Book, Basic and Oral Biochemistry 1/17[LS]

Based on scientific evidence and organized in a didactic and objective way, Basic and Oral Biochemistry offers excellent content for students and professionals in the field. With language accessible to the student and rich in schematic figures and practical examples from everyday professional life, this book addresses the structure and function of the main molecules that make up our organism, as well as the events involved in the construction and breakdown of these molecules. It also covers the composition and structure of mineralized tissues and their interaction with the oral environment (saliva and dental biofilm), in a detailed and complete manner, and is also very useful for healthcare professionals, especially dental surgeons. Other important topics discussed in the work include dental injuries, such as caries and erosion, which are addressed from a chemical and microscopic point of view, as well as the systemic and local effects of fluoride and antimicrobial agents.
