VieSID Canada 2024 Mini-Residency – what did you miss?

The VieSID Canada 2024 Mini-Residency in Occlusal Medicine finished in June.  Our students were exceptional, and they successfully implemented the information learned over the 3, 5-day modules.  Everyone enjoyed the small student/teacher ratio and hands-on training in Occlusal Medicine.  Topics covered included history taking, occlusal index, neurologic assessment, muscle palpation, occlusograms, brux checkers, photography, accurate impressions and model diagnosis, anatomic and hinge axis facebows and mounting, reference position and bites, static and dynamic functional analysis, cephalometric assessment, MRI, functional waxups, digital diagnostics and integration into VieSID concepts and condylographic analysis.  These principles were applied to treatment planning with students presenting their own cases.  Occlusal medicine principles were then applied to therapy using splints, orthodontics, and prosthodontics.  Emphasis was placed on “how to” complete cases from simple to complex.

Our next VieSID Canada Mini-Residency Program is scheduled for 2025.  Stay tuned for further details.
