Chemical Basics of Dental Materials

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2023-2024

Topic

The course deals with the deepening of the acquired chemical knowledge, with a detailed discussion of issues of outstanding importance for dental materials science. Our goal is to develop a good and stable basic chemistry knowledge relevant to clinical subjects and dental training.
