A member asked:
I am scheduled to have 2 mra's of head and neck, i have 5 metal dental posts supporting 5 zircona crowns, i am not sure what kind of metal,they are not implants, they go into tooth roots rather than bone. i am afraid they will pull out of my mouth?

You should discuss with both orthodontist and radiologist. It's not only for your safety but the MRA's images of your neck and head can be distorted due to metal material in your oral cavity.

First of all, do you mean MRI’s, rather than mra’s. From what you have described, I don’t think that you should be concerned. The MRI’s won’t dislodge the crowns.
