Where the Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio stands today
- Resolution holds up: at its sharpest (85µm voxel) it's still in the fine-detail tier the newest units sell on. You are not behind on image quality.
- Field of view reaches 13cm — enough for both arches in one capture. Most practices never switch out of the small default FOV and never know they have this.
- At 11 years (2015) it's aging but not obsolete. This is exactly the window resellers target for a trade-up you may not need yet.
- Detector: CMOS.
- This model is no longer sold new — which means parts, service, and software support are the thing to verify before any new spend.
What it already does that most practices don't use
- Multiple FOV modes (50x50 mm, 61x78 mm, 78x78 mm, 78x150 mm, 130x150 mm (optional)). Most operators leave it on one preset — the larger modes are already paid for.
- The same unit does panoramic/ceph as well as 3D — one capture surface you may be sending out for.
- Output/networking: DICOM 3.0 export. That export path is what lets a scan leave the machine and become something a patient can actually look at.
Upgrade paths for the Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio
- UpgradeMaxio widened FOV to five sizes up to 13x15 cm (optional large FOV) and added Low Dose Technology (ADC, up to ~80% dose reduction) and MAR. Modular pan/ceph/3D; 2D scout before CBCT. Platform shared with KaVo OP 3D Pro.
- NetworkThe fastest upgrade is almost never new hardware — it's getting the volume off the machine and into a workflow. That alone changes what the box is worth to you.
- ReconfigureSwitching your default to the right FOV/scan mode for implant cases is free, and most practices never do it.
Repair vs. replace: what it costs
Repair: the dominant wear item on any dental CBCT is the X-ray tube — a replacement runs roughly $15,000-$40,000, typically every 3–7 years depending on scan volume. A larger-FOV unit like this one sits toward the upper end of that range. Budget a service contract at about $5,000–$15,000/year and software licensing around $2,000/year. A flat-panel detector is the big unknown — it isn't publicly priced, so get a manufacturer quote before assuming the worst.
Parts & service (legacy unit): because this model is no longer sold new, parts and service availability — not the sticker — decide whether a repair is worth it. Confirm both before any spend.
Replace: a comparable unit runs roughly ~$40k-$80k used. The honest test before spending that is whether a networking or software path gets you most of the capability for a fraction of it — for an aging machine, it usually does.

Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio — common questions
- Can Alvea use scans from the Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio?
- Yes. The Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio exports a standard DICOM volume, and Alvea converts that volume into a chairside 3D model of the patient's jaw — no new hardware and no new scan. It runs off the cone-beam you already take.
- Is the Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio discontinued, and what replaced it?
- The Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio is no longer sold new. An aging unit is rarely a reason to replace on its own — parts, service and a software/networking path usually keep it clinically current for far less than a new machine.
- How much does a Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio cost?
- A comparable Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio runs roughly ~$40k-$80k used. Before replacing, weigh whether a networking or software path gets you most of the capability for a fraction of that.
- How much does it cost to repair a Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio?
- The dominant repair on any dental CBCT is the X-ray tube, which runs roughly $15,000-$40,000 and is typically replaced every 3–7 years by scan volume. Annual service contracts run about $5,000–$15,000, and a flat-panel detector is quoted by the manufacturer rather than listed publicly. These are 2025–26 industry ranges, not a quote for a specific unit.
- What is the field of view on the Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio?
- The Instrumentarium OP300 Maxio reaches 13 cm, enough to capture both arches in one scan — a mode most practices never switch to.
