he noted American film director, actor and comedian, Woody Allen once famously said that “just showing up is eighty percent of success.”

We might say it’s obvious that if you’re not there nothing would get done. But it warranted saying anyway because it’s often difficult to show up for anything due to our busy lives. And it’s usually not just showing up once, but reporting for duty over and over again, until a commitment has been seen thru to completion. And that can mean years of commitment.

Many leaders of the USA Section made pilgrimages to South Carolina and Virginia last year to participate in an exercise of Applied Strategic Planning. On hearing that the strategic plan was a five-year plan it conjured up in me recollections of Nikita Khrushchev and his happy band of politburo members. Donning overcoats and fedoras, and just beyond pistol range, they promised a successful five-year plan every time a sparrow was spotted in Moscow. Thus, I was a little skeptical about our chances of success and personally would have felt more comfortable with a four- or a six-year plan, but it is what it is. More specifically, I was concerned about how we could maintain focus over a five-year period.

Firmly ensconced in our seats last year, the twenty-some participants at our meetings worked hard, fought for our beliefs, served on various breakout committees and then came finally to a consensus (rarely an easy exercise for dentists) for the good of the USA Section.

The process was intoxicating. We were fired up.

The possibilities were exciting. This was no ordinary strategic planning meeting. Something was different.

What we were going to do was determined at that meeting.

Who was going to do this or that was decided. When it would be completed was settled. Our facilitator was the world renowned Dr. Robert Frazer who deftly guided us through the process. Then, incredibly, we received a letter from the future congratulating us on a job well done. Wow! Who would ever have predicted that?

We are now a little more than a year into this plan: time to evaluate our progress. What’s happening?

Have we stayed focused? Well, it seems that we can claim like a man who predicts his own immortality…. so far, so good.

Things we have talked about for a long time are beginning to happen.

We will purchase our own property so that we may soon stop paying rent and start building equity.

s

A new platform and website is being constructed and designed and will probably be fully operational sometime before the end of 2013. Our Section office will have better and more direct control over many functions of the new website increasing efficiency and saving costly fees to outside vendors.

s

Our membership is growing as a reflection of the increase in the number of dentists in the United States but, more importantly, District membership goals have been established which will bring some lagging Districts back up to the national average.

One sees progress in every area of activity within our Section. So, yes… so far, so good. We have maintained our focus.

We must now, however, take active steps to ensure that we stay focused. We cannot sit on our laurels and let the energy we’ve recently seen wither away. That is exactly what happens with most strategic planning exercises. Just as in the operation of a business, the ICD will be either growing or be in decline. There is really never such thing as the status quo. —RJG

his has been an extremely energetic and productive year for the USA Section due to an excellent and engaged BOR, Vice Regents, Deputy Regents, and hundreds of Fellows, who have given so generously of their time and effort. It has been a true honor and a humbling experience for me to have served as your President in 2012.

This year was a year of reflection and planning as we looked closely at our Core Values, Mission, and Vision during the development of our comprehensive Applied Strategic Plan (ASP). We were fortunate to have Bob Frazer, a Fellow and expert in Strategic Planning, serve as our facilitator.

The ASP Process began with Retreat l in Savannah and Retreat II was held in Tyson’s Corner, VA. These were very engaging sessions with our 16 member Core Team. Additional input was provided by an Organizational Health Survey of our Core Team, a Membership Survey, and Shadow Teams.

The BOR approved the ASP unanimously at the BOR Meeting in San Francisco.

This will provide a clear blueprint for our preferred and significant future with specific goals, objectives, and Integrated Action Plans.

Our Core Values are Integrity, Leadership, and Service. Our encapsulated or public Vision, which was extrapolated from our Letter from the Future (LFF), is, “We are the preeminent honorary dental organization in the US that recognizes and promotes excellence in Leadership and Service.” Our LFF is our internal Vision and can be viewed on our website at http://www.usa-icd.org/ private/index.htm. Your ICD member number is required to access this area.

THE KEY/2013

Our Mission Statement received overwhelming support from our Membership Survey and our Shadow Teams with a unanimous approval from the BOR. The USA Section’s Mission is: “The U.S.A. Section of the International College of Dentists, as part of the preeminent honorary dental organization in the world…

Recognizes and promotes excellence in leadership with an emphasis on service,

Addresses oral health needs and education throughout the world, and

Provides support to our Fellows and respect for our peers,

Fosters an atmosphere of collaboration with those who share our values.”

The Fisher House Project (see page 17) was inaugurated in Honolulu, Hawaii in February, 2012.

Dr. Nora Harmsen deserves special kudos for chairing and developing this project. ICD Fellows will now be able to volunteer to provide emergency dental care for the families of Wounded Warriors during their stay at the Fisher Houses.

International College of Dentists

Fellows who practice in the vicinity of the Fisher Houses are encouraged to participate in this important effort.

A Communication Initiative was implemented to significantly upgrade all of the communication efforts for our Fellows, the profession, and the public.

This effort included the approval to fund the development of a new state of the art website (see page 16), a Professional Promotional Video, and a scripted slide presentation (see page 29). Our Ad Hoc IT Committee is chaired by Dr. Michael Bydalek and will be proposed as a Standing Committee at the 2013 Spring BOR Meeting.

The Professional Video will reflect the richness, heritage, and projects of our Section to current Fellows, future candidates, the profession, and prospective Sponsors. The Big Picture was selected as our production company.

I would like to thank many of our Districts and Chapters for their generous donations to this project. Dr. Margot Culotta-Norton and her very dedicated Committee deserve special thanks.

Our narrated ICD Share the Honor scripted slide presentation is being developed in house by Dr. Ted Roberson and our PR Specialist, Paula Rinaudo. This will be a supplement to the Professional Video and will provide a more detailed and informative view and history of the USA Section. Both will be available for distribution after the 2013 Spring BOR Meeting and will be able to be viewed on our website.

The BOR approved a list of updated duties and responsibilities for the Deputy Registrar (see page 14). This will be a proactive position that will coordinate PR, communications, and the effective

U S A

operation of committees and programs.

The Deputy Registrar will assist the Section with its focus on identified goals and the execution of these goals and will be under the direction of the Section President. Dr. Ted Roberson was elected by the BOR to assume this redefined position. Dr. Van Zissi has served as our outstanding Deputy Registrar for the last 10 years, and was voted Deputy Registrar Emeritus by the BOR in San Francisco.

Our Membership Initiative remains an active ongoing process.

Dr. Linda Himmelberger, the outgoing Regent from District 3, has served as a very committed Chair. A Model District Award (see page 12) has been established and will be granted to all Districts that meet its criteria.

The application is available online at http://www.usa-icd.org/information/ awardees.htm and has been emailed to all Regents. An Exit Survey was developed to address the issues involving any Fellowship resignations. Two variations of a Deputy Regent’s Manual with templates that can be individualized by local Constituents were distributed to the Regents and will be available online.

Protocols are being developed to engage new Fellows and encourage them to be active participants in the Section.

The Humanitarian Liaison Sub-committee (see page 16) of the International Collaborative Initiative (ICI) will present programs on International Volunteerism at 12 major dental meetings over the next three years. Dr. Steve Mackler serves as its very energetic Chair, and this committee includes many of the leaders in international volunteerism.

The ICI was approved last year as a new Standing Committee and includes the International Student Exchange (ISE) and Global Health Student Associations sub-committees. Dr. Jeanne Nicolette, the outgoing Regent from District 7, has served as an excellent Chair of the ICI. A Corporate Sponsorship Program has been developed and approved by the BOR. This is an important initiative that will assist in funding many of the Section projects. The Platinum Level is $25,000 to $50,000 per year; the Gold Level is $12,000 per year with a one-time

S E C T I O N

A R T I C L E S

promotion of $30,000 for three years, and Silver Sponsorship of $5,000 per year. The funds will be directed to the Foundation and can be earmarked for special projects.

The Convocation Ceremony was renamed the Richard and Barbara Shaffer Convocation Ceremony in memory of Richard Shaffer. Dick served with distinction as a RADM, Chief of the Navy Dental Corps, and Commanding Officer of the National Naval Medical Center. He served as both Registrar for the USA Section and Secretary General of the College at Large for 10 years. He was on the Convocation Committee for 25 years and served as Chair for 10 years. Dick was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors on November 16th.

I find it difficult to conclude this report without recognizing the many individuals that have given so much throughout the year and noting our many other achievements. I thank everyone for their dedication and efforts in making this a great year for the USA Section, and for the privilege and the honor of serving as your President.

I would also like to offer a special thanks to Dr. Robert Frazer for his outstanding efforts and the generous donation of his time in facilitating our ASP. I thank our staff led by Dr. Carol Turner with Mary Jo, Jennifer, and Paula for their support throughout the year.

I believe we are well positioned for a very promising and significant future with a highly engaged BOR. I am very confident with our future leadership of Paul Stubbs, Curtis Johnson, and Deck Barnes.

e are now completing our first full year of the International

Collaborative Initiative. The three subcommittees in the collaboration are the International Student Exchange, the Global Health Student Association, and the Humanitarian Liaison Committee.

It has been an exciting project with many moving parts.

