Abstract

Aim: -The purpose of this study is to assess the precision of dental MRI in implant surgical planning. Materials and method- In this prospective investigation, patients in need of dental implants underwent implant planning and surgical guide production using a 0.4-mm isotropic, artifact-suppressed, 3T MRI protocol. During a later reference cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, surgical guides were inserted intraorally. Dental MRI and CBCT datasets were co-registered for each participant in order to calculate the angular and three-dimensional discrepancies between surgically guided and intended implant locations. Results:-Out of 45 study participants, 50 implants were designed and assessed. The entry point's mean three-dimensional deviation was 1.2 ± 0.5 mm, whereas the apex's was 1.4 ± 0.6 mm. The variance in angular mean was 2.4 ± 1.5°. For 30.00% of implant sites and 2% of all implant sites, CBCT-based MRI plan modifications were required for implant position and axis. Compared to the group with tooth gaps, the group with reduced dental arches had greater changes. Conclusion: According to this feasibility study, dental MRI is a dependable and precise enough method for producing surgical guides. However, before it is applied to implant planning outside of clinical trials, more research is required to improve its accuracy.
