PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of dental abnormalities in children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 16 patients (mean age, 10.8 yr) prospectively selected from 1,500 orthodontic patients. The selected patients included 3 with a mesiodens, 9 with supernumerary teeth other than a mesiodens, 1 with gemination, 1 with dilacerations, 1 with transmigration, and 1 with transposition. Three-dimensional (3D) images were acquired on a 1.5-T MRI scanner using a 3D turbo spin echo pulse sequence with a voxel size of 0.8 × 0.8 × 1 mm. The measurement time was 4 to 5 minutes.
RESULTS: Using natural MRI contrast, the teeth, dental pulp, mandibular canal, and cortical bone could be clearly delineated. The position and shape of malformed teeth could be assessed in all 3 spatial dimensions.
CONCLUSION: MRI was found to be a well-tolerated imaging modality for the diagnosis of dental abnormalities in children and for orthodontic treatment and surgical planning. Compared with conventional radiography, dental MRI provides the advantage of 3-dimensionality and complete elimination of ionizing radiation, which is particularly relevant for repeated examinations in children.
