VieSID Colombia

VieSID Colombia is a representative of the Vienna School of Interdisciplinary Dentistry (VieSID) in Austria, also known as The Slavicek Foundation.

Since it's inception in 2016, VieSID Colombia brings to the American continent the concept of Prof. Rudolf Slavicek on Functional Occlusion.

Introducing a revolutionary way of diagnosis and a logical concept on Dynamic Functional Occlusion.

Demistifying TemporoMandibular Dysfunction (TMD), resulting in realistic treatment.

Orthodontics or Prosthodontics (or both together) are invaluable to treat these patients.

Our Education Program is the same as in the VieSID headquarters in Vienna.
The students, upon completion of the courses, will receive the official diploma from VieSID®, presented in Vienna and Colombia.
Moreover, after completion of the Basic Curriculum course, the students have the oportunity to access any advanced course in Vienna.


Occlusion and Function

It is often discussed whether occlusion is really so important after all, and whether there is a documented proof of a causal relationship between occlusion and dysfunction or TMD. If we define occlusion merely in terms of static intercuspation, these questions may be appropriate. However, if we regard the masticatory organ as an integral functional element in the human organism, then the importance of occlusion becomes evident.
The masticatory organ is not defined by static occlusion, but rather by dynamic functions, in relationship with other structures on hand.


The modern human has undergone several changes over the centuries. We live longer, and changes in nutritional habits have shifted the formerly primary function of just chewing to the background.
Other factors have also become considerably more significant. These include verbal expression, facial aesthetics, changes in posture, and even the actions of clenching and bruxing, brought on by ever increasing modern stress. This has been emphatically confirmed by the latest scientific studies.



Interdisciplinary Approach to Dentistry

The rapid developments in dental technical materials and the completely different methods of implementation present a considerable challenge to the adaptation mechanisms of the cranio-mandibular system, making strategic case planning especially important.




Dental medicine as a whole is under consistent progressive development. Due to rapid medical advancements, new research results, new technological facilities as well as the increasing link between systemic disease and oral disorders, it is more than before necessary to build up a close cooperation with other medical fields.




Scientific thinking and the knowledge of the context of evidence-based medicine is obligatory and needs to be seen in an interdisciplinary way. The dentist's ability to establish treatment based on evidence-based medicine becomes more and more important.
The continuously increasing interdisciplinary linking of individual medical fields requires a profound and comprehensive overall knowledge of the treatment possibilities and of the conceptual structure of the therapy.



The interdisciplinary approach, as developed by Professor Dr. Rudolf Slavicek in the Vienna School of Interdisciplinary Dentistry, emphases on improving the health-related quality of a patient's life by considering all aspects and interdisciplinary interconnections.


The Curriculum

The VieSID Curriculum provides not only scientific theoretical knowledge, but also many hands-on lessons as part of a comprehensive and outstanding program. Practical homework will complete this post-graduate curriculum.





In three modules the students receive advanced and detailed instruction in various aspects of functions and dysfunctions of the craniofacial and masticatory system, including manual competence and confidence in the various possible treatment measures.



The course participants will acquire the ability to critically evaluate and consider all aspects of the best available practices in dentistry and the latest technological developments.







The Curriculum is designed with a strong focus on practical lessons for transferring the theory into practice. Thus theory and practice are well-balanced and the participants will acquire skills and treatment concepts which can easily be implemented in their practice.
Supported by a team of lecturers at the forefront of their fields, every attendee will carry out diagnostic work-up, documentation and case planning for a number of their own patients’ cases.



The VieSID Curriculum is designed in particular for dentists, dental technicians and experts from related interdisciplinary professions who look for a well-founded introduction into the principles and the doctrine of Professor Slavicek's Vienna School of Interdisciplinary Dentistry.
