Vatech PaX-i3D — 3-in-1 Pan + CBCT + Ceph

Platform overview

The Vatech PaX-i3D is the flagship 3-in-1 combination platform in the Vatech lineup — single floor-standing unit delivering panoramic, cephalometric, and CBCT 3D imaging modalities in one installation. For practices needing comprehensive 2D + 3D imaging capability without committing to two separate machines, this is one of the most popular platforms globally.

Clinical specifications

• Modalities: Pan + CBCT + One-Shot Ceph (single-capture lateral cephalometric in ~0.9 seconds)
• CBCT voxel: 0.12 mm (120 µm) minimum — high enough resolution for mainstream implant and endodontic work
• Multi-FOV capability: multiple CBCT FOV options for different clinical applications
• Panoramic: full-arch panoramic imaging with segment and partial programs
• Cephalometric: lateral ceph captured in single exposure (not stitched) — better geometric accuracy for orthodontic analysis
• Software: EzDent + Ez3D Plus / Ez3D-i (included on PC)

Best fit for

• Orthodontic practices needing routine Pan + Ceph + occasional CBCT in one unit
• General practices expanding into implant dentistry with 3D capability
• Multi-disciplinary practices wanting unified imaging workflow
• Practices replacing aging panoramic with modern 3D capability at one equipment footprint

Typical used market context

New Vatech PaX-i3D retails USD 45,000–60,000 depending on configuration and region. Used units on US/EU markets typically list USD 28,000–40,000 with dealer warranty. Our FOB Shanghai pricing at USD 9,000–10,000 reflects direct-from-Korea buyback without Western dealer markup.

Vatech PaX-400C Dual Sensor — Pan + Ceph

Platform overview

The PaX-400C Dual Sensor is Vatech’s dual-sensor architecture panoramic + cephalometric unit. The dual-sensor design means dedicated detectors for panoramic and cephalometric imaging — each optimized for its modality, faster workflow switching, better image quality than shared-path legacy designs.

Clinical specifications

• Modalities: Panoramic + Cephalometric (2D only, no CBCT)
• Architecture: dedicated Pan detector + dedicated Ceph detector
• Panoramic: standard full-arch + segmented programs
• Cephalometric: lateral + PA ceph captures
• Software: EzDent + Vatech standard imaging platform

Best fit for

• Orthodontic practices needing routine Pan + Ceph records imaging
• General practices with orthodontic case flow that need in-house ceph capability
• Practices that don’t need CBCT (referring CBCT cases externally) but need comprehensive 2D imaging

Vatech PaX-i — Entry Digital Panoramic

Platform overview

The PaX-i is Vatech’s entry-level digital panoramic — one of the most widely installed panoramic units globally across emerging and established markets. Known for reliable operation, straightforward workflow, and proven hardware durability. For practices needing only panoramic imaging (not CBCT, not ceph), this is the workhorse option.

Clinical specifications

• Modalities: Panoramic only (2D)
• Programs: standard full-arch, child panoramic, TMJ, bitewing segments, sinus
• Detector: CMOS digital detector
• Software: EzDent / Ez3D-i (for 2D viewer)
• Exposure time: typical 10–16 seconds panoramic scan

Best fit for

• General practice replacing aging film panoramic or legacy analog unit
• Cost-conscious clinic commissioning first digital panoramic
• Secondary clinic location or satellite operatory with occasional imaging need
• Budget-constrained markets where panoramic-only capability meets clinical workflow

Vatech PaX-400C — Compact 2D Panoramic

Platform overview

The PaX-400C is the compact 2D panoramic variant in the Vatech PaX-400 family — smaller footprint than PaX-i3D or PaX-400C Dual Sensor, making it suitable for space-constrained installations. 2D panoramic only, no cephalometric or CBCT capability.

Best fit for

• Small clinics with limited imaging room space
• Satellite locations needing basic panoramic
• Practices that want a proven Vatech-brand panoramic at entry pricing

Year of manufacture and exposure count

Vatech inventory at our warehouse is typically 2013–2018 vintage — fully functional, modern DICOM output, but not 2023–2025 models. Specific year of manufacture and exposure count (like a car odometer) confirmed per unit before inquiry commitment. Most units show 5,000–25,000 accumulated exposures from their prior clinic use.

Software compatibility and integration

• EzDent: Vatech’s imaging platform, current versions DICOM-compatible, integrates with major practice management systems via DICOM push/pull
• Ez3D-i / Ez3D Plus: CBCT viewer and basic analysis (for PaX-i3D)
• Third-party DICOM viewers: InVivoDental, Dolphin Imaging, OsiriX/Horos, Blue Sky Plan all work with DICOM export from these units
• Practice management integration: Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental all support DICOM import from Vatech units
• Implant planning software: coDiagnostiX, Blue Sky Plan, 3Shape Implant Studio, Dolphin all accept DICOM from PaX-i3D

Installation considerations

• Floor space: approximately 2.0×1.8 m typical footprint (PaX-i, PaX-400C); 2.2×1.8 m plus ceph arm extension for PaX-i3D and PaX-400C Dual Sensor
• Ceiling height: 2.4 m minimum, 2.6 m+ preferred for standing-patient positioning
• Electrical: dedicated 20–30 A circuit, 110/220 V per local standard
• Radiation shielding: typical 1.0–1.5 mm lead equivalent walls; operator barrier with leaded viewing window; radiation safety officer sign-off at destination per local regulation
• Network: gigabit LAN to imaging workstation; PACS integration capability

Common questions specific to Vatech used units

Will the Vatech factory service my used unit?

Vatech authorized service networks in your destination country may or may not service gray-market used equipment. In most markets, local independent dental imaging service technicians handle repair of used Vatech equipment. Check with Vatech distributor in your country before commitment.

Are software updates available?

Units ship with the software version they came with. Newer software versions may require licensing with Vatech or may not be available for older hardware. Your existing software (pre-installed) is fully functional for clinical use.

What if I need Spanish / Arabic / Portuguese interface?

Vatech supports multiple language interfaces in EzDent. Specific language availability confirmed per unit. Ask in your inquiry and we’ll verify available language packs for the unit(s) you’re interested in.

How does image quality compare to new Vatech units?

Honestly: image quality is the same. Detector technology on PaX-i3D or PaX-i hasn’t fundamentally changed between the 2015 and 2024 model years — the same CMOS detector family, same reconstruction algorithms. Newer Vatech models add AI image enhancement, faster reconstruction, and minor workflow improvements, but baseline diagnostic image quality on a well-maintained 2015 PaX-i3D is clinically equivalent to a new unit.
