FDA-Cleared Dental-Dedicated MRI from Dentsply Sirona and Siemens Healthineers Opens Radiation-Free Soft Tissue Diagnostics for Dental Clinics
SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 04, 2026 - Radiation-free soft tissue imaging is now clinically validated and FDA-cleared for in-clinic dental diagnostics, shifting the diagnostic standard beyond cone-beam CT and X-ray for periodontitis, TMJ disorders, endodontics, and orthodontics assessment. The MAGNETOM Free.Max Dental Edition, developed by Dentsply Sirona in partnership with Siemens Healthineers, is the world's first dental-dedicated MRI (ddMRI) system, and its clearance marks a structural change in what diagnostic workflows dental practices can deploy independently - without referral to external radiology centers.
