Biodental Engineering V

Dentistry is a branch of medicine with peculiarities and diverse areas of action, being commonly considered as an interdisciplinary area. The development, validation and clinical use of better and more advanced techniques and technologies has led to greater demand and more interest

Biodental Engineering V contains the full papers presented at the 5th 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.
