The subject Medical Chemistry includes selected chapters from general, inorganic, physical and organic chemistry, chemistry of elements and important dental compounds, introduction to biochemistry and methodologically very important – analytical chemistry. Teaching is placed to the 1st semester of the study at Medical Faculty of UPJŠ. The knowledge of the structure and function of chemical compounds and substances, as well as of the fundamental dental materials, e.g. amalgams, porcelains, polymers, etc. is very important for the dentist, since use them daily during the praxis. The chapters from Medical Chemistry represent the basis for the next study of Dental Materials, Medical Biochemistry, Pathobiochemistry, Pathophysiology, Clinical Biochemistry, and others principal subjects of dental medicine study.
