Exploration of the Utility of Dental-dedicated MRI for Dentistry

Description

This description observational research is comparative in design, that is comparing existing standard clinical dental images, not obtained in this study, to test (i.e., ddMRI) images. The standard clinical dental images consist of radiographs, such as bitewings, periapical, panoramic, cone-beam CT, and medical CT, as well medical MRIs of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ).The conceptualization of research questions, study designing, and interpretation of imaging data has and will involve content expertise in all ddMRI research.

Conditions

Dental Crowding, Dental Occlusion, Traumatic, Dental Pain, TMD/Orofacial Pain, TMD, Orthodontics, Endodontic Disease, Orthodontic Treatment
