VieSID was founded as a non-profit organisation by members of the Slavicek family as a logical consequence of the comprehensive work of Prof Rudolf Slavicek.

The long tradition of science and education in dentistry are closely linked to Vienna and associated in particular to Prof. Dr. Rudolf Slavicek. He is known as a pioneer and mastermind in interdisciplinary dentistry and is the founder of the concept called 'Vienna School of Interdisciplinary Dentistry'.

Prof. Dr. Rudolf Slavicek is an opinion leader in the field of functional diagnostics and interdisciplinary dentistry.

Since many years his work in scientific research and development has been focused on biomechanical relations and functional determinants of the masticatory organ.

His holistic functional therapy concept has increasingly gained acceptance.

His leading development work for e.g. functional diagnostic instruments has already had effects on many products.

Education has been and still is one of Prof. Dr. Rudolf Slavicek’s main objectives. He inspires his students with his outstanding knowledge, his enthusiasm and his love for solid didactics.

Many of his students are the young and dedicated experts of the future.
