AID (Academy of Interdisciplinary Dentistry) is a scientific organization dedicated to the dissemination of scientific knowledge and the advancement of clinical expertise and practical skills across the full spectrum of modern dentistry.

The AID faculty consists of experienced clinicians and academics whose primary mission is to share their expertise within their respective fields while fostering scientific dialogue and the exchange of ideas. Through constructive discussion and interdisciplinary collaboration, AID aims to promote continuous learning and contribute to the improvement of the quality of dental care provided by all participants.

In addition to its digital platform, where educational content and scientific updates are regularly published, AID organizes theoretical courses, clinical masterclasses, and hands-on workshops covering a wide range of dental disciplines. Particular emphasis is placed on occlusion, the physiology and pathology of the stomatognathic system, conventional and digital prosthetic workflows for tooth- and implant-supported restorations, as well as contemporary digital treatment concepts, including the development and application of the Digital Patient.

To provide comprehensive education at both theoretical and clinical levels, AID has developed a structured continuing education framework based on sequential theoretical and practical modules. Participants have the opportunity to follow complete educational pathways through a series of seminars, progressively expanding their knowledge, refining their clinical skills, and gaining advanced expertise in each specialized field covered by the curriculum.
