Dental Congress
Welcome to the 2011 FDI Annual World
It’s a great satisfaction for the Mexican Dental Association that, for the third time in history (1972, 1999 and
2011), we will host the Annual World Dental Congress of the International Dental Federation (FDI), now in its
edition XCIX. It’s a great honor, but also a great responsibility.
FDI is the largest dental organization in the world, bringing together 220 countries and more than one million
dentists worldwide.
The Congress is from 14 to 17 September 2011, at Centro Banamex in Mexico City. We are sure that we will
have one of the best scientific programs that have been launched in Mexico and we are proud to have the
participation of the best exponents of contemporary Dentistry. We will have speakers from many parts of
the world, who will present current topics of immediate clinical use in most dental specialties: Endodontics,
Periodontics, Prosthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Maxillofacial Surgery, Implantology, Dental Caries, Saliva,
Genetics and Oral Health, among other specialties. With this scientific program we are aiming for attendees to
have access to technological advances and scientific findings, as well as the more advanced techniques.
Also, we’ll organize a large trade show, which will feature the world’s largest companies, offering products,
equipment, instruments and cutting edge technology. We invite you to attend. You will have the opportunity
to leverage a variety of offers and would be able to participate in the daily raffle for a Mercedes Benz car.
We are preparing a grand opening with the participation of the highest figures of Dentistry in the world and
in which, as part of the artistic section we’ll present the essence of our great Mexican culture. We’ll be very
pleased and proud to share this event with you.

Welcome to the 2011 FDI Annual World Dental Congr
ess
It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the 2011 FDI Annual World Dental Congress in Mexico City,
September 14-17 2011. After 1972 and 1999, we are excited to return to Mexico City to experience the unique
warm hospitality so typical of Mexicans.
Under the theme of “New Horizons in Oral Health Care”, this congress will offer a platform to learn and
exchange ideas with a host of internationally renowned speakers participating in a cutting edge scientific
programme jointly developed by FDI and the Mexican Dental Association (ADM). The choice of Mexico City
for the 99th Annual World Dental Congress will provide delegates with unique opportunities to develop their
professional knowledge and skills as well as network with a truly global audience. I also strongly encourage
you to take advantage of the presence of over 200 exhibiting companies to keep up to date with evolving
technologies of equipment and latest dental materials.
A visit to Mexico would not be complete without taking advantage of discovering the rich culture, gastronomic
traditions and multicolored folklore the country provides. Many opportunities will be available to you to
experience these during the congress and, should you extend your stay in the country, you can take advantage
to further discover Mexico’s biodiversity through specially selected excursions throughout the country.
I am greatly looking forward to the 2011 FDI Annual World Dental Congress in Mexico City and look forward to
meeting you there!
Kind regards,
Dr. Roberto Vianna
FDI President

The Lienzo Charro in Constituyentes springs from a sense of belonging, craving for life,

fighters who embrace time-honoured tradition. They are tough and uphold the values of
one of the endeavours that most loyally encapsulates the Mexican spirit.
Charrería is all about fields, brawn, strife, art and bravery. It captures the essence of the
cross-fertilization that spawned it, and the mindset that an entire people share.
It is opening its doors to the public for a firsthand experience of this distinctive lifestyle, and

MEXICO CITY
BANKING / CURRENCY
Mexico City is privileged since it offers what very few
other cities can: a centralised location – which means
that everything from culture, nature, tourism, education,
entertainment, healthcare, religious centres and night life
surround the city.
The Mexican currency is the Peso ($ or MXP). It is issued in
bills of $20, $50, $100, $200, $500 and $1,000 pesos, and
in coins of ¢10, ¢20, ¢50 (cents) and in $1, $2, $5, $10 and
$20 pesos.
Located in the nation’s centre (99º 09’ W longitude,
19º 24’’ N latitude, GMT -6), the city is surrounded by
mountains that rise from the remains of seven ancient
lakebeds and has an average elevation of 2300 m above
the sea level.
It borders to the north, east and west with Estado de
Mexico and with the state of Morelos to the south. By
The most commonly used credit cards are Visa, MasterCard
and American Express. Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs)
are available 24 hours a day and can be found in shopping
areas and at banks.
Foreign currency can be changed at the Airport, banks,
hotels and some other places.
Banking hours are: Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm.
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
Taxi
The Mexico City International Airport (MCIA) is the largest
airport in the country. Many airlines operate international
routes to and from MCIA, including Aeroméxico, Mexicana,
Air France, Air Canada, American Airlines, Lloyd Bolivian
Airlines, LAN Chile, Varig, Avianca, United Airlines, Delta
Airlines, Continental Airlines, amongst others.
