Biodental Engineering II

Dentistry is a branch of medicine with its own peculiarities and very diverse areas of action, which means that it can be considered as an interdisciplinary field. BIODENTAL ENGINEERING II contains the full papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Biodental Engineering (BioDENTAL 2012, Porto, Portugal, 7-8 December 2012). The contributions from 8 countries provide a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary coverage of the state-of-the-art in biodental engineering, and include the following subjects: • Aesthetics • Bioengineering • Biomaterials • Biomechanical disorders • Biomedical devices • Computational bio-imaging and visualization • Computational methods • Dental medicine • Experimental mechanics • Signal processing and analysis • Implantology • Minimally invasive devices and techniques • Orthodontics • Prosthesis and orthosis • Simulation • Software development • Telemedicine • Tissue engineering • Virtual reality BIODENTAL ENGINEERING II intends to cover recent advances in new techniques and technologies, and will be of interest to academics and others interested in biodental engineering.
