Study 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.
