Siemens Healthineers and Dentsply Sirona, a global leader in dental technology, introduced the world’s first dental-dedicated MR scanner, MAGNETOM Free.Max Dental Edition, at the European Congress of DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology in Freiburg, Germany.
The system, which uses Dry Cool technology and requires only 0.7 liters of liquid helium over the lifetime of the device, could enhance oral diagnostics by providing detailed soft tissue contrast, and is designed to complement existing imaging modalities like X-rays and cone beam CT scans. By providing superior soft tissue visualization, it may aid in early detection of oral diseases and improve treatment planning. Initial clinical trials have demonstrated the system’s potential in various dental applications, including third molar extraction, endodontics, temporomandibular disorders, periodontitis, and orthodontics.
