Can a person keep his dentures (fixed) on while going for mri (magnetic resonance imaging)?

Yes: A fixed denture refers to a permanently cemented bridge which is solidly attached to a tooth or teeth. Ferrous metals which can be attracted to a magnet are not used in dentistry so it should not be an issue in any case. The big concern is small slivers of ferrous metal embedded in soft tissue (think slivers from metal work) that pose a risk because they can become shrapnel in an MRI machine.

Yes: If your denture contains no metals, there should not be a problem. Ferromagnetic items pose problems for mris. A full denture does not normally have metal within it. Some full dentures have metal re-enforcement and should be removed. Most partial dentures also have metal clasps or frameworks and should be removed. All metals can distort MRI images and should be removed.

Maybe: If you have fixed teeth on imlants -- yes you can. If you have dentures held in with paste you can. If you have any type of metal in the teeth which is subject to magnetic pull, then you cannot. Need to find out what you have. Check with your dentist and the imaging center.

Yes : Provided there is no metal in your denture you are ok to take a mri.
