Current Studies

Endodontics

Our research uses MRI imagery to diagnose tooth pain and root canal treatment and other procedures relating to the interior of the tooth. Learn more at the REDCap page.

Orthodontics

Our research uses MRI imagery to diagnose, prevent, manage, and correct mal-positioned teeth and jaws. Learn more at the REDCap page.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ)

Our research uses MRI imagery to study the muscles that move the jaw and joints that connect to the skull. Learn more at the REDCap page.
