Module name: Dental materials
Module code: IM2A_MS
Programme code: 08-S2MAL16.2017
Semester: winter semester 2018/2019
Language of instruction: Polish
Form of verification: exam
ECTS credits: 2
Description:
The module Dental materials shall enable that students are knowledgeable about physio-chemical properties of dental materials and ways of their preparation to dental applications. Owing to that students shall achieve understanding of correlations between those materials properties and their biocompatibility and also shall acquire the skill of materials selection for individual dental applications. The acquisition of this knowledge and skills shall result in preparing the student to design new materials for dental applications.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the modules: physics, chemistry, crystallography, materials testing methods and rudiments of the materials science.
