FREIBURG, Germany: A new field of research in dental diagnostics could further the integration of early detection of oral disease into routine dental examinations. Last year, Dentsply Sirona announced that it was working with Germany-based medical technology company Siemens Healthineers to develop dental-dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (ddMRI) technology for dento-maxillofacial diagnostics. On 12 June, the company presented a scale model of the MAGNETOM Free.Max Dental Edition to the press in the southern German city of Freiburg and hosted an expert-led ddMRI workshop that outlined the new possibilities presented by the technology.
