Overview

Pilot study evaluates imaging techniques for periodontal disease, highlighting dMRI's potential benefits.

Key Points

  • To assess the reliability of multi-contrast dental MRI compared to cone-beam computed tomography for evaluating periodontal lesions.
  • Prospective study with 19 patients having severe periodontitis stages III and IV.
  • Patients underwent clinical examination, CBCT, and 3T dMRI for periodontal assessment.
  • Site-level and tooth-level lesion evaluations were conducted using various imaging modalities and statistical analyses.
  • Reliability of dMRI matched CBCT with site-level κ = 0.631–0.771 and tooth-level ICC = 0.832–0.973.
  • T2W MRI identified most lesions significantly correlating with clinical indicators like BOP (p < 0.05) and PPD (p < 0.001).
  • dMRI showed higher sensitivity than CBCT for detecting lesions and quantifying bone loss.
