A novel approach for gingiva thickness measurements around lower anterior teeth by means of dental magnetic resonance imaging

ConclusionDental MRI successfully visualizes delicate structures like the gingiva in the anterior mandible and achieves a high correlation with superimposed CBCT scans, with clinically acceptable deviations.Clinical relevanceThe present study helps to establish dental MRI as a radiation-free alternative to conventional radiographic methods.
