    Abstract Objectives: Maxillary sinus mucositis is frequently associated with odontogenic foci. Periapical inflammation of maxillary molars and premolars cannot be visualized directly using radiation-based imaging. The purpose of this study was to answer the following clinical question: among patients with periapical inflammatory processes in the maxilla, does the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as compared to conventional periapical (AP) and panoramic radiography (OPT), improve diagnostic accuracy?
    Methods: Forty-two subjects with generalized periodontitis were scanned on a 3 T MRI. Sixteen asymptomatic subjects with mucosal swelling of the maxillary sinus were enrolled in the study. Periapical edema was assessed using short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequence. Apical osteolysis and mucosal swelling were assessed by MRI, AP, and OPT imaging using the periapical index score (PAI). Comparisons between groups were performed with chi-squared tests with Yates' correction. Significance was set at p < 0.05.
    Results: Periapical lesions of maxillary premolars and molars were identified in 16 subjects, 21 sinuses, and 58 teeth. Bone edema and PAI scores were significantly higher using MRI as compared to OPT and AP (p < 0.05). Using the STIR sequence, a significant association of PAI score > 1 and the presence of mucosal swelling in the maxillary sinus was detected (p = 0.03).
    Conclusion: Periapical inflammation and maxillary mucositis could be visualized using STIR imaging. The use of MRI may help detect early, subtle inflammatory changes in the periapical tissues surrounding maxillary dentition. Early detection could guide diagnostic criteria, as well as treatment and prevention.

    Abstract Objectives: T2 STIR MRI sequences can detect preclinical changes associated with periodontal inflammation, i.e. intraosseous edema in the tooth-supporting bone. In this study, we assessed whether MRI can be used for monitoring periodontal disease.
    Material and methods: In a prospective cohort study, we examined 35 patients with periodontitis between 10/2018 and 04/2019 by using 3D isotropic T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery (STIR) and Fast Field Echo T1-weighted Black bone sequences. All patients received standardized clinical exams before and three months after non-surgical periodontal therapy. Bone marrow edema extent was quantified in the STIR sequence at 922 sites before and after treatment. Results were compared with standard clinical findings. Non-parametric statistical analysis was performed.
    Results: Non-surgical periodontal treatment caused significant improvement in mean probing depth (p < 0.001) and frequency of bleeding on probing (p < 0.001). The mean depth of osseous edema per site was reduced from a median [IQR] of 2 [1, 3] mm at baseline to 1 [0, 3] mm, (p < 0.001). Periodontal treatment reduced the frequency of sites with edema from 35 to 24% (p < 0.01).
    Conclusion: The decrease of periodontal bone marrow edema, as observed with T2 STIR MR imaging, is indicative of successful periodontal healing.
    Clinical relevance statement: T2 STIR hyperintense bone marrow edema in the periodontal bone decreases after treatment and can therefore be used to evaluate treatment success. Furthermore, MRI reveals new options to depict hidden aspects of periodontitis.
    Key points: • T2 STIR hyperintense periodontal intraosseous edema was prospectively investigated in 35 patients with periodontitis before and after treatment and compared to clinical outcomes. • The frequency of affected sites was reduced from 35 to 24% (p < 0.001), and mean edema depth was reduced from a median [IQR] of 2 [1, 3] mm at baseline to 1 [0, 3] mm 3 months after treatment. (p < 0.001). • T2 STIR sequences can be used to monitor the posttreatment course of periodontitis.

    Abstract Objectives: To detect and evaluate early signs of apical periodontitis using MRI based on a 3D short-tau-inversion-recovery (STIR) sequence compared to conventional panoramic radiography (OPT) and periapical radiographs in patients with apical periodontitis.
    Materials and methods: Patients with clinical evidence of periodontal disease were enrolled prospectively and received OPT as well as MRI of the viscerocranium including a 3D-STIR sequence. The MRI sequences were assessed for the occurrence and extent of bone changes associated with apical periodontitis including bone edema, periradicular cysts, and dental granulomas. OPTs and intraoral periapical radiographs, if available, were assessed for corresponding periapical radiolucencies using the periapical index (PAI).
    Results: In total, 232 teeth of 37 patients (mean age 62±13.9 years, 18 women) were assessed. In 69 cases reactive bone edema was detected on MRI with corresponding radiolucency according to OPT. In 105 cases edema was detected without corresponding radiolucency on OPT. The overall extent of edema measured on MRI was significantly larger compared to the radiolucency on OPT (mean: STIR 2.4±1.4 mm, dental radiograph 1.3±1.2 mm, OPT 0.8±1.1 mm, P=0.01). The overall PAI score was significantly higher on MRI compared to OPT (mean PAI: STIR 1.9±0.7, dental radiograph 1.3±0.5, OPT 1.2±0.7, P=0.02).
    Conclusion: Early detection and assessment of bone changes of apical periodontitis using MRI was feasible while the extent of bone edema measured on MRI exceeded the radiolucencies measured on OPT.
    Clinical relevance: In clinical routine, dental MRI might be useful for early detection and assessment of apical periodontitis before irreversible bone loss is detected on conventional panoramic and intraoral periapical radiographs.
