The Application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Dentistry: A Bibliometric Analysis

MRI in dentistry has evolved from an emergent topic into a maturing, multidisciplinary field of increasing clinical importance. Its benefits, however, are realized only within properly shielded, well-governed MR facilities staffed by trained personnel; accordingly, widespread installation of scanners in stand-alone dental clinics remains unlikely. Safe and scalable adoption will depend on strengthened international collaboration and the accelerated, evidence-based translation of technology within hospital-based services where infrastructure and safety governance are already established.
