BEHIND THE CURTAIN: How the College Kept the Dental Clinics Open During the Pandemic

STORY ON PAGE 9

From the Dean Dear Colleagues: We are now in our 10th month of dealing with all that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought our way, and although each week seems to present us with a new set of challenges, I am pleased to share with you some of the amazing things we have accomplished. Yes, we all have had to find alternate ways of doing just about everything, but this has not prevented us from reaching our goals. We have so much to be grateful for and so much to be proud of. As the cover of this issue of the Dental Journal shows, our Postle Hall clinics have undergone a dramatic transformation that has enhanced the safety of our patients, students, staff, and faculty. We are fortunate to have benefited from the many experts on our campus who helped us create such environments. Because of their input, we are able to make full use of all our operatories now -- a feat that has been accomplished by few, if any, other dental schools in the country. As you will see, our lead story is about one of our alums whose extraordinary service to his community was given special recognition by Ohio State’s Alumni Association. He is the first graduate from our college to receive the Robert M. Duncan Alumni Award for “service to humanity and for exemplifying the university’s motto, ‘Education for Citizenship.’” It is tremendously rewarding that one of our own is demonstrating what it means to be a leader and a dental professional. In spite of the delays the pandemic has caused, we are sharing some current images of the spaces that our students, staff, faculty, and alumni will soon enjoy in our new facility – the expansion of Postle Hall. I hope you are as impressed as others who have toured the site and commented on the building’s appearance that is so spacious, contemporary, and professional. You will also learn about our new classes of dental hygiene and dental students who joined us this fall – how many are in each class; where they are from; and their credentials. Also presented are the 46 dental professionals who came to our college for their residency training. Such a stellar group of students and residents speaks volumes about the quality of our faculty and programs. Spread over several pages of the magazine are our faculty members’ publications and their funded research grants. Each of these is evidence of our college’s impact on the profession through discoveries that help us better understand the systems we work in, and by developing more predictable and beneficial treatments for our patients. It is no exaggeration to say our faculty are helping to shape the future of dentistry. In the closing pages of the magazine is a message from the president-elect of our Dental Alumni Society, Tara Haid, ‛01 DDS, who offers her own words of encouragement and optimism. As a proud alumna, she sees how much we can accomplish for our college and the profession as we work together. We should all take her words to heart. As we continue to face head-on the challenges posed by COVID-19, we all can feel glad that we have the continued ability to fulfill our commitments and obligations to those who depend on us. I am sincerely grateful to all who have helped make it possible for us to enjoy the successes that are showcased in this issue of the Dental Journal. And I thank each of you for taking the time to learn about the many efforts we have made and the many things we have accomplished! Go Buckeyes!

SHARING BLESSINGS Brian Amison, ’97 DDS, Recognized with OSUAA Service Award

Dr. Brian Amison knew he wanted to be a dentist when he was just 6 years old. During a dental appointment in his hometown of Loraine, Ohio, he watched his dentist skillfully turn a crying child into one who left happy and smiling. He knew then that he wanted to be able to do the same. Unwavering in his career choice, Dr. Amison chose Ohio State to earn his dental degree and subsequently settled in northeast Ohio. He has since built successful dental practices in Canton and Wooster, Ohio, and has forged strong ties to the communities he serves. Believing in his obligation to turn his own blessings into blessings for others, he has for years provided free dental services to adults in his community whose families would otherwise be unable to afford dental care. He also mentors at-risk males and provides care to the homeless through community-based organizations. The Ohio State University Alumni Association (OSUAA) recently recognized Dr. Amison’s service to his community by awarding him with the 2020 Robert M. Duncan Alumni Award. The award is presented annually to alumni “who have distinguished themselves in service to humanity and who have best exemplified the university’s motto, ‘Education for

“

“Being able to make a difference in people’s lives... that means a lot to me

”

Citizenship.’” Dr. Amison said he was surprised and humbled when he learned about the recognition. “Just being thought of for the award was amazing, but to be honored by a great university like Ohio State makes it that much better,” he said. When talking to Dr. Amison, his positivity is striking. It seems as natural to him as the huge smile he wears when he talks about his passion for serving the community—a passion he learned from his parents. “My parents are my number one heroes,” he said. “My mom is a teacher, so I watched her being an educator and helping people. My dad loved to give back as well, so it was natural for me to want to do the same.” Reflecting on his recognition, the married father of two feels his greatest achievement is having a positive impact on people’s lives—especially on the lives of his patients. “The dentist chair isn’t the place where most people want to be. But being able to ease their fears—that means a lot to me.”

