This publication is intended mainly for students of medicine studying at the UPJŠ in Košice, Faculty of Medicine. The textbook covers the basic knowledge of selected topics of general, physical, inorganic, organic and bioorganic chemistry required for successful completion of the course of Medical Chemistry. Knowledge of the structures and functions of chemical substances and compounds, as well as their interactions and factors of surroundings influencing those interactions is very important for next study medical biochemistry incoming physicians. For better and easier understanding is the text appropriately supplemented with figures, tables, and numerous of chemical schemes. The separate part of this publication presents the chemistry of the most important dental materials used in clinical practise of future dentists, including the properties of metals, polymers and impression materials.
The authors are pleased to present the first edition of Medical Chemistry – “hand book” for students of General and Dental Medicine. The publication provides a useful and concise textbook relevant to study Medical Chemistry.
The chapters from Medical Chemistry – “hand book” for students of General and Dental Medicine represent the basis for the further study of Medical Biochemistry, Patobiochemistry, Patophysiology, Clinical Biochemistry, and many others specialized subjects of the medical studies.
The authors of the publication tried to minimize the mistakes and ambiguities in the text. However, some errors may have escaped of their attention. Thus, the authors will be grateful for any comments that could help to further improve of the text.
