Magnetinio rezonanso panaudojimas endodontijoje: literatūros apžvalga ir klinikinės rekomendacijos

Abstract

Objectives: To review the current literature on the applications, limitations, and, clinical recommendations for the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in endodontics. Search Methods and Strategy: A literature search was performed in Medline (Pub Med), Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases from 2000 to December 2019 for studies evaluating the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) applications and limitations in the various aspects of Endodontics. The search strategy was limited in English language publications using the following terms in the search strategy: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, dentistry, endodontic diagnosis, periapical lesion, radiographic. The level of the studies was assessed by one reviewer. Results: The search identified 9 publications that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Two articles were hand-searched in the International Endodontic Journal. The analysis demonstrated that MRI can provide a well-defined image of the hard tissue such as the dentin and enamel, also to recognize and display an image of the soft tissues like the pulp as well as dental pathologies. The literature revealed that advancements in MRI techniques allow the differentiation of cystic and periapical lesions. Newer MRI coils and systems of dental sequencing made the use of MRI more feasible in clinical practice. Conclusion: This systemic review concluded that MRI could be used as an alternative or in conjunction with conventional radiographs or CBCT in the future endodontic. The newer techniques of MRI that have a faster scanning time and advanced coil systems make it feasible for clinical use.

Tikslas: Apžvelgti literatūrą apie magnetinio rezonanso tomografijos taikymą, apribojimus ir klinikinių rekomendacijų taikymą endodontijoje.
