Reperfusion of autotransplanted teeth—comparison of clinical measurements by means of dental magnetic resonance imaging

MR-Imaging of teeth and periodontal apparatus: an experimental study comparing high-resolution MRI with MDCT and CBCT

“…8 Relative deviation (in percentage; ± standard deviation) from real dimensions for the bor hole measurements for MRI, MDCT and CBCT mandible and the maxilla; MRI appeared to be especially useful to stage periodontitis [14], to differentiate a granulom from a cyst in patients with focal periapical lesions [12,13], or to quantify the root perfusion in autotransplated teeth [12,13,15]. These studies provide us important information about the potential applications of MRI in odontology.…”

“…teeth pulp pathologies, periapical lesions, inflammatory disease of the periodontal space, or teeth vascularisation after trauma [12][13][14][15]. On the other hand, MRI of the dental apparatus is technically challenging as the bony structures of the mandible and teeth give only little or no MR-signal.…”

High-resolution 3D magnetic resonance imaging and quantification of carious lesions and dental pulp in vivo

“…Previously, intravenous contrast agent administration was used to visualize the dental pulp [33] and to evaluate pulp vitality [34]. This method was also shown to be suitable for assessing reperfusion of autotransplanted teeth [35] and for monitoring pulp cavity signal intensity changes with age [36].…”

Magnetic resonance imaging in human teeth internal space visualization for requirements of dental prosthetics

“…Research results presented in the analysis point to the possibility of applying MRI for visualizing tooth structure at the level of in vitro analysis (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Research proceedings made it possible to compare the quality of representations of the inner tooth after treatment made using both classical methods (polymer mass impression) and non-impressional methods (MRI).…”

“…The obtained micro images (100 µm3) made it possible to visualize the pulp and root canals, cavities and tooth structure. During the following years there appeared publications presenting attempts at using magnetic resonance microscopy to determine the geometry of the tooth surface, root canals, the location of cavities, and to compare tooth structure of younger and older patients (7). The techniques used for this type of imaging are generally referred to as spin echo and gradient echo methods and they facilitate the imaging of soft tissue or a hydrated medium (1)(2)(3)(4)(5).…”