The newest part of our Initiative is the Humanitarian Liaison Committee. After receiving a significant number of responses from our online member survey, it was determined that volunteerism is a very important part of many Fellow’s lives. Those who responded indicated that they were interested in opportunities both in the U.S. and abroad, and that they were also interested in the nuts and bolts of volunteering.

To that end, this committee has planned a Volunteerism Seminar to be presented at the 2013 Hinman meeting, the Chicago Midwinter meeting and the Pacific Northwest Dental Conference. Sites for other presentations are to be determined.

We hope to develop a group of speakers for this series. For the seminars mentioned above the speaker is Dr. Frank Serio, the Interim Vice Dean and Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs at the East Carolina University School (Continues on page 9)

Ted Roberson THEODORE M. ROBERSON DEPUTY REGISTRAR

Theodore (Ted) Roberson of Durham, North Carolina was elected Deputy Registrar of the ICD USA Section at the annual meeting in San Francisco this last October. Ted was President of the ICD USA Section in 2010.

Ted served on the faculty of the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry for thirty-seven years. As a UNC School of Dentistry faculty member, he served as Chairman of the Department of Operative Dentistry, Director of Admissions, Director of Student Affairs, Director of Alumni and Professional Relations and the Executive Director of the UNC Dental Alumni Association. He also received numerous student appreciation awards as well as the highest teaching award, the Richard F. Hunt Teaching Excellence Award, twice.

He was the Senior Editor and primary author of the Fourth and Fifth Editions of Sturdevant’s Art and Science of Operative Dentistry, the leading selling dental textbook in the world. He is the recipient of numerous awards including the Distinguished Service Award of the North Carolina Dental Society, the Dental Foundation of North Carolina, and the UNC Dental Alumni Association.

He is a Fellow of the International College of Dentists, the American College of Dentists, and the Academy of General Dentistry.

Ted has served in leadership positions for the North Carolina Dental Society, the American Dental Association, the American Dental Education Association, and the International College of Dentists. For many years he was a Delegate to the ADA and was Vice-Chair of the ADA CAPIR Council. Currently, he serves as the NCDS Ambassador, promoting the NCDS and membership on organized dentistry.

12 /2013 12 T THHEEKKEEYY/ 2013

Ted has compelling feelings about the ICD Fellowship. “The ICD,” he says, “is an organization of accomplished men and women. They are recognized for their roles in society and the profession. Once the novelty of an awarded fellowship wanes, the ICD must inspire the member to be not only proud but also become strong proponents of the organization. For this to occur, the ICD must be credible and meaningful. It must stand for professional values or goals that Fellowship support. It must also be visionary, projecting activities that instill in its Fellows pride, ownership, and inspiration. The ICD must be viable and provide worth to the member and the profession.”

He also has concerns about the future of the ICD and feels that “we must maintain an energetic leadership which continually reassesses why and what we are doing and then make any necessary changes. We must become rapidly communicative with our membership. In this way we will engage and harness the energy of new leaders to make the ICD more relevant and beneficial.”

Dr. Roberson is a 1968 graduate of the UNC School of Dentistry and three of his four children, Tiffany, Tara, and Deuce, and one son-in-law, Scott Vines, are also graduates of the dental school. Three of them are ICD Fellows. His other daughter, Kim, has a Masters degree in a non-dental topic, but is the Membership Coordinator of the North Carolina Dental Society. He and his wife Brenda spend a lot of time enjoying their ten grandchildren.

BOARD OF REGENTS ESTABLISHES MODEL DISTRICT AWARD

T

he Board of Regents of the ICD USA Section

voted at their meeting on October 18, 2012 to establish a Model District Award to recognize Districts whose commitment to Leadership, Integrity and Service is exemplary, as measured against established criteria.

These awards are meant to provide a yardstick against which each District can assess its membership, programs and communication and set tangible goals to help improve their outreach to their Fellows, to dental students, the profession and the community.

Districts may voluntarily apply for recognition by completing a Model District Award application, available from the District Regent or online at www.usa-icd.org, and submitting it to the Membership Committee of the USA Section. The deadline for the 2014 applications is March 14, 2014. The Membership Committee will review each application against pre-established standards and determine if the District meets the minimum requirements in all areas. Districts that met the standards for 2013 will be designated as Model Districts and recognized at the Annual Meeting and Convocation in October in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Model District designation is valid for three years; to continue the recognition, the District must re-apply.

Districts which applied for the Model District Award for 2013 had to meet or exceed the Standards established in each of three areas as noted on the following page: (Continues on page 13)

Idaho ICD to life. Prior to his being Deputy Regent there were very few new candidates for fellowship from Idaho and now there are seven or eight a year.

John is the ideal ICD fellow participating in many community and dental organization activities. He is a Co-Founder and Board Member of the Idaho Oral Health Foundation; a dental provider for over 100 intellectually challenged Treasure Valley residents for 30 years; Founder of the Dental Access Program for seniors-economically challenged; a Trainer and Consultant for International Special Olympics and Idaho Special Olympics – Special Smiles Program; was an Associate Professor of Pharmacy at Idaho State University from 1974–1984; a Past President of the Idaho State Dental Association; an Instructor in Radiology for Baylor College of Dentistry; a Mentor-Monitor for local practitioners in the Idaho State Dental Association Substance Abuse Program; and many other activities just too numerous to mention.

He is married to his wife, Carol who is a Family Practice Therapist and has three sons and a daughter, one who works for Costco, one who is in construction, one who is a doctor of Pediatric Psychology at Oregon at the Health Sciences Center, and his daughter who is a Family Practice Therapist like her mom.

Deputy Registrar Van Zissi Retires After many years of dedicated service to the ICD Van Zissi of Vangel R. Zissi Massachusetts has retired from his position as Deputy Registrar of the USA Section.

Van has been a Fellow of the ICD for 42 years and has been very active since 1985 when he served as the Deputy Regent of District 1 or New England. After that he successively served as Vice Regent and Regent of District 1, and was elected Vice President, President Elect and President of the Section. He then agreed to serve as Deputy Registrar of the Section starting in 2006 and Deputy Secretary General of the College at Large. He has also chaired and served on several committees of both the Section and the College at Large.

His personal ICD goal has been to push forward with the ICD Leadership Initiative to encourage the vast pool of youthful talent to contribute their skills, abilities and unique perspectives to bring 21st century innovations to the ICD. His special interest in dentistry is in academics: he is not only a Clinical Professor of Post Graduate Endodontics at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, but also the Director of Tufts Division of Continuing Education.

Of the many honors and awards Van has received over the years he considers his top three having received the Distinguished Service Award from Tufts University in 2008, the Distinguished Service Award from District 1 of the ICD in 2009, and becoming a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics in 1970.

He has always cherished his interactions with his two sons, his sister and her three sons, and, as a lacrosse “junkie,” he is proud of being the dentist of the Tufts University varsity team. Some of his happiest times are traveling with his wife, Barbara.

John Kriz with Idaho’s two Smile of Excellence award winners. Megan Kobrik, who was a senior in high school for 1,000 hours of hospital service, and Glenda Weaver who is Founder of the Grand Parent Raising Grandchildren program for Idaho.

Van’s wisdom, energy, sincerity, guidance, good humor and counsel will be sorely missed at our future meetings. We wish him continued good health, great happiness and fulfillment for many years to come.

FISH E R HOUSE PROJ ECT

T

he Fisher House project kicked off last February 2012 in Hawaii; and throughout this year, we have been slowly working our way across the

United States to encourage ICD Fellows to support this most worthy project. The Fisher House is much like a Ronald McDonald House, which serves the families of those in the hospital. With the Fisher House, the patients are in a military hospital and the Fisher House provides a free place to stay that is close to their loved ones. As can be imagined, there is stress associated with patients having to worry about their family member and then experiencing their own emergency, perhaps a toothache or a broken filling. With the ICD project, this is one stress that is relieved by our volunteer dentists. The Fisher House manager contacts a volunteer dentist and services are provided in the dentist’s office free of charge.

In Hawaii, Ed Cassella, our Deputy Regent, provided

above and beyond care for a patient to be cleared for knee replacement surgery. He provided a thorough periodontal examination with scaling and root planing as needed and cleared the patient for the much needed surgery.

Pictured above: Dr. Michael J. Scheidt visited the Denver Fisher House in support of the ICD-Fisher House initiative. He donated dental hygiene items to the twelve room home and had a tour of the facility with the local program manager, Joy Weyna-King.

Larry Fujioka, also a Hawaii dentist, provided a family member with a temporary anterior crown to give the patient back a smile and allow her to return to her home in Guam.

Paula Rinaudo Appointed Director Of “Wow” The USA Section’s Public Relations Specialist, Paula Rinaudo has been named the Section’s Director of “Wow.” The decision to establish such a position came from the Applied Strategic Planning sessions held in 2012.

Paula Rinaudo

The Director is an individual who can identify, articulate and assist in implementing those components that would bring the “Wow” to the organization. Such a person should be highly discriminating, very observant and understand the subtleties that add value, demonstrate Wow in their professional life, personal life, have high emotional intelligence, be an excellent listener and communicator, have an excellent concept of customer service and attention to detail, and is tuned in to the desires of the membership.

