Belinda Garcia
Dentists Who Care is a private, non-profit, charitable
organization created to help solve the problem of poor
oral health among children in the Rio Grande Valley.
The mission of DWC is to improve and enhance the
quality of life for low-income children in the Rio
Grande Valley of Texas through access to oral health
care. To accomplish this goal, the organization directs the
volunteer efforts of 130 Rio Grande Valley dentists who
each pledge to donate their services on board the Mobile
Dental Unit Clinic and/or donate their services through
Valley Smiles Coupons. Through the efforts of our
volunteer dentists and our local school nurses, over 20,000
students throughout the Rio Grande Valley have received
over $2 million in charitable care. This dental conference
is one of our primary means of obtaining revenues to
sustain the DWC programs.

“Keys to Success in Impression Taking and Fabricating Provisional Restorations”
8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Course Code F01*
F01
Course Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
1. Identify key material and technique factors involved in recording an ideal impression.
2. Identify materials and techniques for obtaining optimal tissue retraction and hemostasis.
3. Understand the importance of provisional restorations from a mechanical, biological and esthetic perspective.
4. Identify techniques for fabricating a provisional and trouble-shoot common problems.
Course Synopsis: Clinicians consider recording a final impression among the most stressful restorative procedures.
This presentation will discuss the key factors in consistently capturing perfect impressions. Topics will include
properties of impression materials, selection of the correct materials for the appropriate clinician situation as well as a
review of the most current tissue management options and techniques available today.
As the dental team focuses on recording an impression and the subsequent final restoration, the provisional is often
overlooked as being a critical step in restorative process. The provisional restoration should serve not only as a space
maintainer but as a diagnostic and evaluative tool for the dentist, patient and laboratory. This course will provide an
overview of new and current provisional materials and the evolution of the products and their delivery systems. Dr.
Conte will discuss the current problems associated with provisional fabrication and provide trouble-shooting techniques
to combat the frustration involved in the process.
This course will help develop the knowledge and confidence that will allow the dentist and auxiliary to record
impressions and fabricate durable, functional and esthetic provisional restorations consistently, quickly and easily!

natural looking restoration and ―beginning with the end in mind‖ the dentist can fabricate esthetic restorations simply,
easily and predictably. This course will review esthetic principles including smile design, tooth anatomy, and
morphology. Dr. Conte will discuss conservative tooth preparation and examine the role of adhesives and composites
in the restorative process while offering step-by-step instruction on anterior and posterior composite placement
techniques. Review of methods for ideal contact creation, optimized polymerization during light curing and fast and
easy finishing and polishing systems will provide the attendee with the latest techniques to maximize function and
esthetics and create long lasting restorations. Following a didactic review, participants will have an opportunity to
apply the techniques learned during a hands-on session.

Course Objectives
S05
Upon completion of this program the participant will be able to:
1. Understand the biologic steps involved in the fate of the buccal socket wall and how it can affect
treatment planning.

Course Synopsis
Since the inception of dental implant therapy in the 1970s, clinicians have attempted to reduce the time to
the final restoration by placing implants into fresh extraction sites. Over the years, surgical skills and
techniques have evolved and outcomes assessments have allowed us to reflect and improve upon our esthetic
goals. Most literature on immediate implant placement focuses on implant success and survival. However,
there is a growing body of literature focusing on pre-operative esthetic planning, adjunct esthetic techniques,
and esthetic outcomes in immediate implant procedures. This course will present a brief review of the latest
esthetic immediate implant literature, together with extensive clinical case presentations documenting
techniques applied daily in a private practice setting. Dental implant teams that strive for esthetic excellence
will learn about surgical and restorative strategies that can be implemented immediately into daily practice.
