SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 1, 2025 – Planmeca, a global leader in dental imaging and technology, has officially announced the launch of its first-ever handheld intraoral X-ray device, the Planmeca ProX™ GO. Designed for optimal portability, efficiency, and image quality, the new device aims to transform diagnostic workflows in both traditional dental clinics and mobile care environments. The product will make its debut at IDS 2025 in Cologne, with an initial sales rollout planned for the U.S. market.
A Leap Toward Portable Imaging Solutions
The Planmeca ProX GO is a game-changer for dental professionals seeking flexible, high-quality imaging tools that adapt to evolving care delivery models. From chairside diagnostics to mobile clinics and emergency dentistry, the new device is engineered to meet the demands of dynamic clinical settings where speed, safety, and image precision are paramount.
Weighing just over 2 kilograms, the device’s lightweight build, cordless functionality, and compact design allow it to be easily used and transported between operatories or locations. By removing the need for fixed installations, ProX GO opens the door to imaging in previously inaccessible settings.
Advanced Features Built for Performance
The Planmeca ProX GO brings a powerful combination of usability and technical precision:
- Fixed 70 kV / 3 mA tube and 0.3 mm focal spot for exceptional image clarity
- Up to 300 exposures per battery charge
- Installation-free setup ideal for limited-space environments
- Internal radiation shielding and external backscatter shield for enhanced protection
- Ergonomic, intuitive design for seamless operation and targeting
- Sleek Planmeca aesthetic, reflecting the brand’s design legacy
As part of Planmeca’s integrated ecosystem, ProX GO pairs seamlessly with Planmeca Romexis®, the company’s all-in-one software for diagnostics and treatment planning.
Enhancing Chairside Experience and Patient Communication
By allowing dental professionals to remain chairside during image capture, ProX GO supports improved workflow speed, patient comfort, and communication. This face-to-face interaction enables real-time explanation of procedures and results, fostering greater trust and transparency in the patient experience.
This is particularly beneficial in care settings where mobility and efficiency are critical — including nursing homes, field hospitals, and emergency situations where traditional imaging setups are impractical.
Industry Vision for the Future of Mobile Dentistry
“Planmeca ProX GO represents just the kind of creative thinking and flexible, future-ready solutions that we want to bring to the dental industry,” said Timo Müller, Vice President of Planmeca’s X-ray division. “There is a real demand for versatile portable products like this, which enable high quality imaging in fast-paced and changing environments, such as busy clinics, mobile operatories, and emergency situations. We’re truly excited to be bringing yet another tech and usability innovation to dental professionals all over the world, starting in the U.S. market.”
Strategic Rollout and Market Relevance
The unveiling at IDS 2025 (Hall 1, Booth A30–C39) positions Planmeca at the forefront of portable imaging solutions, addressing industry-wide challenges in accessibility, flexibility, and resource optimization. With growing interest in point-of-care imaging and mobile healthcare delivery, ProX GO is poised to offer dental practitioners a powerful edge in operational agility and patient-centered care.
