Does titanium implant affect magnetic resonance examination
With the progress of science and technology, people pay more and more attention to oral health. As an advanced dental restoration method, titanium implant has been favored by more and more patients. However, many people are concerned about whether it will affect the results of magnetic resonance imaging when choosing dental implant materials. This article will reveal the relationship between titanium implants and magnetic resonance.
Introduction to titanium implant teeth
Titanium implant is one of the most ideal dental restoration methods. It uses titanium material to make an artificial tooth root, and then connects the implant with the alveolar bone to achieve the purpose of fixing the tooth. Titanium metal has good biocompatibility, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, so it is considered to be the best material for dental restoration.
Second, magnetic resonance principle and influencing factors
Magnetic resonance examination (MRI) is a non-invasive examination method that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to image the internal structure of the human body. There are many factors that can affect the results of MRI examination, including human implants, iron objects, electronic devices, etc., which may interfere with the results of the examination.
Third, whether titanium implants will affect magnetic resonance examination
Experiments have shown that titanium implants do not have a significant impact on magnetic resonance imaging. This is because titanium metal materials are not magnetic and cannot be magnetized in the case of an external magnetic field. In addition, titanium implants are well compatible with the surrounding tissue, do not cause inflammatory reactions, and do not release any radioactive substances. Therefore, patients can rest assured that titanium implants can be used during magnetic resonance examinations.
Fourth, how to avoid potential risks
Although titanium implants do not significantly affect magnetic resonance imaging, to ensure safety, patients still need to inform their doctors before undergoing an MRI. In addition, patients should also pay attention to avoid wearing jewelry, clothing and other items containing iron parts in daily life, so as not to interfere with the examination results.
Titanium implant is an advanced dental restoration method, and its material itself will not affect the results of magnetic resonance examination. However, in order to ensure safety, patients still need to pay attention to avoid potential risks when undergoing MRI.
