Official title
Application of a Dental-dedicated MRI in the Diagnosis of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, Tissue Alterations Related to Third Molars, Periapical and Periodontal Inflammatory Diseases, and Implant Planning
Overview
The aim of the present study is to show that the use of 0.55T MRI combined with a "dental" coil produces images of sufficient diagnostic value to assess areas of interest in dentistry, and to compare MR images to traditional, dental-oriented radiographic images for diagnostic purposes.
Interventions
- Device MRI of teeth and surrounding structures
included above
Primary outcome measures
- Application of a dental-dedicated MRI in the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders, tissue alterations related to third molars, periapical and periodontal inflammatory diseases, and implant treatment planning [Time frame: 2½ years]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria (one of the following):
- referred for CBCT imaging of at least one tooth for endodontic reasons
- referred for intra-oral and/or panoramic imaging covering at least one molar tooth for periodontal reasons
- referred for CBCT imaging of the TMJ (bilaterally)
- referred for panoramic imaging of the third molar (retained/semi-retained, uni- or bilateral), prior to treatment planning
- referred for CBCT imaging prior to implant treatment
Exclusion criteria
- younger than 18 years
- unable to give consent
- pregnant
- pronounced claustrophobia
- pacemakers or implanted defibrillators
- metal shrapnel injuries of the eyes or MRI incompatible metallic inclusions or implants large tatoos
- non-removable piercings
