Abstract

On account of the dentistry mainly deals with hard tissues such as teeth and bones, CBCT and CT are common imaging modality in clinics. Recently, insurance coverage of MRI has been extended to head and neck region. In addition, unlike CBCT or CT, ionizing radiation is not used, the demand for MRI is gradually increasing in dentistry. Even though, many dentists still think that MRI is a difficult diagnostic tool and they are not confident when to use it. Therefore, the objective of this manuscript is to help the dental clinicians to access easily on MRI by introducing the overview, application and precautions of this imaging tool.