In the specific case of our Section the Director of Wow will help improve communication and contact with our Fellows, create a sense of value of Fellowship, help improve the professional look of publications, letters and correspondence, generate positive messaging including written, e-mails and web content, continuously improve presentations, communications, office appearance, on site appearance, and ensure that our core values are reflected in all we do.

he ICD White Coat message has now been presented in dental schools across the country for over ten years. The ceremony in which dental and hygiene students receive the white jackets

or coats is symbolic of the transition of the student from didactic studies into the clinical responsibility of treatment of patients. The ICD message explains how the relationship and establishment of leadership and professionalism will directly affect and benefit the student during their structured academic years as well as in the years after graduation.

Specifically, the message charges the students to be skilled, honest, moral and ethical in their treatment of patients. “We are truly a profession”, it says, “and not a trade, thanks to the leadership of dedicated professors who teach the didactic and clinical skills; to the forward thinking researchers who bring us new and cutting edge materials and techniques; and to our Dental Organizations which bind us together and allow us to speak with united positions for the delivery of the best dental care in the world. It will always be necessary,” the students are told, “to uphold and continue to enhance our profession through a lifetime of constant learning and for them to have a strong sense of commitment to excellence, because the torch of leadership will ultimately be passed to them.”

Dr. Gerrit Hagman of Georgia created this project in 2002 and for years flew all over the country delivering his presentation. It has become one of the most successful of our activities and there is now international interest in establishing similar programs in dental schools around the globe.

for nursing, pharmacy, and public health professional education. Remember, life expectancy at that time was 47 years of age, dental schools were generally not associated with universities, nor were they “scientific.”

Being toothless was considered normal for mature adults.

am grateful for this opportunity to congratulate each of you on your outstanding contributions to our profession—Congratulations!

As you heard in the very kind introduction

by President Michael Kenney, I served as the sixth Director of the National Institute for Dental Research (NIDR) at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.

I served from July 1995 thru June 2000.

At a reception hosted by Secretary Donna Shalala at Constitution Hall late in 1995, I met the legendary Walter Cronkite. After introductions, I began to talk fast and described to Mr. Cronkite his enormous attributes and how our nation reveres all that he stands for. I rapidly highlighted his role when President John Kennedy was assassinated and how he broke the news to the nation. At this point, I needed to pause and take a breath. He graciously leaned forward and slowly asked, “And what do you do, Dr. Slavkin?”

“I’m a dentist from Los Angeles, and…”

Before I could finish my sentence, he placed both of his hands on either side of my face, leaned forward, and quietly spoke.

“I wanted to be a dentist more than anything in the world. My grandfather was a dentist and my father was a dentist.

Dentistry is a wonderful profession!

Unfortunately, we had little money during the Depression and I took a job on our town newspaper.” We then spoke for almost an hour, very unusual at Washington social gatherings of over one-thousand people in a large space. He explored what I would like to achieve while at the NIH. It was magical!

The next morning, Secretary Donna Shalala called me at my office. “So, Hal, Walter called me last night and asked if we have ever had a Surgeons General Report on the oral health of the American people.

My staff checked and we have not. So, Hal, would you and your leadership at the NIDR take the lead agency role and produce a comprehensive report, evidence-based, that

DR. HAROLD SLAVKIN

traces oral health across the lifespan, with an emphasis upon prevention that works?”

“Madam Secretary, I would love to accept your charge.” Four years later, May 2000, Surgeon General David Satcher released the Report, a Report inspired by Walter Cronkite and led and championed by my Deputy Director Dushanka Kleinman and Dr. Casswell Evans who we recruited from Los Angeles.

This afternoon, I invite each of us to reflect on three questions: (1) “Where did we come from?,” (2) “Where are we?” and (3) “Where are we going?” It is now “fact” that we parted ways with chimpanzees 6.6 million years ago.

At that time and until the beginning of the 20-century, global life expectancy was 30, and in North America, it had reached 47. By 1900, the world population was 1 billion. The most common cause of death was acute microbial infection associated with childbirth, infancy and childhood.

And, in 1900, the majority of health professional schools (medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy and public health) were proprietary (private and for profit) and significantly influenced by commercial factors. From that environment which was replete with conflicts of interests, the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations, out of New York, commissioned a series of reports, the exemplars being the Flexner Report for North American medical education in 1910, and the Gies Report for North American dental education of 1926. There were also comparable reports

Within this environment, leaders from our profession came together on December 31st 1927, New Year’s Eve, in Chicago, Illinois, and the International College of Dentists was officially created as a joint concept between an American, Louis Ottofy, and a Japanese, Tsurukichi Okumura. There were 250 dental professionals accepted as Fellows from 162 different countries.

The stated criteria for Fellowship read as follows: “Please nominate the ablest, most progressive, best educated, ethical practitioner in your country, regardless of his place of domicile, nationality, race, color or religion.” Importantly, seven years earlier, August 20th 1920, at the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston, a similar group of dental professionals were also seeking a more ethical and professional health profession.

They created the American College of Dentists. The Gies Report was published in 1926 and the “1920s Era” gave birth to the creation of dentistry as a science-based, evidence-oriented profession, to be aligned with universities and the highest ideals of ethics and academic rigor. Through education, informal meetings, letters, journals (the Journal of Dental Research, the Journal of Dental Education, and Journals of the American and various International Dental Associations), as well as annual national, international and local scientific and technology conferences, meetings, and study clubs, these notions proliferated and spread around the world. Imagine, this took place without iPads, iPhones and the Internet!

That’s where we were 110 years ago.

Where are we today? For a moment consider Sweden’s lifespan statistics.

Sweden has extraordinary health records spanning 200 years. A Swede born in 1800 could expect to live 32 years. By 1900, the average Swede lived to 52 years. Today, the Swedish lifespan is 82 years—an increase (Continued on page 22) THE KEY/2013

I N T E R N AT I O N A L

HAROLD SLAVKIN CONVOCATION ADDRESS of more than 150% in just over 200 years.

This remarkable advance was not due to genetic mutations. Rather, this “miracle” is the result of sustained international investments in personal hygiene, water and air quality improvements, nutrition and food safety, prenatal care, early childhood and K-12 education, immunizations, air conditioning, and, yes, fluoridation, all of which collectively improved the human condition, reduced mortality and morbidity, and gave hope for a better tomorrow.

Today, throughout the industrial countries of the world, people increasingly live longer and better than ever before. And, yes, the quality of oral health care has also profoundly advanced, especially during the last half of the 20th century. More people in the industrial nations of the world have more remaining teeth as they reach the 8th decade of life than ever before.

The 20th century was transformational!

And despite our justified reasons to celebrate these accomplishments in oral health care, all too many people have been left behind with respect to the prevalence of diseases, including oral health diseases and disorders. Today, we acknowledge that a variety of socioeconomic determinants control morbidity and mortality.

The global population has reached 7 billion people; a 7-fold increase since 1900. Of these 7 billion people, nearly 2 billion are over the age of 65 years. Shockingly, 10% of the population consumes 70% of the health resources of most industrial nations.

More than 1.5 billion are without the basic resources of clean water, sanitation, or health care. Almost 2 billion people live in poverty, many living on less than $1 dollar per day.

In the United States, the third largest country in the world, a country of 310 million people, we provide outstanding oral health care for 2¼3 of our population, yet 110 million people are without access to needed oral health services. Today, 25% of our nation’s children live in poverty.

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic disease of American children - - - “the silent epidemic” resulting in severe pain, loss of learning hours at school, and even death. Today, 1 ¼3 of our nation’s population are obese.

Obese children develop hypertension, ironically “adult onset diabetes,” and cardiovascular diseases. Obesity has become epidemic in the industrial nations of the world, along with depression, diabetes, 22

and cardiovascular diseases. Collectively, these preventable “man-made diseases” are beginning to reduce life expectancy for many people in the industrial nations of the world.

Where are we going? I have focused on these health disparities in order to be an advocate, to encourage each of us to engage in solutions. How can we ensure that wellness for all people in each of our countries is in the global self-interest.

In too many parts of the world, we have gone “off track” and, once recognized, the emerging global and national demographics offer leadership opportunities. Of course, I’m speaking to you who are leaders, you who have already demonstrated numerous contributions to your communities and nations. My thesis is that we must do more.

We need to think about global, national as well as local problems and find innovations that can put the human condition back on track for all people in all nations.

We are assembled in California, in the Bay Area, and, in particular here in San Francisco where innovation is ubiquitous.

Following the initiation of the Grand Rapids, Michigan clinical study to test the effectiveness of water fluoridation in 1948, San Francisco was one of the first major US cities to fluoridate its water supply in 1950.

The people of San Francisco understood prevention. By the way, fluoridation saves $4 billion dollars each year in dental costs in the United States. This is the region that translated the scientific accomplishments from the digital revolution into industrial and consumer products such as those from Apple, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, and Dell. The Bay area gave birth to the biotechnology industry with the creation of Genentech in Emeryville, next to Oakland, just across the Bay in 1977. Genentech created the very first recombinant DNA product, which was human insulin for the treatment of diabetes. Innovation is the methodology to reduce or eliminate the various insults to our human condition.

Finally, as we look forward to the future, where are we going? How can we optimize the human condition? Specifically, through my lens, we need to “put the mouth back into the rest of the body.” From my perspective, this means our universities need to be reconfigured and we need to eliminate silos and create interdisciplinary or trans-professional learning environments.

