MR Images Variation With or Without Denture Wear

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Interventions
Device: denture wear.
Registration Number
NCT03018158
Lead Sponsor
Nihon University
Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to compare level of artifact while tongue at rest and in motion of dentulous subjects.

Detailed Description

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful to diagnose soft tissue morphology, especially to detect cancer and disk displacement with temporomandibular disorders. The prevalence of tongue cancer may increase with ageing population. A clear MR image is indispensable for clinical diagnosis. However, tongue motion associated with the habitual or swallowing tongue movement may cause artifacts on MRI. This occurrence of motion artifact is speculated to be prominent with the patients without the occlusal support. The objective of this pilot study was to compare level of artifact while tongue at rest and in motion of dentulous subjects.
