VIRED aims to enhance global dental training by using cutting edge technology

The scope of this endeavor is to use state-of-the-art, deep technology in order to optimize training results, while minimizing time cost, and risk.

Dr. Kleanthis Manolakis

Realizing the importance of continuing education and the advantages modern technology affords, Dr. Kleanthis Manolakis conceived and founded VIRED in 2019. His vision is to use Virtual Reality technology in order to provide the highest quality of dental training possible. The term “virtual”, first used in the computer sciences in 1959, is defined as “not physically existing but made to appear by software”. Today VR technology is widely employed in diverse areas such as medicine, engineering, psychology, education, entertainment, tourism, and the military.

Standard VR systems use VR specific headsets and/or multi-projected environments, thus generating realistic images, sounds and sensations that simulate a user’s physical presence in the virtual environmentThe user is able to visit a 3-dimensional, artificial worldwhich resembles reality. VIRED has selected ORamaVR as its technological partner for its VR dental training protocols. ORamaVR is an award winning deep technology company, that specializes in virtual reality innovations for medical and surgical hands-on training.

Dr. Kleanthis Manolakis, the founder of VIRED, is a dental surgeon with over three decades of clinical experience. He earned his Dental Medicine degree in 1989 from the Dental School of Freiburg University and his Doctorate Degree from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Freiburg, Germany. He also completed a two-year postdoctoral clinical training in Fixed Prosthodontics & Dental Materials at the University of Zurich, Switzerland.

His dental practice offices are located in Thessaloniki, Greece and over the years he has trained numerous dental school graduates, fellow dentists and practitioners. Over the past 10 years, along with his clinical practice, he has also been giving lectures all over the world, primarily on the subjects of dental implantology and guided implant surgery.

Dr. Manolakis is a founding member, and since 2012, Treasurer of the Hellenic Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry and currently also serves as the Country Chairman of Greece for the European Society of Cosmetic Dentistry.