We need to engage in interdisciplinary team approach which was first demonstrated by

an orthodontist named Herbert Cooper in Lancaster, Pennsylvania when he created the very first craniofacial teams to address the special needs of infants presenting cleft lip and/or cleft palate in the late 1930s.

In Cooper’s model, physicians, dentists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, speech and hearing therapists, educators and families all worked together for the welfare, health and habilitation of the child - - - team work that often spanned 17-20 years in the life of the child patient and their families.

Can we envision a future when tooth decay is eradicated, when human behaviors and choices result in reducing oral cancers?

Can we reduce periodontal diseases?

Can we invest, through innovations, in reducing the tragic consequences of chronic facial pain? Can we design a strategy for all children to gain a healthy smile for a lifetime? Can we work closely with our colleagues in the other health professions to improve diabetes, reduce premature low birth weight babies, reduce osteoporosis, reduce obesity, eliminate tobacco products, and reduce cardiovascular diseases?

In order for patients to receive the best possible care, health professional education and practices must reflect the changing health needs of the population they serve, and the changing environment in which care is provided. In the US, 25% of physicians are foreign educated. Almost 40% of all nuts and cheeses found in the USA are imported. Flowers, food, people, and microbes cross the Pacific and Atlantic oceans everyday. Microbial infections do not recognize boundaries between nations.

Health is a global matter! The future demands multinational, multidisciplinary approaches to exploring promising innovations in health professional education and practices. I implore you to connect with your health sciences schools and engage in changes that transform education to strengthen health care in an increasing interdependent world. We need to spark groundbreaking reforms. We need to form coalitions and not tolerate fragmented and often static organizations. We must broaden our horizons. Through your efforts, your work and your motivation, we can and will make a difference! We will leave the world better and healthier than we found it!

his will be the first time the ICD USA Section Annual Meeting and Convocation have been in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina and the Big Easy is back.

This city seduces you with its French Quarter, world-class cuisine, jazz bars and jazz funerals, colorful streetcars, paddlewheel steamboats, the Garden district, horse-drawn carriages, Crescent of the mighty Mississippi, Cajuns and Creoles, Bourbon Street, voodoo parlors, Mardis Gras, cast-iron balconies and literary heritage. A thorough list of temptations would cover several pages.

Our annual Convocation and Dinner Program will be celebrated at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel at 500 Canal Street. The Fellowship Orientation Program will be on October 31 and the Convocation and Banquet will be held on November 1, 2013. Please keep your eyes open for the exact time of activities in the communications you receive from the ICD. The first suggestion of New Orleans’ distinct cultural heritage emerges with the knowledge that it was named for Philippe II, Duc d’Orleans, Regent of France under Louis XV. French and Spanish architectural styles dominate the old district’s narrow streets which open onto Jackson Square, the central plaza that features a bronze of Andrew Jackson who defended the city in the War of 1812. This neighborhood also boasts St. Louis Cathedral, the old U.S. Mint, shady courtyards, the US Custom House, Basin and Bourbon Streets, the Café Du Monde for café au lait and beignets, sidewalk jazz quartets and incredible restaurants.

Check www.neworleansonline.com or www.louisianaswamp.com for more information.

If you’ve never been to New Orleans before, here is your chance to see this American treasure. Join us this year to renew old friendships, experience the camaraderie, honor Horsedrawn carriages on Jackson our new Fellows and enjoy the banquet, music and dancing.

William O. Butler, MS, Honorary Fellow

William O. Butler

William O. Butler of San Antonio, Texas has been named an Honorary Fellow of the ICD. He has been the Director for Continuing Dental Education at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio since 1994. He developed a master plan that involved expansion of program offerings and intense marketing efforts. The immediate goal was to grow an already successful program and set higher standards for providers in Continuing Education. The plan worked. The current program offers over 260 educational opportunities each year, registers over 9,000 participants annually, and has an active database of over 60,000 dental professionals. That says a lot for a school that has a little over 3,000 graduates.

A native of Salina, Kansas, he received his B.S. in 1972 and his M.S. in 1974 from Kansas State University. He had successful careers in Athletic Administration, medical post-graduate education, and with the Whittaker Corporation before taking on the challenges at Kansas State University Community Education Program. He was able to develop and implement a marketing plan that has created a new image for Community Education. The program received national attention for its uniqueness and creative approach to programming and business minded attitude to budgeting. Because of his success with improving financial operations, he was hired for the Director’s position at the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Dentistry. He developed a master plan that tripled not only attendance but income for the school and became self-supporting. A big challenge for dental school CE programs.

The professionally created Promotional Video is being developed to reflect the passion, richness, heritage, and projects of the USA Section and underscore the significance and Value of Fellowship. A professional firm, The Big Picture, was selected as our production company and our Districts have contributed toward this project. Much of the filming was completed over a two-day period in San Francisco at the BOR meeting. This video is expected to be available after the 2013 Spring BOR Meeting for distribution to our Districts, Fellows, future candidates, the profession, and potential sponsors.

This fall we started the second Memorial level as a way to salute the memory of Dr. Richard Shaffer.

This requires a bulk gift of at least $500 and for this gift you will receive a beautifully struck coin with Dick’s likeness on one side. This coin comes in its own beautiful handmade pouch which was made from the material of the retired Convocation Robes, plus all of this is accompanied with a wonderful description about all that you are getting and the symbolism that it carries.

ell it is time to speak of the progress and happenings of 2012 in your Foundation. We have launched several fund raising events, and so far they have been successful. We have started a “KEY ROOM” (see page 36) where we sell goods with the Key ICD Logo on them. We are selling these items to raise money, but more importantly, we are also trying to raise your pride level in this organization. This Foundation does so much to further the projects of our Section—primarily, the outreach projects. We understand that as pride of this Organization grows, we will see an increase in giving to your Foundation in order to push our outreach programs or to continue them and increase them. To this end in our fund raising efforts, we have begun to create new levels of giving to honor the memory of two of our finest. First, in the Spring we started the $1000 giving level which we called the Dr. John Lathrop Memorial giving level. The first one hundred donors at the thousand dollar level will be designated “Founders” and each will receive a beautifully framed selection of five or six dental postal stamps from around the world. These come from John’s personal collection and they are a wonderful conversational piece when placed on your wall at home or in the office.

we tricked Dick into writing part of this, so you just may notice the phraseology for which Dick was known. Who knows… it could be that the pouch you receive with your coin is made from the robe you wore when you were inducted.

So come on Fellows, let us each send in our financial support and help grow the corpus of your Foundation.

Just think you could have one or both of these nice nostalgic gifts just for supporting your Foundation.

Also, for those of you who wish, you could send in a lesser but appropriate amount and receive a Polo Shirt, ball cap, golf hat, denim shirt, back pack, tie or any other item which we may be adding in the future to the “KEY ROOM”. Come and show your pride in your Fellowship and buy at least one item and then wear it to future meetings as a testament of your pride.

Now, let us talk about what else has happened this year as your Foundation has moved forward.

I have set a goal of having our Corpus at the $3 million+ level by the time my term as President is complete and I am only about one third of the way to meeting that goal. I need your help.

Did you know that we were only able to give Grants for amounts that were about one third of what was requested this year? There are a lot of needs and we are doing our best to select the causes that best meet our Criteria.

There is so much more to do and we were unable to achieve that at the present level of giving. The needs are out there and we must get stronger, bigger and better in order to do what it takes to get the job done. Please know that the Board of Trustees is not asking you to do anything we have not already done ourselves. Personally, I know you care, I know you want to make this Foundation a big success, I know you take great pride in having been honored as a Fellow, and I have a feeling you want to help and help

in a big way. So sit down while it is on your mind, and write a significant check today. You will be happy you did, the Foundation will be happy you did, and the Grant recipients will be overjoyed. Together we can do all that needs doing in our Profession. We can help broaden the knowledge of Dentistry, we can help the underserved patients who are in need, we can enrich the dental student experience by exposing them to other dental cultures throughout the world in our exchange program, and you can bring honor to all our Fellows because we are truly a caring and giving Organization.

he USA Section of the ICD is looking for corporate sponsors to help fund its humanitarian and other projects and programs and we are asking for your help.

If you know of a company with core values similar to those of Integrity, Leadership and Service or a company with a Foundation having a Mission and Goals comparable to those of our ICD USA Foundation, it is possible that company would consider supporting one of our projects or programs.

As other components of the ICD, such as the College at Large, are also seeking corporate sponsorship it is important that the initial contact be coordinated. If several Fellows were to unknowingly solicit a company at the same time, none may end up receiving support.

The best course is to call the Section Office at (301) 251-8861 with your suggestion. They will inform the finance committee which will ensure that a grant request is properly completed and submitted. They will also check to confirm that no other part of the ICD has already approached the possible sponsor.

Robert E. Brady, DMD, Master Fellow Robert E. Brady was honored with Master Fellowship at the 2012 annual meeting in San Francisco.

Robert E. Brady Upon graduation from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1965, Dr. Brady was commissioned as a Captain in the United States Army.

He became a board certified prosthodontist and rose through the ranks to become a General before retiring with great distinction from the US Army Dental Corps. He has published a dozen articles, directed a Residency Training Program, presented papers, run many clinics and holds membership in eight professional organizations. He has also received the US Army Distinguished Service Medal, two Legions of Merit and two Bronze Star medals.

