Dear Colleagues in Dentistry,

In 1981, the first visiting professorship in our school’s long history was established by Jack R. Winston, DDS, Class of 1943. He created the professorship in cosmetic and restorative dentistry to demonstrate the significance of continuing education.

Because of Dr. Winston’s generosity, our 5th Annual Generations Dental Conference will feature a noteworthy continuing education program, scheduled for Friday, Sept. 16 in The Denton A. Cooley, MD and Ralph C. Cooley, DDS University Life Center. The program will feature the internationally renowned lecturer in esthetic dentistry Bud Mopper, DDS, MS, who will present “Catch the Composite Wave: and Surf its Potential!” Dr. Mopper will demonstrate ways to achieve consistently reliable results and will give participants the recipes for success for every restorative situation.

Don’t forget—after the Generations Dental Conference is the 2016 UTSD Alumni Round-Up Recognition Dinner. The dinner will also be held at the Cooley Center, and will start with a reception at 6:45 p.m. Please join us for a fun evening with old friends and fellow alumni of our school.

And finally, we are offering two new online continuing education courses: “Overview of Dental Diagnostic System” presented by Shawn S. Adibi, DDS, MEd, and “Smoking Cessation for the Dental Professional” presented by Deborah R. Franklin, DDS, MA, LPC. Both presenters are associate professors in the Department of General Practice and Dental Public Health at UTSD. These course modules will give you better insight as a practitioner when treating patients.

As always, we are dedicated to being your home for continuing education and hope to see you this September!

Sincerely,

John A. Valenza, DDS Dean William N. Finnegan III Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Dental Sciences The University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston

Course Description You face choices every day when providing dental assisting and dental hygiene care for your patients. Patients look to you for your expertise and recommendations to assist them in decision-making. Today’s Internet environment presents patients and providers with abundant sources of information – much of which is neither valid nor reliable. This course will model evidence-based methods to help practitioners sort through the masses of information presented to patients and cli-nicians on a daily basis. Learn how to navigate Internet sources chair-side so you can find relevant information to answer your questions. Bring your mobile devices (phones, tablets) and prepare to engage in exercises designed to provide hands-on experience with EBDM.

Course Description Social media includes a set of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0. Social media allows users to actively create and share content through open collaboration. Our patients are likely involved in the use of social media thereby providing us with the perfect opportunity to engage them through these communication channels. This session will discuss best practices for using social media. Bring your mobile devices (phones, tablets) and prepare to engage in exercises designed to provide hands-on experience.

Managing Risks in Today’s Dental Practice:Legally Analyzing Clinical Dentistry

Presented by: Boyd Shepherd, DDS, JD Laura Diamond, JD

Course DescriptionIn this full-day course for dental practitioners, we will discuss actual investigations and cases of alleged violations of the Texas Dental Practice Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners, which were prosecuted by the TSBDE. We will analyze the involved diagnosis and treatment planning of the clinical dentistry and review which risk-management protocols and procedures were implemented, if any, and the applicable Texas law. This course will cover the TSBDE acceptable “risk-management” course information to include record-keeping and esthetics. By the end of the course, the participants will have a better understanding of clinical approaches that are acceptable.

Course ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this course you will understand how to:

• Review clinical dentistry in cases, including record-keeping, which ultimately led to TSBDE investigation

• Value ethical approaches to clinical dentistry in your own practice• Review and implement the risk-management procedures and protocols that will prevent

patient complaints to the TSBDE• Review the applicable provisions of the Texas Dental Practice Act and the Rules and • Regulations of the TSBDE that most often result in patient complaints to the board.
