COMMITTEE CHAIR’S REPORT Wow, what a year! Indeed, it has been a year since this virus began showing up here, and then in mid-March, events started being canceled and the country began shutting down. Life as we knew it changed forever, just as things changed so dramatically after 9/11.

Our offices began to reopen in June. Things were looking better in the fall and then the holiday surge happened.

Pfizer and Moderna have developed COVID vaccines that have been approved for Emergency Use Authorization with more on the way. While vaccines were being shipped, some states have been very slow in getting the “vaccines into arms.” Dental offices/clinics were classified within Phase Ia, the first group to be eligible for vaccinations. As expected, the virus eventually mutated and several more infectious variants have been discovered, although the current vaccines are still said to be effective against these variants.

Our school was authorized as a vaccination site by the San Francisco Department of Health and we began weekend vaccination clinics on January 30 and 31. When dentists were allowed to give vaccinations after taking a CDC training course, over 200 people within the Dugoni School family volunteered to help. “Pods” of four people including a dentist/dental student, pharmacist/pharmacy student or physician’s assistant team up to give vaccinations. At this time, the clinic is only open to Dugoni school students, faculty and staff. But as more groups become eligible to be vaccinated, the school hopes to open the clinic to serve the surrounding community.

Our school — as well as the entire dental profession — suffered a devastating loss with the passing of Dean Emeritus Arthur Dugoni on September 23. Many tributes to him have already been written, and the school held a virtual “Celebration of Life” on Zoom. Art was a teacher, mentor and friend to so many of us.

He will be sorely missed.

COMMITTEE CHAIR’S REPORT CONT. Our annual Graduation Symposium and Dinner could not take place as usual, but a virtual celebration was held for the Class of 2020 on September 25. We hope to have the Class of 2020 back for an in-person event possibly in conjunction with this year’s graduation. Dr. Laura Iwasaki, chair at Oregon has accepted our invitation to be this year’s Graduation Symposium speaker, if the event is allowed to occur, on September 17, 2021.

The PCSO Annual Session was held virtually in early October. The 85th Annual Session is the Western Orthodontic Conference, a combined meeting of the PCSO and RMSO scheduled for October 21-24 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland. This year’s theme is “Dare to be Different” and attendees will be able to participate in various virtual and in-person sessions.Registration will be coming soon!

COMMITTEE CHAIR’S REPORT CONT. The 2021 Annual Session of the AAO originally scheduled for late April in Boston has been rescheduled to occur June 25-27. In-person and virtual options will be available.

We had our second planning meeting for the 50th Anniversary Celebration. Originally scheduled for May 15, the event has been postponed due to the pandemic. It was decided that we would instead celebrate the 50th anniversary in conjunction with the graduation of the first class in 2023.

This will give us some needed time to recover from the pandemic and allow us to more safely have an in-person event. However, we would start promoting the Celebration beginning with this year’s Fred West Lecture.

One member of each class has been designated a “point person” to garner interest and enthusiasm for the event. We have sent an email and letter to each point person and hope to have a rough number of people interested in attending by our next Planning Committee meeting in June.

We envision having continuing education with lectures given by prominent alums with expertise in Invisalign™, Damon, early treatment, 3D imaging, 3D printing, etc. There would be breakout sessions for class reunions and tours of the school (for those who graduated from 2155 Webster). The day would conclude with a dinner either catered at the school or at a nearby restaurant.

The events listed above are made possible with assistance from your membership dues. I want to thank you for your continued support. Please renew your membership. If you have not joined, I encourage you to consider joining. Please feel free to contact me at orthojet@aol.com with any questions or concerns. We are also always looking for people with ideas and energy to become involved with our chapter of the alumni association or with the Planning Committee for the 50th Anniversary Celebration.

DEPARTMENT CHAIR’S REPORT Dear Alumni and Friends, I hope that you all are safe and had a great start to 2021. The pandemic is still raging, but there is hope that the worst is behind us with the COVID-19 vaccines.

When looking back on 2020, the first word that comes to my mind is gratitude. I am incredibly thankful and proud of our residents, faculty, and staff for supporting one another during the pandemic and working diligently and creatively every day to selflessly prioritize patient care and our residents’ education. I would like to express my special thanks to our clinic director, Dr. Joorok Park ’08 for successfully continuing clinical operations. Seeing people come together during these unprecedented times has been both humbling and inspiring.

