Simultaneous imaging of hard and soft tissue is not yet possible with neither plane radiographs and cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging, nor magnetic resonance imaging due to inadequate soft tissue/hard tissue signal. Flat radiographs, which are in routine clinical use, have no diagnostic value for soft tissue pathologies. Although imaging focuses mainly on CBCT in the last decade, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, which are described as in vivo histological imaging, have been developed in the field of medical imaging. These techniques which are adapted for the visualization of anatomy and pathology in the field of oral and maxillofacial radiology, and optimum data are obtained through interdisciplinary studies. Currently, we observe that intraoral coil development studies, new sequences defined for hard tissue imaging, studies with devices using ultra-high magnetic fields have been brought into the literature. The next step in maxillofacial MRI seems to be the optimization of hard tissue imaging sequences and inraoral coils, and in vivo use of devices with ultra-high fields. However, we think that it takes a long time for this technology to enter the dental practice.