Dr. Brady was inducted into Fellowship in the College in 1991. During the period 1999 to 2010 Dr. Brady served as Registrar of the USA Section of the International College of Dentists, and as its Secretary General worked with leaders from Sections around the world. During that time frame the College grew from 9,600 to 10,650 Fellows, and added two new Autonomous Sections.

The USA Section (2004) and the Worldwide College (2008) surveyed its Board members, Councilors and constituent leaders. All reviews and surveys were extremely complimentary of Dr. Brady and his staff for their diplomatic, efficient way of handling the needs of Sections and Regions around the world. Dr. Brady was a fountain of knowledge and suggestions, as well as an invaluable source of corporate information and guidance in the creation of an independent central office to serve the needs of the ICD. Due to his outstanding assistance, the transition to a new office was as seamless as possible.

Dr. Brady and his tremendously supportive wife Janet personify the very spirit and essence of collegiality envisioned by the College founders. Their dedication and loyalty to the objectives of the College reflect the visions and aspirations of those prominent Master Fellow recipients who came before them. His distinguished career in the profession, outstanding leadership in the military and exemplary service to the College has made Dr. Robert E. Brady an international beacon that has successfully guided the ICD. His contributions have been many and enduring, and will continue to have tremendous impact on the welfare and progress of the College, the Section and on a worldwide basis, for many years to come.

This year’s winner is James Phero of the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry.

His report on “The Moldova Project” earned our $300 award. It was a very thoughtful and complete perspective on his experience in Moldova. James wrote “In addition to clinic work, the one thing that struck me the most about the Moldova project was that it was a partnership not a mission trip.

This is not to say we did not treat a lot of individuals of need and raise money for supplies and the trip, it meant we worked together to treat these children, sharing philosophies and techniques with each other.”

“The Moldova Project was an experience that had a large impact on me and will be remembered for the rest of my life.

I am very blessed to be part of such a wonderful team and will do everything I can to help next year’s project and future teams to continue this partnership with Moldova.”

Nice work James – and Congratulations!

There were two UNC dental students, two Moldovan dental students, and a faculty that ran this site for the four to five days that we were able to treat patients. The second site is the Laloveni clinic which is a boarding school for children with mobility and mental impairment. The children live here and are taken care of by specialists where they receive therapy sessions to help with their impairments. At this site there was one UNC dental student, one or two Moldovan students, and a faculty treating the kids. The last site was set up to treat the children from the local Jewish community.

There were a lot of large composite restorations placed (the Moldovan dental school preaches amalgam free dentistry so without amalgamators there was really no ability to place amalgam restorations), extractions, and in the case of a few individuals endodontic therapy. While we did not have the time to address all the dental needs of every child coming through I was able to make sure that every child I treated had sealants or restorations on all of their permanent molars to protect against future occlusal decay.

To go along with this I think having the ability to have a translator talk about oral hygiene will have a big impact in the future.

it which led to sharing of techniques. We did much more than treat patients in need, we built relationships. I speak with Moldovans I met through this experience on a regular basis through email and Skype and have created lifelong friendships.

One friendship in particular that was very meaningful for me was my friendship with Roman. I am pursuing a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery in the US and Roman is pursuing the same career in Moldova. His father is the head of oral and maxillofacial surgery in the country of Moldova and I was blessed enough to have the opportunity to spend a day with both of them at the children’s hospital where they treat a lot of facial deformities like cleft lip and palate.

In addition to clinic work, the one thing that struck me the most about the Moldova project was that it was a partnership not a mission trip. This is not to say we did not treat a lot of individuals of need and raise money for supplies and the trip, it meant we worked together to treat these children, sharing philosophies and techniques with each other. A unique aspect about the project is this partnership begins long before we touched down in Moldova. There is an exchange program where Moldovan dental students will come to the University of North Carolina and spend time with UNC dental students through the clinic and outside activities. I was lucky enough to spend time with both Roman and Corina who were two upper level dental students from Moldova who came on this trip. It was a great experience to get to know them and share our school and city with them. We continued to stay in touch

used in Moldova as well as to look through old cases to see their results. I was blown away by the results they were able to obtain, especially considering the equipment they have available. Besides a modern anesthesia machine, there was not a lot of “high tech” equipment at their disposal which would be common in an operating room in the US. They were for the most part able to do their procedures with suction and steel which is vastly different from the electrocautery and other equipment that we use in the US. I have a great deal of respect for the surgeons I met and I plan on going back later in my oral surgery career to perform surgery with the Moldovans so that I can learn their techniques on how to obtain great results with limited equipment. Mission trips will be part of my practice so learning these techniques from Roman and his father will be invaluable.

DISTRICT 2 NEW YORK

Editor: Jeffrey Galler Hurricane Sandy’s flood waters had barely receded from the Jacob Javits Center, when the newly restored facility was inundated with a surge of enthusiastic attendees at the Sunday, November 25, 2012 District 2 Annual Luncheon.

According to District 2 Regent Dr. Robert Seminara who chaired the event, the highlight of the luncheon was the address of guest speaker Dr. Charles N. Bertolami, Dean of the New York University College of Dentistry. In his timely analysis of “Mid-Level Providers in Dentistry,” Dr. Bertolami discussed what is likely to transpire in the near future, why these changes are almost inevitable, and how these changes might affect our profession.

DENTISTRY’S FUTURE The dean explained that due to economic, demographic, public relations, and public policy factors, some form of “managed care is coming because it has been an inevitable trend over the past decades,” and that the “public gets what the public wants,” although that result is “not necessarily what it needs or what is best.”

In elucidating why he felt that dental therapists were inevitably going to become part of the dental delivery system in the United States, he enumerated factors that can be stipulated as being true: first, there is a perception that there is a significant problem with access to dental care in the United States; second, that news reports of children dying because of untreated dental disease is unacceptable; third, the public will accept a two-tier system of care, where the public will accept that some care is better than no care at all.

Further, Dr. Bertolami stipulated that what might be true, is that it is unlikely that there will be a significant difference in the quality of care rendered by either a dental therapist or dentist; that the emergence of dental therapists will not lead to competing independent practices; and, that the population will find the T H E K E Y / 2 013

61

I N T E R N AT I O N A L C O L L E G E O F D E N T I S T S care rendered by dental therapists to be acceptable.

In spite of all these factors, he expressed his strong feelings that the creation of the new, dental therapist position will utterly fail to improve access to dental care. He likened the situation to improved technology in dentistry. The new technology increases the quality of care, but neither increases the efficiency of dental care delivery nor lowers the cost of dental care.

Instead, he explained, the only way to lower the cost of dental services is to lower the cost of labor. And that, he elucidated, is actually the underlying motivation for creating this new, dental therapist position.

Remaining questions that have yet to be determined, according to Dr. Bertolami, are: 1) What will be the scope of their practice? 2) What will be their educational background? 3) Will they require a supervising dentist to be on the premises, or will remote consultation or supervision be permitted?

After analyzing all of the seemingly obvious, and not so obvious, trends present today, Dr. Bertolami concluded that, in his opinion, the result of the inevitable appearance of dental therapists will be that society will continue to have the same exact problems with access to care, but that dentistry will be delivered at lower cost to the public.

LEADERSHIP In addressing the filled-to-capacity room, Dr. Chad Gehani, President of the New York Chapter of the ICD, remarked that this annual luncheon should really be called the “Anthony Di Mango Luncheon,” in recognition of his decades-long leadership, and in appreciation for his arranging the event annually.

“Dr. Di Mango,” said Dr. Gehani, “is a born leader, who is always ready to serve and assist in so very many capacities.”

Dr. Robert Faiella, President of the American Dental Association, discussed the many challenges facing the profession, and thanked the International College of Dentists, whose “work assures that we are an organization without borders.”

Dr. Robert Seminara, Regent of the New York District of the ICD, proudly announced that District 2 had inducted

62 T H E K E Y / 2 013

20 new Fellows this past year. In introducing ICD President Dr. Michael Kenney, he praised the president for his sincerity, his leadership, his love for and understanding of what Fellowship actually means, and commended his strategic plan, that is so central to the ICD new global initiatives.

Dr. Kenney discussed the ICD mission statement and goals, and the practical application of the organization’s strategic plan.

DISTINGUISHED GUESTS In a room filled with VIP’s, the chair recognized and introduced some of the leadership present.

In addition to American Dental Association President Dr. Robert Faiella, also present were Immediate Past-President of the ADA Dr. William Calnon, and ADA Trustees Dr. Steven Gounardes, Dr. Maxine Feinberg, and Dr. Charles Weber.

Other dignitaries who attended the luncheon were Dr. Ernesto Acuna, President of the Pierre Fauchard Academy; Dr. Deborah Weisfuse, President of the New York State Dental Association; Dr. Richard Rausch, General Chairman of the Greater New York Dental Meeting; Dr. John Halikias, Advisory Chairman of the Greater New York Dental Meeting; and Dr. Robert Edwab, Executive Director of the Greater New York Dental Meeting.

Toward the end of his trip he had raised over $65,000, well on the way toward a hoped-for $75,000 helping nearly 300 children! More information on Winston’s amazing trek can be seen at smiletrek.org.