Countdown to

Move-in Day After years of planning, construction of the expanded Postle Hall is finally nearing its end. And while the completion date was delayed due to unforeseen coronavirus-related impacts, the college will be able to utilize some spaces in the building as early as next month. Each day, there are more gratifying signs that the building will be finished soon, heightening anticipation for our mid-2021 move-in day.

1. 1. Distinguished by beautiful wood paneling, the two-story atrium will include a bistro and comfortable seating areas where students, faculty, staff, and visitors can relax. 2. 2. The new Central Sterilization will be ready for use in January. The space is significantly larger than the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current Central Sterilization. 3. 3. Each small group student dental practice includes a dedicated lab space for students to complete treatments for patients.

4. The Delta Dental Foundation Ambulatory Surgery Center is a unique addition to the expanded 5.

building. The center includes four ambulatory surgery units that will provide an enhanced level of care for patients with significant and complex healthcare needs.

How the College of Dentistry Remained Open During the Pandemic Never has the public’s focus on health professionals been more concentrated than it has been during the COVID-19 pandemic. And rightly so. With the science around the virus unfolding in real time before our eyes, it became apparent early in the pandemic that there was much medical researchers did not know. Faced with the challenge of a once-in-a-century pandemic and the responsibility to continue providing oral health care to Ohioans in need, members of the College of Dentistry’s senior leadership team quickly mobilized to determine how the college’s dental practitioners could continue to safely treat patients. As with most dental offices, the college’s first step in the early days of the pandemic was to temporarily stop routine dental treatments. Student practitioners were sent home to shelter in place while a small number of faculty, residents, and attendings remained to provide dental care to patients with emergent needs. Faced, like the rest of the nation, with a shortage of personal protective equipment, the college appealed to its alumni to help amass enough infrared thermometers to complete required health checks to detect symptoms of the virus. Alumni came through, despite their own challenges to ensure their dental practices were safe, and donated enough new infrared thermometers to assist in a robust health check process established by the medical center. To ensure safe social distancing, patient visits in the college’s clinics, which typically see 400plus patients a day, were reduced to an average of 15 emergency visits a day. This significant reduction—coupled with the required health checks—enabled the college to continue providing safe dental treatment to patients who were physically spread among the more than 100 dental operatories and care rooms throughout Postle Hall. The college was also not immune to the nationwide challenge of sourcing N95 respirators. Through collaborative efforts with The OSU Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), a respiratory protection program was established and the college’s dental healthcare workers were soon fit tested for N95 respirators. The medical 9

center sourced the respirators and included the college in its reprocessing efforts with Battelle’s N95 respirator sterilization program. Face shields, another critical item in extreme demand, were also sourced by the medical center in sufficient quantities for the college to safely protect its clinical workforce members.

the team recommended the college install high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in each operatory where aerosol-generating procedures would be completed. The filters would further keep patients and practitioners safe by removing aerosol and spray particles from the air around them.

Next, the college assembled specialists from Ohio State and central Ohio, including infectious disease experts from OSUWMC; engineers from Ohio State’s College of Engineering; personnel from the university’s facilities and buildings office; and a consultant from an Ohio-based environmental, health, and safety company. This health and safety team was tasked with studying the college’s clinical spaces and outlining a way forward to safely expand care services.

Retrofitting so many operatories was an enormous undertaking—one that took several months. But as spaces were completed, patient visits were increased and the number and variety of procedures performed increased as well. In close consultation with university leadership, the college became the first at Ohio State to bring students back to campus following the suspension of classes and activities due to COVID-19.

The team completed an intensive review of the dental clinics and presented the college with a plan: retrofit the walls of the student and resident operatories to raise them from chest- to ceiling-height and hang hospital-grade curtains at each operatory entrance. These actions would create contained treatment areas that conform to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Additionally,

Today, the college’s dental clinics are fully operational. And although as a nation we’re still navigating the challenges of the pandemic, the College of Dentistry is committed to keeping patient and provider safety at the forefront of every decision made. This approach allows our providers to continue doing what they do best— taking care of patients and providing the safe dental care Ohioans need and deserve.

Before

After

Before & After The half-walls in the pre-doctoral clinics that were once so efficient in helping faculty supervise students suddenly became an impediment to patient and provider safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. The collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solution? Based on feedback from safety, medical, and engineering experts, the college used Plexiglas to extend the operatory walls to the ceiling, installed hospital-grade curtains at each operatory entrance, and placed high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in those areas where aerosol-generating procedures would be completed. Now, faculty members move in and out of safe, upgraded operatories to supervise students. 11

Linings “We as a student body and college are working extremely hard each and every day to ensure proper PPE and continue academic success through this hard time. What our class realizes most is that we are all in this together.”