I continue to be amazed by how technology enabled us to overcome challenges, kept us connected, and allowed us to continue to function via online classes, virtual meetings, graduation ceremonies, annual conferences, virtual interviews, remote access to school computers from home, and virtual patient consultations. Every crisis brings about new opportunities and encourages new ways of doing things. This pandemic accelerated the paradigm shift to a more digital world, transforming the way we learn/teach and provide healthcare. When the dust finally settles, we will need to decide which models and platforms are here to stay.

Although these have been challenging times, we have made some good progress. I would like to share what we have done and what we will be working on in the coming year.

Faculty hiring. We hired two full-time faculty members. In addition to Dr. James Chen who came on board in 2019, Dr. Jonas Bianchi joined us in August 2020 from the University of Michigan. Dr. Bianchi obtained his MS and PhD in orthodontics, as well as a certificate in orthodontics, at São Paulo State University, SP, Brazil. He has quickly become an invaluable member of our department with his extensive knowledge and experience in 3D imaging research. In addition, we are continuing to recruit superb clinical faculty with diverse backgrounds to support clinical excellence.

I believe that we have laid the groundwork for increasing scholarship activity, since both Drs. Chen and Bianchi have extensive research experience and are currently conducting research projects funded by the NIH. They will support our residents’ research efforts by partnering with current research faculty, as well as collaborating with researchers from other schools and disciplines.

I am excited to share the news on publications, presentations and awards by our faculty and the residents in the newly created Scholarship Activity column in this issue.

CODA site visit in 2022. We will be busy preparing for the accreditation this upcoming year.

I would like to thank our department’s self-study group faculty for helping me prepare the accreditation self-study report.

DEPARTMENT CHAIR’S REPORT CONT. The celebration of our graduate program’s 50th anniversary in 2021. The celebration event in May 2021 has been postponed. A planning committee is currently reviewing alternate plans. With a halfcentury of history and well over 200 alumni, it is a critical time for us to bring everyone together to create a greater sense of community and to generate support. As a part of preparing the program’s 50th anniversary, the dental school’s alumni association and our department planned a town hall meeting for our orthodontic alumni on February 10, 2021.

The Celebration of Life of Dr. Arthur A. Dugoni was held virtually. Dr. Art Dugoni’s passing was a great loss for the entire Dugoni school family. He touched many of our lives and inspired many of us to do more than we believed we could do ourselves. His dream was to provide scholarships for every student and resident. He led by example in his philanthropy and created an endowed scholarship for our residents in 2017. After his passing, we named the scholarship the Arthur A. Dugoni Orthodontic Endowed Scholarship to honor him and his legacy.

I would like to also take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for Dr. Ken Shimizu’s generosity and dedication to teaching for over 30 years. In honoring Dr. Art Dugoni’s dream to support our orthodontic residents and dental students, Dr Shimizu and his wife Laurie have donated $250,000 which will be matched by the Powell Match. Therefore, $250K will go to the Arthur A. Dugoni Orthodontic Endowed Scholarship and $250K will go to the scholarship for dental students.

Dr. Shimizu stated that this is a token of his appreciation for everything that Dr. Art Dugoni has provided for him and his family, and hopes that along with the generosity of others, this will help turn Dr. Dugoni’s dream into reality.

In addition, the Robert L. Boyd Scholarship Endowment that was created upon Dr. Boyd’s retirement has raised over $135,000. These two endowed orthodontic scholarships have reached a combined total of over $1 million thus far. We will form a scholarship committee that will plan scholarships for future residents. We encourage you all to consider contributing to these endowments.

Overall, we have so much to be proud of, and yet, there is still so much more to accomplish. I am excited for a brighter 2021, where we will emerge stronger, more resilient, and more creative. As the saying goes, “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

Yours cordially, Heesoo Oh Professor and Chair, Department of Orthodontics

Editor‘s Note: We touched on the topic of social injustice in the last issue. I usually touch bases with Dr. Dugoni if I feel something may be controversial or may offend people. After reviewing my report, he told me that the only people I may offend are the “KKK types.” Art mentioned that he had also been working on a piece about social injustice. With Dr. Dugoni’s passing, I do not think there was time for it to be published. The following is the unedited work that he sent to me.

DUGONI ON SOCIAL INJUSTICE

By Dr. Arthur A. Dugoni “What’s Past is Prologue”…Shakespeare Due to the pandemic explosion throughout our country over the past months I couldn’t help but reflect on the past. I decided to look back at the words of five of my favorite people in history.