We were honored to have two new Fellows join our ranks in San Francisco, Lorraine Celis, chair of the very active IDA Communications Committee and Jack Drone, IDA Editor. Congratulations and welcome to both!

He was given the award to recognize both his professionalism and his dedication as a philanthropist.

Fellow Ron Lemmo was awarded the Distinguished Dentist Award, the highest award given by the Ohio Dental Association. Ron has been a tireless leader for organized dentistry and has served in an exceptional number of leadership positions in the Cleveland Dental Society, the Ohio Dental Association and the American Dental Association.

Continuing on in his strong leadership track, Ron was elected Treasurer of the American Dental Association by the 2012 ADA House of Delegates. It was an exciting moment for Ron and the Seventh District and we are very proud of his accomplishment.

Each year the ICD presents a Student Leadership Award to one student at every dental school in the country. The school faculty selects the student who shows outstanding leadership and academic and professional growth during their dental student experience. The Ohio Chapter of the ICD extends its congratulations to this year’s winners: Brittney Dru Andress of Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, and Anne K. Johnson of The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.

The Eighth District was the proud host of a Humanitarian Seminar on Volunteerism.

A recent study indicated that a significant number of our Fellows wanted information on how to get involved in various humanitarian dental projects. In response to this need, the seminar titled “International Volunteer Dental Projects: What’s It All About” was held in Chicago on February 22, 2013, in conjunction with the Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting. The speakers

I CD D I STR I CT R E P ORTS were Dr. Francis (Frank) Serio along with Eighth District Fellow Dr. Mark Humenik.

The seminar highlighted the nuts and bolts of organizing various dental humanitarian programs. The eighth district was very pleased to be able to hold this seminar in Chicago, the very first of its kind. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Chicago Dental Society for their gracious support of this event, and look forward to many more of its kind.

In Keeping with the theme of volunteerism, the Illinois State Dental Society Foundation, along with the CURE Network, hosted the second Mission of Mercy in Illinois. The two day event took place June 8-9, 2012 at the Lake County Fairgrounds.

The event was co-chaired by two of our eighth district Fellows: Dr. Mark Humenik of Northbrook, Illinois; and Dr. Bradley Barnes of Normal, Illinois. Over 2,000 patients were treated during the mission, with nearly 1,300 dental encounters. Many of our District Fellows were among the volunteers at this Mission. The planning is already taking place for our next Mission of Mercy to be held in Peoria, Illinois in 2014.

The International College of Dentists Convocation took place in beautiful San Francisco on Friday, October 19, 2012.

Our new Fellows were called forth by our Eighth District Regent, Dr. Peter Paulson. We are proud to welcome our new Fellows to the College: Dr. Alice G. Boghosian, Niles, Illinois; Dr. Maria Fe Corpuz-Bato, Gurnee, Illinois; Dr. Dean W . Drake, Fairview Heights, Illinois; Dr. Gary M. Fischer, Collinsville, Illinois; Dr. Denise D. Hale, Palos Hills, Illinois; Dr. Gary R. Herberger, Canton, Illinois; Dr. James M. Maragos, LaGrange, Illinois & Dr. Randall C. Markarian, Swansea, Illinois.

Congratulations to you all and welcome!

Illinois ICD Class of 2012

The White Coat Ceremony at Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine We honored our new Fellows that evening in San Francisco with dinner and dancing alongside our colleagues from around the globe. We again honored them at our annual New Fellow dinner that is held along with our Eighth District American College of Dentists colleagues. The dinner took place on November 8, 2012 at the DoubleTree

by Hilton Hotel in Oak Brook, Illinois. We enjoyed an interesting talk by our own Dr. Robert J. Manasse. Dr. Manasse is a clinical associate professor in the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and is also a private practitioner of Orthodontics. He has travelled and lectured both nationally and internationally, and we were treated to a lecture and slides from his latest travels to China.

We were happy to again spend time with our ACD colleagues over breakfast on Saturday, September 8, 2012 in Schaumburg, Illinois in conjunction with the Illinois State Dental Society Annual Session. The speaker for the breakfast was Dr. Thomas R. Prince, Professor Emeritus of Health Industry Management and also Accounting Information and Management at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. It is always a pleasure to spend time with our colleagues and friends throughout the state, while at the same time broadening our horizons!

Like any organization, ICD will ultimately depend on our younger generations to keep the group thriving. Our students are our future leaders and the two of our Illinois dental schools held White Coat Ceremonies to honor those students whose bright futures are ahead of them.

The University of Illinois at Chicago held their White Coat ceremony on August 24, 2012 in the student center at the dental

school. The class of 2016 proudly received their white coats, as did the International Dentist Program class of 2014, but not before hearing inspirational remarks from our Regent Dr. Peter Paulson, as well as our new Deputy Regent Dr. Susan Bishop.

Dr. Bishop spoke on behalf of the Illinois State Dental Society Foundation.

Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine hosted their White Coat Ceremony for the Class of 2016 on October 6, 2012 at the Hatheway Cultural Center, Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, Illinois. Dr. Robert Bitter, Immediate Past President of the Illinois State Dental Society and also an ICD Fellow, gave the keynote address. We congratulate our students, and wish them luck in all of their future endeavors.

There are two students who warrant special recognition. These students were awarded the ICD Student Leadership Awards from each of their respective dental schools. We are proud to congratulate Shane D. Ruggless from Southern Illinois University school of Dental Medicine, and Scott Schwartz from University of Illinois at Chicago.

The Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting is the backdrop for our annual ICD/ACD luncheon. This event brings not only a large number of our Fellows, but also several dignitaries from both ICD and ACD, as well as the American Dental Association.

We were welcomed with remarks given by then Chicago Dental Society President Dr. John Gerding. In addition to camaraderie, this luncheon gives us the opportunity to present the Thaddeus V. Weclew Award. The 2012 recipient of this honor was Dr. Chauncey Cross of Springfield, Illinois.

Dr. Cross has served the dental profession at the local, state and national levels.

She states the drop-out rate by the fifth year of dental school is 20%. The class days went smoothly except for one week each month where there were intense discussions on treatment plans. She notes that Danish dental students learn a more varied number of procedures such as implant placement and surgical and orthodontic procedures that are reserved for specialists in the U.S. We look forward to another successful year for the Minnesota Chapter of the International College, we hope once again for a minimal loss of life for our geriatric members.

The Minnesota Chapter takes great pride in its support of our dental students serving as foreign exchange students.

This year we heard reports from: Deepthi Mundra, a student raised in India and settled in Trinidad, who spent her internship in Germany. She was amazed at the lengths the teachers would go to save seemingly hopeless teeth, through some extraordinary endodontic technique not taught in our dental schools.

Ryan Mueller interned in Greifswald, Germany. Ryan was pleased to explore his German heritage. He especially was impressed with the clinical techniques of his colleagues and enjoyed travelling throughout the country and visiting the home town of his great-grandparents.

Maria Bulat interned in Aarhus, Denmark. Maria has lived in Kyrgyzstan, Russia and the U.S., so she is used to culture shock. Denmark was quite pleasant for

Henry St. Germain, Joan Sivers, and Myron Pudwill, Counselors.

The Nebraska Chapter continued its philanthropic efforts through the year, which included sponsoring student scholarships for deserving senior dental students at the Creighton School of Dentistry and the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry. Research scholarships were also supported for both institutions.

The Nebraska Chapter of the ICD continued its support of the Nebraska Mission of Mercy (NMOM), a charitable dental clinic for our state’s less fortunate. The NMOM, held in Alliance, Nebraska in July of 2012, and treated about 750 patients and provided over $425,000 worth of free dental care to the needy of the western part of our state. Many Nebraska Chapter ICD dentists participated in the wonderful two day event. In addition to participating in our local and statewide charitable dental clinics for the betterment of mankind, many Nebraska Chapter ICD

dentists volunteered in national and international dental charity clinics in 2012. These charitable efforts included Mission of Mercy clinics in other states and foreign country dental charity efforts, including an ongoing outreach in Hinche, Haiti.

The Nebraska Chapter of the ICD is looking forward to August of 2013, where we are supporting the Nebraska Mission of Mercy which will be held in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Mike Goebel maintains a pediatric dental practice with his son Bryce in Bismarck. Bryce is pictured presenting the award to his father. Dr. Goebel is well respected in North Dakota for his dedication to providing compassionate care to children regardless of their socioeconomic status or home situation. He has worked with the dental association in helping to guide the Health and Human Services Department on dental reimbursement so that children are given priority. Mike Goebel writes: “I see the innocence of children and their lack of dental experiences as an opportunity to introduce dentistry as a pleasant part of health care. Each age provides a different challenge and reward. I honestly love the very young children as much as the seasoned school-aged children.” Karen and Mike have four children. Drew will join his father and brother as a pediatric dentist in July.

Editor: Curtis Johnson Tom Peterson and wife, Sandi, Sioux Falls, continue to spend time traveling and enjoying friends and family. Retirement seems to be agreeing with the Petersons!

Mel Thaler and his wife, Loo, have joined the Petersons in retirement and plan to spend a lot of time traveling and (of course) playing golf.

Former South Dakota Dental Association Executive Director and Honorary ICD Fellow, Trudy Feigum, continues to enjoy her retirement of 14 years with her husband, Tom. They reside right off the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia and continue to enjoy sailing, kayaking, walking and traveling by car to visit children and grandchildren. Annually, the Feigums drive to the Four Freshmen Society conventions at different sites around the nation.

