Dentistry is a branch of medicine with its own particularities and very different fields of action, and is generally regarded as an interdisciplinary field. The use of new technologies is currently the main driving force for the series of international conferences on Biodental Engineering (BIODENTAL).

BIODENTAL ENGINEERING V

International Conference on Biodental Engineering (BIODENTAL 2018, Porto, Portugal, 22-23 June 2018). The conference had two workshops, one of them dealing with computational imaging combined with finite element method, the other dealing with bone tissue remodelling models. Additionally, the conference had three special sessions and sixty contributed presentations.

The topics discussed in BIODENTAL ENGINEERING V include:

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

The purpose of the series of BIODENTAL Conferences on Biodental Engineering, initiated in 2009, is to perpetuate knowledge on bioengineering applied to dentistry, by promoting a comprehensive forum for discussion on recent advances in related fields in order to identify potential collaboration between researchers and end-users from different sciences.
