Dentsply Sirona, a dental equipment manufacturer, and Siemens Healthineers, a magnetic resonance imaging company, have teamed up to explore the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in dentistry. The project aims to broaden awareness of the advantages of MRI in oral diagnostics and advance the current state of dental care.

Researchers and leading scientists from North American and European universities, along with representatives from Dentsply Sirona and Siemens Healthineers, presented the current status of the joint research project at the “Scientific Symposium on ddMRI” in Bensheim, Germany. Participants also gained valuable insights into initial case studies.

ddMRI in Dentomaxillofacial Diagnostics

Associate Professor Rubens Spin-Neto, DDS, PhD, dr. odont., from Aarhus University, expressed his excitement about the possibilities of ddMRI in dentomaxillofacial diagnostics, saying, “Working with ddMRI has opened many new possibilities regarding how much can be achieved in dentomaxillofacial diagnostics. It adds value to the previously established imaging modalities and starts a new field of research for the coming years.”

New imaging techniques with greater sensitivity in detecting early stages of disease and inflammatory processes are gaining importance as there are increasing demands on dentists and physicians to combine oral and general health aspects. This potentially opens new interdisciplinary fields of research between oral and systemic health.

Max Milz, Group Vice President Digital Platforms & Solutions at Dentsply Sirona, said, “The possibility to use MRI for dentistry represents a new milestone in oral diagnostics and a connecting technology between oral and general health care that can make history.”

Arthur Kaindl, Head of Magnetic Resonance at Siemens Healthineers, added, “We look forward to working with the world’s leading dental educational institutions to break the boundaries of preventive and curative dentistry.”
