Learning outcomes
|
The goal of the subject is explanation of biophysical principles in physiological processes of human body (molecular biophysics, biophysics of cell and tissues), its function (biophysics of perception, organ biophysics) and its interaction with external environment. In the following there will be explained the essentials of biostatistics, basic physical properties of liquids, solids and mainly dental materials. The students will acquire basic physical principles of laboratory methods in dentistry, some diagnostic and therapeutic methods. A part of the practical training course is a computer work, when the students are familiarized with application software used in medicine.
The students will be able to understand biophysical processes in human body and will be able to work with basic medical instrumental technique.
