With the rapid translation of emerging material processing technologies for tooth restoration, there is an urgent need for reliable laboratory testing systems that accurately predict the clinical longevity of new materials. The current proposal aims to 1) develop a novel in-vitro wear testing model that demonstrates accurate preclinical predictability of longitudinal clinical trial data and 2) explore the suitability of modern 3D-printing processes for dental material application.

Fat/water separation (FWS) and the calculation of tissue fat fraction are crucial steps in various quantitative MRI techniques. However, with increasing magnetic field strength, FWS becomes more challenging due to the higher resonance frequency. The goal of this project is to improve FWS at 7 Tesla through a new measurement technique. A radial pulse sequence with quasi-continuous echo time sampling will be developed, and image artifacts will be reduced by using a dynamic field camera.
