of the first in the world, dating back to 1930, thankfully we have now moved on to ultra-low dose 3D-CT scanning with digital colour face mapping … The future is coming to Billingham!”

Below is a photo of Dr Carter using the 3D CT scanning machine which Queensway Dental Clinic has invested in. The cone beam CT scanner with integrated 3D facial mapping  uses Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ imaging protocol, enabling CBCT imaging with an even lower patient radiation dose, making it safer for our patients whilst also providing a much higher level of accuracy in treatment planning. Arriving within the next few months the CT scanner will mainly be used when treatment planning for dental implants, oral surgery and BTX.
