If your practice is still relying on 2D panoramic imaging on its own, your workflow might be more outdated than you think. As well as patient expectations, practice demands have grown, and the technology to meet both now exists in your next 3D imaging system.
So, what are the limits of 2D Panoramic imaging?
2D panoramic X-ray will always remain useful for general dental assessment, but it has limitations. For example, with the increasing demand and technology required for implants, orthodontics, endodontics, and surgical work, 2D often simply isn't enough.
Built on a panoramic dental X-ray platform with the entire oral cavity captured, the DEXIS OP 3D LX combines 2D panoramic, 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT), and optional cephalometric imaging into one upgradeable device. It's a multimodality imaging system for the full spectrum of modern dental needs.
Practices that can diagnose, plan, and treat in-house retain more patients, improve case acceptance.
As an authorised distributor, Probo Medical can offer affordable pricing and if required, flexible leasing options, making it possible to upgrade without a significant upfront cost.

The Key Advantages of the OP 3D LX
• Largest FOV on any DEXIS OP 3D platform — from 5x5 cm quadrant scans to a 15x20 cm full maxillofacial scan, all captured in a single non-stitched pass for faster, more comfortable workflows.
• Broader clinical scope — in-house capability for implant dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery, TMJ assessment, and airway analysis; reducing referrals and keeping more treatment within your practice.
• Advanced image quality — embedded MAR (Metal Artefact Reduction) and ICE (Implant Contrast Enhancer) filters deliver consistently clear images even in complex cases involving existing implants or restorations.
• AI-powered workflows — seamless integration with DTX Studio™ Clinic automates time-consuming tasks including scan preparation, nerve canal tracing, and implant positioning, so your team spends less time in software and more time with patients.
• Automatic Dose Control — newly introduced, this feature measures each patient's anatomy and automatically sets optimal exposure levels, delivering consistent image quality at the lowest reasonable dose.
• A scalable investment — start with the standard configuration and upgrade FOV sizes or add cephalometric capability as your practice grows. An optional 10-year warranty and proactive DEXIS Connect Pro monitoring provide long-term confidence.
Probo Medical continues to help dental practices and hospitals across the UK providing high-quality, affordable diagnostic imaging equipment. We will even purchase and project manage the removal of your old system before whilst you upgrade. Get in touch today for more information.
