Biodental engineering II : proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Biodental Engineering, Biodental 2012, Porto, Portugal, 7-8 December 2012

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.
