AIM: To evaluate whether high-resolution, non-contrast-enhanced dental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for accurate determination of palatal masticatory mucosa thickness (PMMT) and to locate the greater palatal artery (GPA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In five volunteers (four males, one female; mean age 30.2 ± 0.4 years), two independent raters measured PMMT by use of dental MRI in 180 positions. For comparison, clinical bone sounding was performed. The GPA was identified in time-of-flight (TOF) angiography and MSVAT-SPACE-prototype sequence. Intra- and inter-observer agreement for MRI measurements, agreement between MRI and bone sounding were analysed by intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cohen's kappa (κ). RESULTS: Reliability of dental MRI measurements was high (intra-observer-ICC 0.962; inter-observer ICC 0.959). Agreement of MRI measurements with bone sounding was moderate (ICC 0.744), and the GPA could be identified in 60% of measurement points using the TOF-angiography alone and in 85% with additional information of the MSVAT-SPACE. Good intra-observer agreement was observed for GPA identification (κ: 0.778). CONCLUSION: Palatal masticatory mucosa thickness measured by high-resolution, non-contrast enhanced dental MRI is comparable with that obtained by bone sounding. Dental MRI enables reliable, non-invasive and radiation-free planning of palatal tissue harvesting and can also be used for location of the GPA at 85% of measurement points, which might help reduce complications during surgery.
