Conference special sessions
Bioengineering research applied to Dentistry - from nano to macro, from experimental to clinical
This special session is intended to attract researchers from academic institutions and dental practice conducting experimental and clinical dental research with engineering techniques and methods. Papers are invited concerning research from nano to macro level, and from experimental to clinical research/applications

Numerical models for bone tissue
Being a living material, bone tissue is under constant change, responding to external and internal stimulus. This natural microstructural changing process is known as bone tissue remodeling and it can be simulated using numerical approaches. The accurate prediction of the bone tissue trabecular architecture is one of the most studied topics in biomechanics.
This session focuses on the recent development and improvement of existent bone tissue remodeling algorithms/models as well as in the presentation of new numerical approaches and applications in the context of computational bone tissue biomechanics

Meshless methods in computational biomechanics
Over the past twenty years, meshless methods became one of the major interest focus in computational mechanics and, more recently, in computational biomechanics. Today, due to its highly geometric flexibility and the numeric stability, meshless techniques are being applied to simulate several complex biomechanical problems, such as the fluid flow, the fluid/solid interaction, the hyperelasticity of soft materials, the angiogenesis and the growth and remodeling process. Thus, this session aims to show the most recent advances in meshless methods in biomechanics.
