Force effect of MRI scanner on dental appliances and instruments.
Article in Oral radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aimed to measure magnetically induced displacement forces on metallic dental appliances and instruments in a 3 T MRI scanner and to examine its relationship with magnetic flux density.
methodsMagnetic flux density was measured along the gantry centreline, and both the spatial field gradient and the product of magnetic flux density and spatial field gradient were calculated. Displacement force measurements were conducted according to ASTM F2052-21. Tests were performed on a representative material along the gantry centreline and on 29 metallic dental materials-including fixed and removable dental appliances, and dental and medical instruments-at two positions outside the gantry entrance.
resultsDisplacement force increased rapidly near the scanner entrance, reflecting trends in spatial field gradient and the product of magnetic flux density and gradient, with a maximum observed between 0 and 5 cm inside the gantry entrance. At 25 cm outside the gantry, all tested single fixed and removable dental appliances exhibited displacement forces below 0.03 N. In contrast, nearly all stainless steel dental and medical instruments demonstrated deflection angles exceeding 90° at the same position.
conclusionsIn the MRI environment, dental appliances composed of stainless steel or iron that are not securely fixed in the patient's oral cavity are subject to magnetically induced displacement forces. Therefore, assessing intraoral fixation is essential before and after MRI. Additionally, most stainless steel dental and medical instruments, if inadvertently brought into the MRI environment, pose significant safety risks and must be strictly excluded.
