Abstract: Objective: To compare the MRI artifacts of four different dental metal materials, providing clinical evidence for prosthodontic doctors. Methods: Full crowns of Co-Cr alloy, pure titanium, silver palladium, and gold palladium were made according to a standard model.Full crown of zirconium dioxide was taken as control. All crowns were embedded in a 13cm × 25cm×10 cm (length x width x height) plastic container filled with distilled water.Artifacts were compared on the T2-weighted images in 1.5 T spin echo sequences. Results: Different materials showed different artifacts in the same spin echo sequence.Artifacts of Co-Cr alloy, pure titanium, silver palladium crownswere (450±665), (343±322), (141±141) respectively. There were significant differences between them (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between gold palladium group and zirconium dioxide group. Conclusion: MRI artifacts of the four materials in descending order were as follows: Co-Cr>pure titanium>silver palladium>gold palladium.