Each made comments regarding issues that prevailed. These included Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and President John F. Kennedy.

It’s amazing that over 50 years ago three of them recognized the need for change in social justice. Martin Luther King reminded us with these words, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” President Kennedy wrote on civil rights,”if freedom is to survive and prosper it will require the sacrifice, the effort and thoughtful attention of every citizen.” At the same time, Nelson Mandela wrote, ”Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

And over 100 years ago Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Last, over 150 years ago in Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address which spoke of abolishing slavery he reminded us, “With malice toward none and charity for all”.

As we reflect on the current pandemic demonstrations demanding social change it is important to look back and see so many times in our history where the issue of social justice was given serious attention by leaders nationally and internationally. However many of the changes recommended by hundreds of individuals over time did not result in meaningful actions and did not become a reality.

At this time it may be impossible to believe, but I think we now have the opportunity to redefine our future, right many wrongs and help rebuild this great nation.

Second Year Residents’ Report

By Ali Ghowsi ’21

The Class of 2021 continues to navigate the challenge of treating patients through this pandemic. While we have missed out on previous opportunities to travel the country to learn more about orthodontics, we have been fortunate enough to learn from world-renowned lecturers from the comfort of our own homes. We enjoy working with our first-year residents and making as many positive memories as we can with them.

We all enjoy going for the Ceph Master Award that Dr. Cole introduced in his famous Wednesday afternoon seminars. I am very proud of my classmates for not only surviving this pandemic but thriving. I have never met a harder-working group of individuals who can rise up to face any challenge. We will continue to keep our spirits high and finish our residency experience with grace as we prepare ourselves for the new world that the pandemic has created for us.

in Memorium On September 23, 2020, we suffered the tragic loss of Dean Emeritus Arthur A. Dugoni. Dr. Dugoni was 95 and lived a productive life.

Celebrating the life of Arthur A. Dugoni ’48

Dr. Arthur A. Dugoni transformed University of the Pacific’s school of dentistry into one of the nation’s best during his 28 years as dean. The charismatic and energetic educator championed a student-centered, caring, “humanistic” approach to dentistry that became a national model in dental education.

When he passed on September 23, 2020 at age 95, the outpouring from the community was overwhelming, but not unexpected.

“Art Dugoni was one of the most important leaders in the 169-year history of California’s first university,” said Pacific President Christopher Callahan.

“He not only transformed the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, but the discipline of dental education. Art will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on through the thousands of alumni, faculty, students, staff, supporters and friends at the school that bears his name.”

Arthur A. Dugoni ’48

Dr. Dugoni’s remarkable life and leadership, which was honored at a Celebration of Life in December, inspired countless students, residents, faculty and staff to pursue their passion for oral health care education and practice, leading to the improvement of millions of lives.

He served as dean of the Dugoni School from 1978 to 2006. He also served as president of the California Dental Association, the American Dental Association, the American Dental Education Association and the American Board of Orthodontics. He presented some 1,000 lectures, papers, clinics and essays and published more than 175 articles.

Dr. Dugoni received numerous honors, including being named one of only 30 living members globally of the FDI World Dental Federation’s List of Honour. In 2004, Pacific renamed its School of Dentistry for Dr. Dugoni during his silver anniversary as dean.

“Art led a purposeful life and his legacy lives in the people he educated and the lives he touched,” said President Emeritus Don DeRosa. “I’m proud I was president when Pacific honored him by naming the dental school the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. He so wonderfully exemplified Pacific’s mission of 'preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities.’”

The Dugoni School of Dentistry flourished under his leadership. Advances in digital dentistry, creation of a state-of-the-art simulation lab, the launch of the International Dental Studies program, expansion of clinical services and community outreach, clinical research that led to new dental products and techniques, and many other advances all took hold during his tenure as dean. In 2006 the school completed the largest dental school capital fundraising campaign in the U.S. at the time ($65.7 million).

“Dentistry and dental education are stronger today because of Dr. Dugoni and his passion for people and the profession,” said Dr. Nader A. Nadershahi ’94, ’99, ’11, dean of the Dugoni School of Dentistry. “The Dugoni School family honors his legacy and how he touched our lives by building on our defining characteristic of humanistic education and commitment to excellence. He was an incredible mentor and role model.”
