Frequently working as lecturer for dental technicians on behalf of VieSID and other institutions.
Occlusion Medicine in Laboratory Teamwork Modern dentistry is dedicated on long-lasting preservation of the teeth, with due regard being given the factors function and aesthetics. The significance of chewing as a primary function has more and more been complemented by various other functions. Speech, facial aesthetics or posture have gained in importance.
Both for the dental technician and for the dentist it is necessary to find a generally valid concept which is suitable for daily work and applicable for all areas of modern dentistry, as e.g. implantology, prosthetics and orthodontics.
Besides a well working cooperation team consisting of dentist and dental technician, there are additionally other important partners forming part of the interdisciplinary team, e.g. orthopaedists, physiotherapists, psychiatrists, osteopaths, speech therapists, radiologists, and others.For the successful implementation of a result-oriented concept a close cooperation between dentist and dental technician on equal level is an essential precondition.
Therefore it is absolutely necessary that the partners, both in dental office and in the dental laboratory, have the best possible qualification.
The aim of this course - especially designed for dental technicians and with a parallel running curriculum for dentists – is the creation of one common level of knowledge for all members of the entire interdisciplinary team.
The concept of the Vienna School of Interdisciplinary Dentistry
The concept of the Vienna School of Interdisciplinary Dentistry
Standardised procedures and the regular application of the concept guarantee a sort of control mechanism which allows the immediate identification and avoidance of any source of errors. The standardisation of working steps provides the dental technician team with a valuable tool supporting them in their professional work on the one hand and gives useful information for the diagnosis of possible dysfunctions of the masticatory organ.
The concept of the Vienna School (Occlusion Concept) follows at a maximum and in the best possible way the individuality of the human masticatoryorgan. This individuality has to be taken into account in each course of treatment, respectively in the practical implementation in the dental laboratory. Therefore it is obligatory to make a detailed standardized functional analysis in advance of each diagnosis and each medical treatment.
Craniomandibular dysfunctions often show a wide range of different symptoms and problems and can also strongly affect other body parts.
The interdisciplinary method, as developed by Prof. Dr. Rudolf Slavicek in the Vienna School of Interdisciplinary Dentistry, is aimed at the general improvement of the health status and physical condition of the patient.
The special curriculum for dental technicians
The special curriculum for dental technicians
Prof. Slavicek and his experienced team of dental technicians designed this special course for dental technicians and adjusted the contents to their special needs. Many of the diagnostic and therapeutic steps in a function-oriented dental office require special preparatory work done by the dental laboratory. A main focus of this course is the specialisation of the dental laboratory in these important working steps.
In 3 modules the students receive an advanced and profound education covering various aspects of functions and dysfunctions of the craniofacial and masticatory
system, including manual competence and confidence in the various possible measures related to the work in the dental laboratory.
The complete presentation of the functional wax-up techniques of occlusion of the different variations – class I, class II, class III and cross bite – is another important issue of the curriculum.
Biomechanical principles are part of the subjects taught,but also the realization of aesthetic aspects will be covered in a practice-oriented manner.
The course is designed with a strong focus on 'hands-on' lessons for transferring the theory into practice. Thus theory and practice are in a well-balanced relation and will provide the participants with skills and reasonable treatment concepts which can easily be implemented in the daily work. Supported by a team of lecturers at the forefront of their fields, the participants will work out all necessary steps of diagnostic work-up, documentation and case planning for a number of selected patients cases.The complete presentation of the functional wax-up techniques of occlusion of the different variations – class I, class II, class III and cross bite – is another important issue of the curriculum.
Biomechanical principles are part of the subjects taught,but also the realization of aesthetic aspects will be covered in a practice-oriented manner.
The VieSID Basic Course is designed in particular for dental technicians who look for a well founded introduction into the principles and the doctrine of Professor Slavicek's Vienna School of Interdisciplinary Dentistry.
