Abstract
Introduction:
High-resolution pictures of soft tissue may be obtained using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Sophisticated chemical and physical data may be gathered using this spectroscopic approach, which depends on the magnetic resonance principle as its base.
Aim:
The purpose of this article was to provide a short overview of MRI, different contrast agents in MRI, its use in oral medicine, its contraindications, and the most recent MRI discoveries and artifacts related to MRI.
Methods:
An online search was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to locate articles that dealt with MRI, oral medicine, recent advancements, dental applications, and contrast agents. The search was limited to studies that were published before March 2022.
Results:
A total of 31 articles were included and analyzed for this review.
Conclusion:
MRI is more sensitive than other imaging modalities in the diagnosis of soft tissue in the head-and-neck area; the use of three-dimensional imaging will expand further advancements in this imaging modality.
