Topic

The course is primarily designed to provide a comprehensive overview of general, inorganic, organic and biochemical knowledge for dental students starting in 2016. The course aims to shed light on the interrelationships between the subjects 'Chemistry for Dental Students', 'Introduction to Biochemistry for Dental Students' and 'Biochemistry for Dental Students'. The course aims to provide an opportunity for problem-based learning and exploration of interrelationships, not only for dental students. The course also covers the interrelationships between the integrated regulation of metabolism.
