Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Dentistry (programme LF, M-DENT)

Course objectives

The aim of the course is to practice the basic relationships of general and physical chemistry as well as the structures and properties of an-/organic compounds important in the follow-up subject of biochemistry.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- understand the basics of general, inorganic and organic chemistry in the scope necessary for further study of biochemistry.
- apply general physical and chemical laws to processes in living organisms.
- describe the properties of the major biogenic elements and compounds important in medicine, nutrition, and toxicology.
- understand the chemical properties of organic and bioorganic compounds.
- describe chemical properties of dental materials.

Syllabus

• Properties of particles, moles and molar quantities, composition of solutions, basic calculations.
• Electrolyte solutions, ion activity. Osmotic pressure, osmolarity.
• Acid-base balance. Buffers.
• Non-covalent interactions, adsorbents, surfactants. Poorly soluble salts.
• Reaction kinetics. Chemical equilibrium.
• Gibbs energy. Redox reaction, redox reactions in oral cavity.
• Organic compounds (properties of -OH, -SH, -NH₂, -CO-, -CHO groups in compounds).
• Properties and transformations of carboxylic acids and their derivatives.
• Latin names of compounds.
• Macromolecules in dentistry.
• Heterocyclic compounds, relationship to vitamins and cofactors.
• Properties and structure of carbohydrates.
• Properties and structure of amino acids and proteins.
• Properties and structure of lipids and steroids.

Literature

Teaching methods

Discussion, active practice.

Assessment methods

Credit. Conditions for giving the course-unit credit:
1) completion of all seminars and 2) completion of in-term tests.
Failure to meet the requirements of in-term tests requires a resit test, which may be repeated only once. All absences must be made up before a resit test.
Detailed conditions are published in Study materials posted under the course/Interactive Syllabus.

Language of instruction

English
