How much organic chemistry is involved in Dental School? I know there is biochemistry but is there classes like bioOrganic chemistry?

And biochem itself is extremely limited at some schools. The biochem section on NBDE I isn't really biochem as you probably learned it in undergrad. It's more like phsyiology-based biochem.

To me it was just plain physiology.

I don't think this counts as USING orgo, but we did have to have a cursory knowledge of free radicals for dental materials.

Not sure about the classes now, but when i was taking pharmacology in dental school, about 0.001% was dedicated to ochem.

yeah, but that's just to remember for the test and forget all about once it's over.
