Does dental implant have any effect on MRI?

As we all know, the implant is to implant the artificial implant into the alveolar bone and act as the root of the tooth. After the implant is bonded with the alveolar bone, the dental crown will be put on it, and the implant will be inserted. However, given that the metal components in porcelain teeth have some effects on MRI and other examinations, do implants have an effect on MRI?

Experts point out that dental implants have no effect on MRI.

The material used for the implant is pure titanium, which is the best known metal with biocompatibility, and it is a non-magnetic metal and will not be magnetized in the magnetic field, so the implant itself has no effect on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The crown above the implant is likely to be affected by NMR examination. at present, there are two kinds of dental crown restoration materials: all-ceramic teeth and metal porcelain teeth. All-ceramic teeth do not contain metal components at all and have no effect on nuclear magnetic resonance examination, while metal ceramic teeth have different degrees of interference to nuclear magnetic resonance imaging due to different kinds of metals.

In detail, the porcelain metals commonly used in oral restoration are gold alloy, Ni-Cr alloy, Co-Cr alloy and so on. A large number of experimental data show that gold alloy precious metals only slightly interfere with the artifacts in magnetic resonance examination, while non-precious metals such as Ni-Cr alloy and Co-Cr alloy will produce large artifacts, which have a certain impact on nuclear magnetic resonance examination. Doctors suggest that people should properly choose denture restoration materials according to their own conditions: generally speaking, the preferred material is all-ceramic teeth, because this kind of material is beautiful and hardly brings adverse reactions such as allergies to the human body. it will not interfere with the diagnosis when doing MRI.

Thus it can be seen that as long as the selection of formal implant materials and all-ceramic crowns can avoid affecting nuclear magnetic resonance and other examinations, and there will not be too much damage to the human body. At the same time, experts remind you that only when you choose a formal dental hospital, the implant doctor's technology and dental implant materials and equipment will be guaranteed, and the effect of dental implant can achieve the expectations of patients.