An official or approved taxi is a unit that must be painted
with the current official colors: white, cherry and golden,
with the logos of the Independence Angel and with
the new Car Tags that distinguish it as individual public
transportations of passengers.
Transportation from the Airport to the Hotel
We suggest to all participants to use only the certified taxis
that are posted inside the airport facilities: Sitio 300, Sitio
Excelencia, Sitio Porto Taxi and Sitio Nueva Imagen.
The distance of the Airport to Downtown is about 15 km.
The airport taxi will cost approximately $130.00 pesos
(12.00 USD$).
City Transportation
There are almost infinite options for getting around in
Mexico City. While its public transportation system can be
complicated, some of
its options offer top–
level services, such as
the subway system,
known as the Metro,
which is one of the
world’s largest, most
efficient and most
economical ones.
Other options such as Trolleybuses, the Metrobus and
the Light Rail (known as the “Tren Ligero”) help reduce air
pollution.
For those who seek greater comfort there are taxi and auto
rental services.
Subway
The cost of a Metro ticket is one of the lowest in the world,
as the fare has been 2 pesos since 2002. Unlike some
other subway systems around the world, a ticket allows
passengers to transfer from one line to another and get
to numerous destinations without having to buy another.
Without a doubt it is the best, quickest and safest way to
get around town.
The approved taxi has the License Plates number printed
on the roof, the trunk and both doors.
The taxi driver license must be visible in the taxi – this is an
official card that identifies him by the complete name and
a photograph.
Hotel Taxis and Radio Taxis
You may also use the services of hotel taxis. The drivers
usually speak English and the cost of the rides is preestablished. You can also use some Radio Taxi Companies
such as:
Taximex: 5538-14-40 or 5519-7690
Servi-Taxi: 5271-2560
Radio Servicios Móviles de Transporte: 5771-4012; 77101-30; 5760-4696 or 5551 -7710
Taxi Radio Mex: 5584-0571
Servitaxis: 5516-6020
Radio Maxi Seguridad:
5768 -8557 or 5768 -8553
Electric Transportation
Metrobus
The City’s Electric Transport System (Sistema de Transporte
Eléctrico) is another alternative provided by the municipal
government to reduce carbon emissions.
This modern public transportation system offers an
alternative for the city’s transit problems since it runs a
straight line aside the normal traffic flow.
The system currently encompasses 15 trolleybus and light
rail lines; the latter is considered the best way to get to
Xochilmilco from the city center.
The fare is $5 MN and is paid using an electronic card
purchased for $11.50 MN, which includes the card’s
refundable deposit value of $8 MN plus one fare.
39
The License Plates or Car Tags are white with the most
representative monuments of the city, the image of
the Independence Angel and the slogan: “Ciudad en
Movimiento”. Also, the Car Tags have one letter at the
beginning, followed by five numbers (see right image):
MEXICO CITY AND ITS TOURISTIC
ATTRACTIONS
Mexico City, founded in 1325, is the main tourist
destination of the country. It has a large and diverse
touristic offer that includes 9 pre-Hispanic archeological
sites, close to 1,500 Colonial buildings, as well as more
than 150 museums, 300 art galleries, zoos, urban forests,
green areas and hundreds of modern buildings.
Mexico is the only City in the world that has 4 sites
declared Humanity’s Heritage by the UNESCO; these are:
The Historic Center, the Xochimilco Canals, the National
University and the House of the Architect Luis Barragán.
We strongly suggest that you take the time to get around
the city so that you don’t miss:
The Historic Center: the Zocalo Square, the Templo Mayor
Archeological Site, the National Palace and the Diego
Rivera muralist paintings, the Ayuntamiento Palace, the
Mexico City’s Museum, the Santo Domingo Square, the
Palace of Fine Arts and the Latin American Tower.
Reforma and Chapultepec: In these areas you will find
our great historic and national monuments such as the
Independence Angel, the Emperor Cuauhtemoc Monument, the Hunting Diana Monument, the National
Museum of Anthropology, the Chapultepec Castle, the
Chapultepec Lake and its Zoo.
Towards North: Tlatelolco Archeological Site, the
Guadalupe Shrine and the wonderful Teotihuacan
Pyramids.
Towards South: the Colonial Neighborhoods such as
Coyoacan and San Angel; there you will find the House of
Frida Kahlo and the House / Study of Diego Rivera.
More to the South: Cuicuilco Archeological Site,
Xochimilco, the Dolores Olmedo Museum and the
National University.
Another way to get around Mexico City is the Turibus,
a Double Decker bus that offers guided tours through
headphones where you can listen to the explanations
in English, French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. The
participants of the FDI World Dental Congress will get
special discounts to ride the Turibus as well as to attend
the National Folkloric Ballet.