Their two sons, Craig and Christopher, and their families reside in Minnesota and Virginia, respectively. Craig is involved with the current Bakken Field oil boom, hauling prefab houses and office structures to North Dakota and Canada from Minnesota.

Christopher continues his opera career, performing twice this year at the Met. He was performing there when Hurricane Sandy passed through New York City. The performance (ironically, “The Tempest”) went on as scheduled.

At the ICDUSA Section Annual Convocation in San Francisco in October, Lori Larsen of Sioux Falls was inducted into the College. Also at the October meeting of the Board of Regents in Lori Larsen San Francisco, Curtis Johnson, Scotland, was elected PresidentElect of the USA Section.

A number of South Dakota ICD Fellows have joined other South Dakota Dental Association members to participate in the “Smile with PRIDE” project, putting more volunteers and contract dentists in Indian Health Service clinics around the state. Sioux San IHS Dental Clinic in Rapid City, Rosebud IHS Dental Clinic and St. Francis Mission Dental Clinic on the Rosebud Reservation and the Head Start program on the Standing Rock reservation have been identified as the four volunteerism sites for 2013. During each event a handful of dentists, dental assistants and dental hygienists will volunteer for two or three days at each site. Ultimately, the SDDA plans to replicate the events across all nine reservations at various times of year. The volunteerism project goes handin-hand with a larger project that includes addressing some of the worst oral health disparities in the nation through prevention and education. The “Circle of Smiles” project will focus on oral health education and prevention among young children, their parents and people with diabetes. The goal of the volunteerism project is to address the backlog of restorative care that likely will be uncovered by the hygienists and oral health coordinators doing oral health education on the reservations. Placing SDDA volunteers in IHS facilities creates a sustainable plan for addressing some of the access issues on the reservations. The long-term goal is to develop relationships between the volunteer dentists and the sites where they volunteer, with the hope that the relationship would lead to standing invitations to volunteer, or even work toward a contract or employment situation.

Deputy Regent: John Kriz “Smile of Excellence” awards were presented to two notable volunteers of the Coeur d’Alene area at the ICD Breakfast in Coeur d’Alene at the Idaho State Dental Association annual meeting. These awards are given annually from the Idaho chapter of the ICD. Seven new Fellows were inducted in San Francisco. Deputy Regent John Kriz received the Deputy Regent of the Year award with $1,500 stipend. Dr. Kriz donated the $1,500 to the ICD Foundation. A minimum of three new Fellows will be inducted in New Orleans. The Idaho ICD will meet July 15 at the Idaho State Dental Association annual meeting in Boise where “Smile of Excellence” awards will be presented.

WASHINGTON

Editor: Richard Mielke This year several Fellows of the Washington Chapter received recognition for outstanding service to often-neglected segments of our population.

Recently inducted member Peter Lubisich IV was named Citizen of the Year by the Washington State Dental Association for his work to improve access to care for low-income children. This award is given to a member of the WSDA for a significant contribution to the public outside of organized dentistry. Co-founder of his local Give Kids A Smile event, Dr. Lubisich has chaired it ever since. Childrens’ Dental Health Day involves dozens of dentists and their staff members, as well as hygienists and students and has enabled 300 children to be seen and treated in a single day, with Dr. Lubisich doing most of the pre-screening. He is also the dental director of the local Free Clinic, which provides care to children year round.

Extensive or difficult cases can be referred to nearby Oregon Health Sciences University, where Dr. Lubisich is a part-time instructor of pediatric dentistry. In large part due to his efforts, Southwest Washington no longer has a significant access issue for children. Dr. Lubisich has also been part of the group which founded the Oral Health Initiative – patterned after Project Access – to involve local dentists in caring for lowincome adults.

A l s o a 2 0 11 inductee and a past WSDA Citizen of the Year award recipient, Theresa Cheng was recognized by the WSDA in a WSDA NEWS article about her efforts to bring dental Theresa Cheng, caring care to returning veterfor our returning vets and families. ans and their families.

After reading in The Seattle Times about a badly wounded soldier coming home from Iraq, Dr. Cheng felt a call to action. She and her associate dentist now see about 30 of these patients every year on the day before Thanksgiving. Over the past five years, she has recruited a sizeable number of dentists to join her in this project, including one in Michigan! Surprisingly perhaps, one obstacle to the growth of this program was government red tape. Along the way, the participating dentists have collectively learned about post-traumatic stress disorder and how to keep affected vets comfortable in a dental setting. Dr. Cheng is

not new to helping victims of trauma. Her WSDA award in 1998 was in recognition of her care for victims of domestic violence.

It’s a big leap from the Alaska bush to the presidency of the WSDA, but Danny Warner did just that, assuming the post in September. Dr. Warner began his career as a public health dentist WSDA President flying to remote vilDanny Warner lages in Alaska, which often had no running water. After moving back to Washington State, he became involved first in local and then statewide leadership positions. He has worked especially hard to open lines of communication between dentists and state legislators, who regularly consider issues of vital importance to our profession with little understanding of the eventual consequences of the action they may take.

Serving with Dr. Warner are Fellow officers David Minahan, Greg Ogata, Bryan Edgar and Rodney Wentworth.

For his pioneering work in the field of dental fears, Peter Milgrom has received the ADA’s 2012 Norton M. Ross Award for Excellence in Clinical Research. In presenting the ADA’s top research award, then ADA President William Calnon explained that the significance of the award is that it acknowledges research that has been translated into clinical practice. Dr. Milgrom, a long-time professor and researcher at the University of Washington School of Dentistry, also co-founded our state’s Access to Baby and Child Dentistry program for low-income youngsters.

Also at the UW School of Dentistry, Joel Berg has been chosen dean after a nationwide search. Dr. Berg was previously chair of the school’s pediatric dentistry department and is president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.

In other national news, Linda Edgar is Academy of General Dentistry national president.

At our annual breakfast meeting in Seattle during the Pacific Northwest Dental Conference the student awards were announced. These go to students at the UW

Special guest speaker was Alvin B. Rosenblum, DDS, professor at the Ostrow School of Dentistry at USC. Dr. Loveridge, our immediate past Regent, was presented with his award for service to ICD and to dentistry by Regent Wayne Del Carlo. Many of us did not know that Loveridge was a B-47 pilot during the Korean War. A 1962 graduate of UOP, he practiced 42 years in Carmichael. At CDA he served as trustee and Speaker of the House of Delegates. He was awarded the Distinguished Member Award by our Sacramento component in 1983 and the ACD Fleming award for meritorious service in 2005.

Dr. Rosenblum took the audience on a journey, as he described his own educational path and dentistry’s ethics-related history during the past three decades. Rosenblum led us from the Federal Trade Commission’s influence and the busyness problem of the 1980s through today’s issues of increasing student debt and CODA’s guidelines for faculty. Today we have a new and improved CODA standard for a systematic teaching program for ethics. We also have the

American Society of Dental Ethics and the Student Professional and Ethics Club at USC, a format copied by most other dental schools. Dr. Rosenblum encouraged all of us to learn, as he has, from the history of applied teaching of ethics.

Hawaii Fellows Steve Wilhite, Nora Harmsen and Gerald Adachi

The Hawaii Chapter inducted two new members into the College this year. Gerald Adachi and Steve Wilhite joined the ranks of the Hawaii Fellows while in San Francisco.

These fine men were much deserving of their Fellowship, with all of their volunteer work within the Hawaii Dental Association.

We are proud to call them Fellows.

Arizona ICD Class of 2012 Arizona welcomes four new Fellows: Drs. Alexander Carroll (Glendale), Charlie Clark (Gilbert), Fred Olsen (Phoenix) and Stephen Sailer (Tucson). They were inducted into Fellowship during the convocation ceremony in San Francisco on October 19, 2012.

Arizona held its annual meeting in conjunction with the Western Regional Dental Convention at the Hyatt Regency

The Colorado ICD was one of the financial sponsors of the White Coat Ceremony at the Colorado University School of Dental Medicine last year. Eighty students received their White Coats symbolizing their advancement to live patient care.

opening across the United States, but these are privately run and often more costly to attend. Dr. Suzuki asked us to continue to support and mentor these young men and women and, hopefully, they will some day be ICD members as well. We were all grateful to hear Jon Suzuki’s inside look at dental education.

Our annual breakfast meeting was, as always, a great time of Fellowship and we look toward planning an enjoyable summer event for our members.

UTAH

Editor: Richard C. Engar This year’s Annual Breakfast meeting was held in conjunction with the Hawaii Dental Association meeting in Honolulu.

Ed Cassella, Deputy Regent, updated us on the Fisher House Project and the two patients we have helped with this project.

He and Larry Fujioka have donated their time and talents to the grateful residents at the Tripler Army Medical Center location.

We honored our new Fellows and then Nora Harmsen, District 14 Regent, gave an update on the national Fisher House project, our Humanitarian Outreach, and continuing education programs to be held this year at later meetings – the Chicago Midwinter and the Hinman.

Jon Suzuki, Fellow from Temple University, spoke to the audience about “Dentistry for Today and Tomorrow.” He was able to relate the many changes in education that the students now experience. They are able to attend classes on line and work with virtual models. The biggest challenges the students are now facing is that of extreme debt once they finish school.

