Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Howdy folks, I've been 'hiding in the bushes' for awhile, finding many of the posts helpfull. I have a bit of a question )if I may) - not sure if it qualifies as Medical or Physics. I have been in supposed 'remission' for a few years now, but still get MRI done every 2 yrs (to make sure whats left of my brain is still there-and other changes) - I had a root canal done on one of my teeth in April this year, & was told a metal post was installed in the 'canaled' tooth. It did not occur to me @ the time, but I have begun wondering if this might interfere with any MRIs in the future. I am curious if anyone here 'in the 'hood' may have any ideas in this regard. I am not scheduled for my next MRI yet, + I am to see my dentist in the near future, so I will have a chance to ask the dentist exactly what metal(s) the dental post is composed of - of course I will also need to ask the MRI Tech about dental post as well. Thnx in advance for any ideas\thoughts. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Mike, I do not have a " FOR CERTAIN " answer, but I will tell you that I just had an MRI about 10 days ago and I have a couple of root canals like that. They did not even ask me about it, so I would say it is not a problem. However, you really need to check with someone in that field. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I have had several root canals, Also I have had a titian plate place in my neck when I had cervical fusion. I have had so many MRI's in the last few years I have lost count. I think it is according to what type of metal is used. You probably will need to call and ask your dentist what type of metal where you can let them know the next time you have an mri.
