2 The decade class representatives (Joseph Grillo, Chester Woodside, David Minahan, Thomas Jacka, Marty Anderson) took the opportunity to surprise the dean with a “check” for $399,000 from the Dental Alumni Association to help with the purchase of dental simulators for the new student laboratory. The Association is almost halfway to its goal of raising $1,000,000 for the new state-of-the-art teaching laboratory! Of course, no reunion is complete without the Football Homecoming Game. A record number of dentistry fans attended the Pre-game Brunch. The time of the game was changed to later in the afternoon so the brunch became a lunch but no one seemed to mind the extra sleep after the gala dinner event the night before. The event was held at the Center for Urban Horticulture, and a capacity crowd of 225 attended. Ross Drangsholt welcomed everyone and Dean Paul Robertson thanked the enthusiastic group for their support in making the weekend a success and also helping to make the University of Washington School of Dentistry one of the top dental schools in the nation. Good food was enjoyed by all, it was a crisp yet sunny fall day, and the UW had a 28-point explosion in the first half that sealed a big victory of 41-21 over the UCLA Bruins. ■

Alumni All-Classes Reunion Dinner

The Columbia Tower Club was the setting for the sixth annual All-Classes Reunion Dinner on Friday evening, July 12, 1996. One hundred alumni and guests excitedly reunited with old friends and classmates, all the while enjoying the stunning view from the 76th floor. Several alumni traveled from as far away as Southern California to meet with their Past and present Distinguished Alumni beam for the camera. classmates and reminisce over a good dinner.

Dr. Ross Drangsholt (’92), 1996-97 Dental Alumni Association President, thanked Dr. Marty Anderson (’65) for his productive year as President (and wished him a speedy recovery from his recent surgery.) Dr. Burns Guthrie (’58), Chair of the Distinguished Alumnus Committee, then introduced this year’s Distinguished Alumnus, Dr. Donald Davidson (’64). Dr. Davidson enthusiastically accepted his award and entertained the guests with tales of his political adventures (he was Mayor of Bellevue from 1994–96.) ■

18 Annual POPS Event Proves Popular and Productive

Twenty-five practitioners and over seventy third-and fourth-year students attended the Practice Opportunities Program (POPS) at the Meany Tower Hotel on February 15, 1996. The program is designed to put practitioners with associateships available or practices for sale in touch with students who are looking for these opportunities. Dr. H. Sam Anderson (’51), emcee for this year’s event, introduced each of the participating practitioners and asked them individually to make brief presentations. Over beverages and hors d’oeuvres, students listened as they described their opportunities, communities and patient bases. A wide range of opportunities were represented: from a practice for sale in Northgate to a Community Clinic staff dentist position in Eugene, Oregon. The military and the Indian Health Service were also represented. The message: graduating dental students have a broad spectrum of positions to choose from. After the presentation “forum”, students and practitioners mixed and mingled, exchanged cards and brochures, and enjoyed each others’ company. The next POPS event is scheduled for the winter of 1998. ■

20 Contemporary Fixed Prosthodontics: Esthetic, Functional, Conservative and Achievable Bruce J. Crispin, DDS, MS

Restorative dentistry is in a transition period between what has been taught in Dental Schools for decades and is routinely done in most general practices and what is now known as adhesive or “Contemporary Restor- ative Dentistry”. For the next decade dentistry will be converting and perfecting new conservative and highly esthetic techniques and materials. The goal of this lecture will be to discuss many of the newest approaches to solving anterior and posterior restorative fixed prosthodontic problems. The focus will be on esthetic procedure with an emphasis on conservative restorative alternatives using ceramic and composition materials. The problem of material selection will be addressed as well as how to use materials based upon priorities. Techniques and supportive materials and devices will be discussed. Hi-Tech restorations will also be highlighted and clinical cases will be presented.

21 The Honor Roll of Donors For the 1995–96 Fiscal Year The faculty, staff and students of the University of Washington School of Dentistry wish to thank our alumni and friends for the financial support they provided over the 1995-96 school year. The donations that we received were used to support activities and expenditures for which federal and state funding was either non-existent or inadequate. For example, funds were used for student scholarships and loans, faculty and student research, faculty and staff development, equipment, and minor renovations. At this time, we wish to acknowledge:
