History
Planmeca was founded by Heikki Kyöstilä in 1971. Kyöstilä is the president and owner of Planmeca.
In the 1970s, Planmeca manufactured dental stools and instrument cabinets, and created its first patient chair and dental unit.
The 1980s was a decade of international expansion and subsidiaries were established abroad. Planmeca introduced a microprocessor-controlled dental chair, panoramic X-ray device and dental unit.
In the 1990s, Planmeca introduced a dental unit with an integrated patient chair. The decade was also an era of digital progress – Planmeca introduced an integrated information technology system for a digital dental practice, the all in one -concept. The concept allowed instant access to all digital clinical patient information at chair side via one software.
In the 2000s, Planmeca introduced a dental unit that could be converted from right- to left-handed use with motorised movements as well as the Planmeca Romexis software for processing patient information, dental unit’s user activities and images. Planmeca also introduced a new SCARA technology in its X-ray units, which enabled free formation of imaging geometry.
In the 2010s, the concept of Digital perfection was launched. The combination of a digital intraoral scan, a 3D X-ray (CBVT) and a 3D facial photo provides comprehensive information on the patient’s anatomy.
