Collaborate with Planmeca

Many of Planmeca’s innovations have been born through joint research and close collaboration with universities. Unrivalled scientific knowledge and an in-depth understanding of clinical workflows and new technologies are vital parts of our product development. We want to deepen the cooperation between academic research and dental technology industry and participate regularly in different scientific and research projects.

We are currently participating for example in the following ongoing research projects:
– Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI) collaboration led by Aalto University and University of Helsinki
– AI Head Analysis research project within Clever Health Network (CHN) collaboration led by Helsinki University Hospital
– TOMOHEAD – Mobile cone-beam computed tomography of the head project led by the University of Oulu
– cerAM – ceramic 3D printing project led by Tampere University.

Years of close collaboration with leading dental universities for example in radiology and microbiology have resulted in comprehensive and scientifically proven solutions to lower patient doses without uncompromising X-ray image quality and for an effective external and internal dental unit infection control, respectively.

Examples of scientific publications and projects we have participated in include:
– Ultra-low-dose publication by Juha Koivisto
– Hygiene solutions: Water line and suction tube cleaning with the University of Dublin
– Digital and Physical Immersion in Radiology and Surgery (DPI) project led by Tampere University.

Additionally, we host numerous master’s and PhD thesis workers at our headquarters every year.
