First-ever Dental Dedicated MRI Validated in Clinical Trial and Cleared by FDA for Advanced Soft Tissue Diagnostics

Dentsply Sirona and Siemens Healthineers are pleased to announce that the first ever dental dedicated MRI[1] (ddMRI) system – MAGNETOM Free.Max Dental Edition – has received FDA clearance in the United States. This milestone follows the completion of a clinical trial[2] validating the system’s significant potential across multiple dental specialties. The trial highlighted this first of its kind technology’s applicability in endodontics, periodontics, TMJ, tooth extraction, and orthodontics, offering non ionizing imaging capabilities that can enhance diagnosis and treatment planning. Clinical highlights from the trial demonstrated MAGNETOM Free.Max Dental Edition’s ability to differentiate active inflammation from healthy and scar tissue, enable non-invasive assessment of tooth pulp vitality to support chairside testing and observations and enables the visualization of teeth and their position in relation to neighboring teeth as well as the nerves.
