Planmeca Romexis

Pros: The software is great for all imaging needs. We are a dental office, and we use this software hourly to acquire, review and diagnosis. We mainly use it for CBCT images, but soon we plan to upgrade to their more robust version that can hold all of our images in one place. Essentially they are to be our one-stop image solution for our Dentrix based office. The customer support is hard to beat. Any time I have some issue, I can call them up and they are quick to help me resolve the issue. I like how fast they respond to things.

Cons: I don't like the training ramp up period. It is a great software, but there is a bit of learning needed. It is not completely intuitive where someone without any training can just get on it and make it work.

Pros: Planmeca is a good software for capturing xrays and viewing them. The tools to adjust the images work great to allow better visualization.

Cons: When exporting a set of images, the images are exported as individuals which becomes time consuming when transferring to another office. When viewing a set of images, I have not been able to figure out how to easily go directly from one image to the next. I have had to close the current image, then find the next image and open it. It would be nice to have a feature to allow for easy scrolling through images in a series.

Overall: Overall, I like using Romexis. The Planmeca images are always great, so I will continue to use the software.

Pros: The Planmeca X-ray machine does not cost much and it gives you a great and quality image. It is also very easy to use.

Cons: The plastic components on it break-down fast and easy. You have to replace several pieces on it, often.

Pros: Does a great job digitally mocking up my preparations. Its auto design feature often does a great job but I love that I can customize my crowns. You can make them as detailed or as generic as you want. It is possible to make really beautiful anatomy with this program, or just quickly scan and design a crown in 15 mins.

Cons: My biggest complaint is with the hardware, the scanning wand is way too bulky. I am not sure if they have other options. Saving files can be a little bit confusing and could be more simple and organized. Overall I don't have any major complaints.

Pros: Easy to use

Integrated with different systems

Easy to maintain

High quality custom services

Cons: Prices are much higher than other providers

Overall: Competitive with other manufacturers
