Objective. This study compared tooth length measurements made on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and 3-Tesla (3T) magnetic resonance (MR) scans performed with and without an alginate bite registration surrounding the crowns of the teeth. Materials and Methods. One CBCT scan, one MR scan with alginate bite registration, and one MR scan without bite registration were performed on 12 subjects. The alginate bite registration was used to provide a proton-rich material to surround proton-poor teeth in an attempt to improve visualization of teeth. DICOM formatted images from each of the three scans for each subject were oriented in all …
