QUISPE HUARCAYA, Magaly; SOVERO GASPAR, Abell y GUTIERREZ VENTURA, Fredy. Floor of mouth anatomical assessment by magnetic resonance. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.4, pp.309-317. ISSN 1019-4355.
To recognize anatomical structures mouth floor by magnetic resonance imaging is one of the most sensitive regions of the oral cavity, constituted only by soft tissues, many vascular and nervous secretory lacks bony anatomic landmarks being susceptible to diseases to be diagnosed by the dentist. It considers MRI study of choice for soft tissue because it allows to know the anatomy, boundaries and content present on the floor of mouth; however its use is optimal when required to assess the articular disc. We conducted a literature review using search in databases and Internet. MRI is useful because it prevents ionizing radiation, can be applied in most cases unless there are ferromagnetic elements. This technique is suitable for the study of the anatomy of the floor of the mouth, although there is some difficulty in interpretation is considered by radiologists as the diagnostic test of the future.