Miles Leube, ’21 (DHY)

“It is strange to hear upperclassmen talk about 8-hour days spent in class, and hours on end spent in the preclinic. My first year in dental school has been very different with days spent “Zooming” into class in my pajamas with a warm cup of coffee and cookies baking in the oven. Our in-person labs have less students, so I get more personal attention from the professors. With fewer people around I feel as though the relationships I have made with my classmates and faculty are even more authentic.”

Sydney Sherek, ’24 (DDS)

College of Dentistry students, faculty, and staff are keenly aware of the toll the pandemic has taken on people and their families. Nevertheless, many students are finding “silver linings” during the pandemic.

“I have realized how truly precious every moment is that we get to spend with other people, especially our loved ones because we never really know when it might be the last time we get to see someone in-person. Life is all about enjoying the present moment and holding our loved ones even closer.”

Victoria Hoerig, ’22 (DHY)

“Attending in-person lab courses with just half of our class has allowed me to develop better relationships with my classmates. I feel like I am getting to know more people because I consistently interact with the same classmates.”

Austin Clyde ’24 (DDS)

“The administration and faculty are doing all they can to help us through this stressful time by being open with their communication and encouraging student input when making decisions. It has been a heart-warming feeling to know that I belong to a caring, cohesive community of people who help one Christine Morgan, another thrive even in tough times.”

Purnima Kumar, BDS, ’05 MS, ’05 PhD Receives Gies Award Dr. Purnima Kumar, a professor in the Division of Periodontology, was recently selected as a recipient of the William J. Gies Award for Outstanding Achievement by a Dental Educator, presented by the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Gies Foundation. The American Academy of Periodontology nominated her for the prestigious award. ADEA’s Gies awards are given annually to institutions, organizations, and individuals whose efforts “meaningfully advance oral health and dental education” in ways that align with the ideals set forth more than 90 years ago by the dental education pioneer William J. Gies, PhD. Dr. Kumar is a nationally recognized researcher whose investigations of the impact of smoking and e-cigarettes on oral health have been consistently funded by the National Institutes of Health through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and the National Cancer Institute. She is also a member of the International College of Dentists, and a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. ■

Beau Meyer, ’14 DDS, MPH, Receives ADEA’s Olav Alvares Award Dr. Beau Meyer, an Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Dentistry, recently received the American Dental Education Association’s Olav Alvares Award for Early Career Scholars for an article he published in the Journal of Dental Education. That publication was titled “Assessing Dental Students’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs About Medicaid and Health Care Reform: A Mixed-Methods Study.” The Olav Alvares Award is intended to encourage junior scholars, such as assistant professors, instructors, residents, students and staff, who conduct and publish outstanding research. Dr. Meyer is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

Dear Fellow Alumni, It is great to be a Buckeye! Although we are all going through different challenges during this pandemic, one thing that has not changed is our buckeye pride and desire for camaraderie. Given our current situation, many of us have called on fellow alumni to help us navigate through each obstacle that has been thrown at us from shutting down, finding PPP lenders, or just finding PPE.

Yet, in times of adversity, it is important to find the silver lining. For me, it is feeling appreciative for all that we have and who we have in our lives. It is a time to not take things for granted and know that every day is a gift. It is in our nature to be resilient and never give up, or else we would never tell anyone (for the 100th time) to keep flossing! Currently, your Dental Alumni Society has found itself in unfamiliar territory trying to help connect our alumni to each other and to our students. Since we are still unable to meet in person, we will be using other digital platforms in an attempt to reconnect. If you have not done so already, please email Amanda Jovanovich at jovanovich.3@osu.edu and update your contact information so that we can keep you up to date on any future activities. As we look forward to what the future brings, we are planning events for 2021, including a reception at the new College of Dentistry building, an Alumni event for the Memorial Golf Tournament, an Alumni Tailgate for the Homecoming football game, and Alumni receptions at dental conventions. As a society, we support our dental students and alumni, but we cannot do this without your support as a member. If you are not already, please consider becoming a Lifetime member. You may do this with a one-time payment or using a payment plan by going to our website: http://www.osudas.com/. To our current members, I say, ”Thank you,” for your continued support. We are a strong Buckeye nation, and we are stronger together! Go Bucks Tara L. Haid, ’01 DDS President-elect, Dental Alumni Society
