Findings of the First TMJ Bioengineering Conference
The first TMJ Bioengineering Conference was held in 2006, and the enormous success was the impetus for the organization of a second conference in 2009. To find out what you missed at the first conference, see Detamore MS, Mao JJ, Athanasiou KA, "A call to action for bioengineers and dental professionals: directives for the future of TMJ bioengineering," Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 35 (8): 1301-1311, 2007.
Conference OverviewThe meeting will provide a unique opportunity for bioengineers, clinicians and scientists to discuss the challenges presented by temporomandibular joint disorders, and to devise strategies to address those challenges. Register today! Conference ObjectivesThe overall meeting objective is to organize a scientific conference exclusively dedicated to the TMJ, and to advance the field of TMJ research and strengthen the continuity among clinicians, scientists and bioengineers in this pursuit. | |
