Chemistry of dental materials - Lectures

Author: Marek Stupák, Katarína Dubayová, Beáta Hubková, Jana Mašlanková, Lukáš Smolko

annotation image

The subject Chemistry of Dental Materials includes selected chapters from general, inorganic, and physical chemistry. Teaching focuses mainly on introduction to the study of the chemical properties of materials routinely used in dentistry. The lectures are focused on selected parts of the study of metals, including noble metals and their alloys. Furthermore, attention is focused on ceramic materials, on dental cements, as well as on polymerization and substances resulting from polymerization and used in dentistry for both restorative and prosthetic purposes. Information about dental materials, auxiliary dental materials, as well as the importance of polymerization in dentistry is crucial for future dentists.

Chemistry of Dental Materials – Instructions and protocols for practical exercises

Author: Beáta Hubková, Jana Mašlanková, Lukáš Smolko, Marek Stupák

annotation image

Practical exercises from Chemistry of Dental Materials is a set of experimental exercises designed for a better understanding of the subject. Practical experimental tasks enable students to become familiar with the basic chemical calculation and with chemical properties of materials commonly used in dentistry. They contribute to a better understanding of the properties of e.g., hydroxyapatite, metal corrosion and other properties of elements contained in dental materials. Separate attention is paid to dental plaster – its preparation and properties. Laboratory manuals for the practical exercises are arranged into weeks according to the syllabus and contain theoretical introduction as well as experimental procedures for each exercise.

Clinical Biochemistry - Selected chapters, e-book

Author: Eva Ďurovcová, Mária Mareková

annotation image

The electronic textbook "Clinical Biochemistry - Selected Chapters" aims to be a practical resource for senior medical students and new doctors studying laboratory medicine. It is designed to help them understand commonly used clinical-biochemical tests and serves as a starting point for a deeper exploration of laboratory methods and their application in diagnostic and monitoring procedures. In addition to an introductory chapter, the textbook contains 13 chapters focusing on disorders of water-ion and acid-base balance, biochemical diagnosis of various organ-related diseases (kidneys, liver, heart, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands), as well as common conditions like diabetes and dyslipidemia. It also covers topics, such as inflammation, oncological diseases, and iron and heme metabolism. The second edition of the textbook has been updated to reflect current changes in professional recommendations and to be more understandable for users.

Clinical biochemistry - Lectures

Author: Eva Ďurovcová

annotation image

The Clinical Biochemistry subject in the 5th year of medical studies builds on the knowledge acquired in Medical Biochemistry during the 2nd year. It involves applying biochemistry and pathobiochemistry to laboratory findings interpretation. The subject covers biochemical investigation methods for diseases of selected organs through lectures and seminars. It places particular emphasis on water, ion, and acid-base balance disorders, as well as prevalent conditions like diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. Practical training in interpreting laboratory findings integrates patient case studies and model patients.

Medical Chemistry – “hand book” for students of General and Dental Medicine

Author: Marek Stupák, Lukáš Smolko, Peter Urban, Jana Mašlanková, Beáta Hubková, Beáta Čižmárová, Anna Birková, Vladimíra Tomečková, Miroslava Rabajdová, Katarína Dubayová, Mária Mareková

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.

Medical Chemistry - Calculations

Proper administration of individual medications and reagents is of the upmost importance in the clinical practice of future doctors. It can be affected by age, body weight, kidney and liver health, and other health conditions. Subject Medical Chemistry is therefore an essential part of the theoretical education at medical faculties. The basics for the successful completion of the course are also basic chemistry calculations including solution preparation, stoichiometric calculations, pH calculations (including buffers) and spectrophotometric calculations. In addition to brief theoretical introductions, the material also contains a series of examples for practice, in order to help students in repeating and preparing for the exam from Medical Chemistry.