This debt then makes it hard for them to purchase or own their own dental office.

There are also many new dental schools

Drs. Norman Rounds, Gary Yonemoto, Bill Calnon and Paul Gosar The annual meeting of the Utah Chapter of the USA Section convened its annual breakfast meeting at 7:00 a.m. in the Deer Valley Room of the Marriott Hotel on February 17, 2012. Dr. Norm Rounds, our Deputy Regent, freshly recovered from a serious car accident, welcomed special guests: ADA President Dr. Bill Calnon, 14th ADA District Trustee Dr. Gary Yonemoto, Congressman Dr. Paul Gosar of Arizona, and past-president ICDUSA Section Dr. Newell Warr. Dr. Rounds congratulated the newest group of Fellows who had recently been inducted during the ADA meeting in Las Vegas in 2011.

The first order of business was to hear from Dr. Scott Theurer, the current UDA President. He asked those ICD Fellows in attendance to think about what attracted them to the dental profession and encouraged them to help our younger colleagues avoid mistakes, help them deal with their educational debt and help them fill their empty chairs. He also covered current issues affecting dentistry in Utah that were before the Utah State Legislature, which was in session at the time of the Breakfast Meeting.

The next speaker was ICD Fellow Dr. Charles E. Foster who was serving as the UDA Convention Chair for the twenty-fourth time! Dr. Foster commented that convention Convention Chair attendance was Dr. Charles Foster excellent as usual and the Rocky Mountain Association of Orthodontists was meeting with us along with an organization of periodontists which allowed for great interaction among colleagues. Dr. Foster concluded by stating that ICD members were counted as his dearest friends.

District 14 Trustee Dr. Gary Yonemoto explained that Regent Dr. Nora Harmsen was unable to attend but asked him to report on the Fisher House Project, which correlates with an ADA goal for dentists to be involved in more humanitarian projects.

He mentioned how Dr. Harmsen was instrumental in facilitating the Fisher House project from concept to reality. He was happy to report that at the time of this meeting there were 54 “Fisher Houses” in the United States with another 16 under construction. These Fisher Houses, of course, provide a facility where the families of wounded warriors – our U.S. Veterans – have a place to stay at no charge while their soldier heroes receive necessary medical treatment. The ICD role is to provide emergency or palliative care at no charge to these family members. ICD Fellow Dr. Lea Erickson commented that there is a Fisher House associated with the Veterans Administration Hospital in Salt Lake City.

ADA President Bill Calnon greeted those present and remarked how he has enjoyed his interactions with ICD members in his home state of New York. He encouraged the ICD members present to reach out to younger colleagues and strive to make the Utah ICD Chapter relevant to younger professionals. He concluded his remarks by asserting that the ADA vision for 2012 is to be collaborative, proactive and assertive.

Dr. Paul Gosar, one of few dentists serving in Congress, addressed our members and emphasized what a privilege it was

I CD D I STR I CT R E P ORTS for him to represent a portion of Arizona as well as the dental profession. He commented how organized dentistry plays a great role in promoting concerns of the organization and serves as a great example to medicine and other professions. He commented how he is a product of dentistry and mentors such as Dr. A. J. Smith.

Dr. Smith was the concluding speaker and complimented Dr. Gosar for his tenacity in getting after issues that involve dentistry and working hard to represent us.

Speaking of representation, the Utah ICD Chapter was very enthused to learn of Dr. Smith’s candidacy for ADA President-Elect and enthusiastically pledged support for his campaign when it was announced near the end of 2012.

DISTRICT 15 TEXAS

Regent: Bill Birdwell District 15 has had a great year. A “first time ever” Texas officers planning retreat was held in Dallas last July to discuss present and future projects. The impetus for such a meeting was the forward thinking strategic plan of the USA Section! Officers also discussed membership enhancement and retention and identification of new Fellows. In July 2013 the officers will meet at Miramont Country Club in Bryan, Texas, to continue the tradition.

Great Expectations is just getting bigger and better with more faculty and private practice mentors and more events and interaction with students at all three Texas dental schools. In October and November, kickoff events were held and the yearly calendars were presented to the students.

In January, during our annual District breakfast, USA Section President Paul Stubbs was on hand to don the traditional Stetson presented by Regent Bill Birdwell.

Dr. Stubbs gave his vision for his presidency that was totally connected to the new strategic plan. We were also fortunate to have Dr. Robert Faiella, ADA President, in attendance to share a few words. A highlight of the meeting was a presentation of the ICD President’s award to Dr. C. Moody Alexander. Dr. Kevin Seidler presented the

Texas ICD Class of 2012 prestigious award to Dr. Alexander as the founder and organizer of Great Expectations which has been adopted by almost every District over the past four years.

Steve Matteson, our Editor, has done it again! When the Journalism Awards were handed out, he received first place in Division I for a recent article in the Texas Dental Journal.

We continue to develop relationships with the House Managers of the six Fisher Houses in Texas, hoping that we are able to provide emergent care to families of military personnel receiving medical care at military bases and Veterans Hospitals.

In closing, I have to give big Texas brags to Dr. Paul Stubbs who is our newest shining star, having been recently crowned as ICD USA President in San Francisco.

Richard Smith continues to exude star power as he serves multiple roles in the USA and College at Large. Leighton Wier’s star has not lost its luster as he lives on in the role of International Councilor. Risé Martin is our newest star, excelling as our new Deputy Regent. Indeed, the “Stars Delight, Deep in the Heart of Texas!”

ART VISITS UNC

By Veronica Grannis, Class of 2015, UNC School of Dentistry The UNC Global Health Student Association was recently privileged to welcome Dr. Jo E. Frencken and Dr. Soraya Leal to present two seminars and a demonstration on Atraumatic Restorative Technique

(ART) to students, residents, and faculty. Dr. Frencken (Department of Global Oral Health Nijmegen, Netherlands) and Dr. Leal (Departmento Dr. Jo Frencken de Odontogia, Universidade de Brasilia, Brazil) are almost exclusively promoting ART worldwide. Their experience of pioneering and refining the ART technique for a variety Dr. Soraya Leal of different clinical scenarios over the past decade was presented to the audience along with a live demonstration.

ART was first formally introduced into a dental health service in Johannesburg, South Africa, with a mobile dental unit in 1997. The technique was fully integrated into national services soon thereafter and since then has been introduced throughout Mexico and other countries. Immediate results have shown significantly fewer extractions on both the primary and permanent dentition with an increase in non-amalgam restorations on teeth not extracted. Though not commonly practiced in the United States, the three hundred ART research papers available on PubMed, including more than three systematic reviews, attest to the current international interest in the technique.

I N T E R N AT I O N A L C O L L E G E O F D E N T I S T S In a p rotocol demonstrated by Dr. Frencken, the specific hand instruments and materials of ART allow the trained dentist to efficiently remove unsupported enamel around carious lesions, excavate the infected inner material, and restore the tooth without the use of electric hand pieces or curing lights. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;enamel excess cutterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was specifically designed for ART and is used to crumble the enamel to be removed. This instrument is less invasive than traditional methods of tooth preparation and is self limiting, creating a conservative preparation that allows access for excavation. Self-curing modified glass ionomer cement is usually the restoration of choice. ART preserves more tooth structure and induces less anxiety and pain in patients than techniques involving high speed hand pieces. Moreover, it can usually be completed without anesthesia

and the use of a rubber dam. Dentists have concluded that the process was also less stressful for them and more efficient.

ART is indicated for early childhood caries and for the permanent dentition in areas of the mouth that are hard to access or where moisture control is a challenge.

ART sealants placed on any restored primary teeth also introduce a large preventive measure to the ART technique. Primarily designed for use in field clinics and schools in areas of high need, ART is now being utilized in private practice as dentists recognize the benefits of such a non-invasive technique and this is supported by clinical data. Many of the students who attended the seminars are currently preparing for overseas mission trips to Malawi, Mexico, Moldova, Nepal and Uganda in the summer of 2013 where they will have the opportunity to utilize what they have learned from the ART workshop.

The UNC SOD Global Health Organization would like to thank Drs. Ceib Phillips and Rick Mumford for their roles in arranging Drs. Frencken and Lealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit.

VIRGINIA

Editor: Richard Roadcap The year 2012 began with the first edition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sphereâ&#x20AC;?, the online newsletter of the ICD 16th District. Regent Dr. William Bennett hopes to create a sense of community among the Fellows in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Dr. Daniel M. Laskin, after many years of service, stepped down as ICD editor for Virginia. In June, at a breakfast meeting in the Williamsburg Lodge, five dental students from Virginia Commonwealth University received scholarships. Also, the Virginia Chapter gave $1500 to sponsor a speaker at the VDA meeting, as well as $500 to the Missions of Mercy Project, and $500 to the Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fund at VCU for Ethics Education. Drs. Mayer Levy, Ralph Howell and John Willhide received awards for service to the community and their profession during last year.

Four doctors from Virginia were inducted as ICD Fellows in San Francisco: Drs. Riki Gottlieb, Ray Lee, Elizabeth Reynolds, and Bhavna Shroff. We extend a warm welcome to them and hope to add to their number at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting in New Orleans.

congratulations to all inductees!
