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

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Retained Tooth; Periodontal Inflammation; MRI; TMJ; Apical Periodontitis
• Interventions: Device: MRI of teeth and surrounding structures

• Registration Number: NCT05439330
• Lead Sponsor: University of Aarhus

Brief Summary

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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	2½ years	Diagnosis of pathologies in the TMJ (e.g. disc displacement (anterior/posterior/lateral), inflammation (yes/no), bone changes (yes/no)), periodontal defects (e.g. bone defects (mm), inflammation (yes/no)), periapical pathology (e.g. inflammation (yes/no), apical periodontitis (yes/no)), bone measurements in edentulous areas, and third molars (e.g. relation to surrounding structures (over/same level/under nerve), resorption of neighboring teeth (yes/no)) seen on MRI compared to diagnosis obtained in radiographs. Observations seen on MRI will be compared to observations seen in radiographs.