If you require any tourist information, visit the official
web site of the Mexico City’s Secretary of Tourism www.
mexicocity.gob.mx or call 01 800 008 90 90. Languages:
English, French, Portuguese, German, Italian and Chinese.
EATING OUT
In Mexico City you can enjoy a wide variety of traditional
Mexican dishes as well as cuisine from around the
world. There’s everything here, from the most exclusive
restaurants to simple, traditional “fondas”.
When looking for traditional Mexican and Spanish food,
your best option is the downtown Historic Center, where
the colonial atmosphere provides the perfect background
for enjoying breakfast or dinner
The Condesa neighborhood is home to numerous worldcuisine restaurants (particularly Argentine, Colombian and
Italian) as well as to modern “fusion” establishments.
And if you’re looking for something a lot more traditional,
the markets in Xochimilco and Coyoacán offer Mexican
favourites that can’t be beat.
TIPPING
Tips are not included in the bill. It is customary to leave
around 10 or 15% of the total check.
MEALS AND DISHES
It’s quite common for most visitors to try different foods
here, so if you are a gastronomic adventurer you’re going
to be tempted by Mexico City!
Traditional dishes:
• Quesadillas
Corn tortillas filled with cheese, vegetables, chicken or
beef. Cheese and Squash blossom quesadillas, or those
made with Huitlacoche (an edible fungus that grows on
corn) are not to be missed.
• Tacos
Tacos come in an enormous variety and you can eat them
any time and almost in any place. Tacos de Canasta are
small corn tortillas filled with beans, potatoes or meat
stocked in a big basket that keeps them warm. There are
also the traditional Tacos de Suadero (small tortillas filled
with fried beef) and Tacos de Carnitas (typically larger and
filled with fried pork).
• Tamales
Traditional for breakfast or dinner, Tamales are eaten
throughout Latin America, but they vary greatly, being
corn the main ingredient. Mexico City tamales are made
from cornmeal and small amounts of hot peppers, chicken
or pork, and wrapped in corn husks. They are often
accompanied by Atole, a hot, sweet pre-Hispanic beverage
also made with corn or rice.
• Tortas
Sandwiches made with white rolls and stuffed with
cheese, eggs, beef or chicken, etc… In fact, the possible
combinations are really only limited by the imagination.
• Pan Dulce (Sweet Pastries)
Going into a Mexico City traditional bakery is a total
experience and a tempting one at that; there are seemingly
innumerable options: shell-shaped “Conchas”, elephantine
“Orejas”, “Cuernitos” (croissants), “Churros” (fried-dough
bars sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon) and many kinds
of pastry slices with cream filling, are just a few of the
elaborate creations that have been around since the
Colonial times.
ELECTRICITY
Mexico voltage is 120 V; 60 Hz. Any electrical equipment
you carry with you that operates at the higher (240v)
rate will need to be dual-voltage (e.g. hair driers). A lot of
electrical equipment (like video cameras, digital cameras,
laptops) that operate on 12 volts via a product-specific
adaptor will happily cope with dual voltage. Check the
adaptor and the device instructions to be sure. When
shopping for electrical appliances, do remember to check
the voltage of the item against the acceptable voltage in
your home country.
SAFETY
DRINKING WATER
In Mexico, tap water is potable, but generally not
recommended for drinking. Hotels usually give guests
one (large) bottle of drinking water per room per night.
Bottled water is also readily available in supermarkets and
at tourist attractions. Tap water in Mexico City, however,
is safe to drink as well as in Monterrey, and several other
major urban centres.
HEALTH AND MEDICARE
Medicine in urban areas is highly developed, public
hospitals are just as good as public hospitals in USA and
just as the American public hospitals, they are always full.
It’s recommended going to private hospitals for faster
service.
In remote areas, consider carrying a first aid kit, aspirin, and
other related items are sold without medical prescription.
WEATHER
Mild during winter and warm and dry during April and May.
The rain season starts in May and ends around October.
Mornings and evenings, especially in winter, can be cold.
TIME
The time of day in Mexico City corresponds to GMT-6 and
daylight saving time is observed in summer. Most shopping
centres and other businesses are open from 9 am to 8 pm,
Monday to Sunday.
Most museums and points of interest are open from 9 am
to 5 pm, Tuesday to Sunday, the latter often offering free
admission.
Most public transportation systems operate from 5 am to
midnight.
41
Just like in any other great city in the world, remember to:
- Watch your belongings and don’t make a great show of
them.
- If you want to take a walk or exercise, ask your hotel
personnel to direct you to the most appropriate routes.
- Walk on busy, well-lit streets at night.
- If you’re bringing your own car with you, don’t forget to
check on the “Hoy No Circula” program regulations.
- On the streets, don’t accept or pay for unrequested
services.
- Report incidents to any preventive police officer,
regardless of his or her division.
