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.

Eligibility

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

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
