The aim of the course is to provide the basic knowledge of the chemistry of materials aimed at understanding the structure and properties of the different classes of materials. At the end of the course, the student has acquired the basic knowledge of the main classes of materials, their properties and applications. They are also able to understand the principles underlying the design, development and manufacture of latest generation products of interest in the dental field.
Course Prerequisites
Basic Mathematics and Physics
Teaching Methods
The course consists of lectures in the classroom and numerical exercises. Frontal lessons. Teaching is mainly conventional, with oral presentation, supported by slide projections and writing on the blackboard. The teacher illustrates the relevance of the topics by giving concrete examples of t heir application in the context of applications to materials of interest in the dental field. The aim of the lectures is to convey the notions of theory relevant to the topics discussed.Numerical exercises. The exercises are carried out in parallel with the lectures, at the end of a cycle of lessons with coherent contents. The purposes of the exercises are: - the practical application of the theoretical notions proposed (acquisition of practical skills) - stimulate the ability to analyze and identify a strategy aimed at solving the problem (acquisition of processing skills).
