AAOF 2022 Year in Review by AAO Foundation

OUR MISSION

The mission of the AAO Foundation is to advance the orthodontic specialty by supporting quality education and research that leads to excellence in patient care, and by promoting orthodontic charitable giving.

2 | YEAR IN REVIEW 2022

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT:

I am thrilled to report the AAO Foundation had a very successful and busy 2022. Among many other priorities, the focus remained fundraising to allow us to meet our mission of supporting quality education and research as well as expanding our charitable giving through Donated Orthodontic Services (DOS) and the Disaster Relief Fund.

We were excited to attend our first in-person AAO Annual Session in Miami in two years. Over 750 Residents visited the AAOF booth and became eligible for the Fred A. Garrett Resident Education Program incentive of $400 to offset expenses for them to attend the valuable conference. We hosted our first annual Donor Appreciation Cocktail Reception to raise our glass to you, our donors. We recognized several award recipients at the AAO Foundation Breakfast, including the 2022 Eugene and Pauline Blair Distinguished Service Award, which went to Dr. David M. Sarver.

Our Awards Program continues to support quality education and research and this year alone granted over $459,000 to worthy applicants to support their projects.

AAOF continues to support the Craniofacial Growth Legacy Collection Project, extending the support for an additional 5 years. AAOSI announced in 2022 a matching gift campaign, pledging to match up to $25,000 in donations made toward the support of this project.

The Foundation continued its support for the GORP meeting, which was held in person for residents, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

If you want to further your commitment to the AAOF, join me and the AAOF Board of Directors by making a financial contribution to the AAO Foundation today. https://aaof.aaoinfo.org/select-pledge

Graber Family Biomedical Research and Teaching Award

Project Description

Dr. Hyeran Helen Jeon is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Jeon has received her DDS at Pusan National University, Periodontics training and a MSD degree at Ewha Womans University, and Orthodontics training and a DScD degree at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Jeon is a Korean Board of Periodontology Board-certified periodontist (2008) and an American Board of Orthodontics Board-certified orthodontist (2014). Recently Dr. Jeon received her DMD at the University of Pennsylvania (2021).

Maxillary transverse deficiency is a common skeletal deformity of the craniofacial region with about 21% of children in the primary dentition. It leads to occlusal disharmony, facial asymmetry, and breathing problems. To address this, the maxillary expansion procedure has been used for more than 50 years, including the separation of two maxillae and allowing new bone to fill in the midpalatal suture area for about six months. Even though it has been one of the most common procedures in the orthodontic field, the underlying mechanisms of how the mechanical force converts into biochemical responses are largely unknown. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the midpalatal suture have been suggested to proliferate and differentiate into osteoblasts when the suture is expanded. MSCs maintain craniofacial bone homeostasis and interact with osteoclasts and osteoblasts in bone remodeling. The Gli1+ cells within the suture mesenchyme are considered the main MSC population for craniofacial bones, whereas their ablation leads to craniosynostosis and arrest of skull growth, demonstrating the importance of these cells. The nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) is a central regulator of inflammation and bone homeostasis and controls cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. Interestingly, a recent study supports that the sterile inflammation-induced bone resorption must precede the anabolic response to tensile force during the maxillary expansion. We will test the possible mechanisms using the transgenic mice with a lineage-specific inhibition of NF-kB in MSCs.

Benefit to Orthodontic Education

While only limited information is available on the cellular and molecular events during maxillary expansion, the transgenic animal models described here will provide an opportunity to examine how MSCs respond to tensional force via NF-kB and clarify the cause-and-effect relationship. In addition, the findings of our study can affect the treatment of craniofacial syndrome patients, including distraction osteogenesis, bone remodeling, and tissue engineering.

2022 James L. Vaden Teaching Fellowship Award

Project Description

The current research proposal entails the development of a user-friendly artificial intelligence (AI) based decision making for orthodontic diagnosis. It will utilize more than 14,000 cephalometric radiographs and a multicomponent model using the deep learning technique - Regression convolutional neural networks (RCNN). The first aspect of the project entails the automated identification of landmarks on lateral cephalograms. The accuracy of AI based landmark identification will also be compared with human examiners with different levels of experience. Thesecond part of the project includes the interpretation and automated diagnosis from the feature variables of the datasets including cephalometric radiographs, panoramic radiographs, and photographs. It will work by 1) receiving inputs in the form of specific data (feature variables) obtained from patient radiographs; 2) automatically applying its multicomponent model & RCNN to analyze data & provide diagnosis; and

Dr. Mehta is full-time faculty - assistant professor in the department of Developmental Sciences/Orthodontics at Marquette University School of Dentistry. He is a dental graduate from India. He also obtained his master’s degree and certificate in orthodontics from India. In 2018 he completed a 1-year fellowship program on Recent Advances in Orthodontics at University of Illinois, Chicago. Following his fellowship, he was invited to join University of Connecticut for a dual degree/certificate program (Master of Dental Science and certificate in orthodontics). He completed his orthodontic residency from the University of Connecticut in 2021 and joined academia after graduation as a full-time faculty at Marquette University.

3) recommend a primary and alternate treatment option out of 14 possible options. The RCNN model proposes to optimally combine safety, accuracy, and interpretability, allowing the clinician to understand why an extraction (or nonextraction) decision was taken. It will also continuously update itself with new information from patients, literature, and research.

“ When I think about what the future will bring now that I am retired, I worry that Orthodontic treatment could diminish in importance as a health science if we do not give enough support for good clinical research and teaching for our universities.

As a lifetime educator, I thought it was very important to first become a Regent of the AAOF and then to become part of estate giving through the AAOF Keystone Society.

Our department at the University of the Pacific Dugoni School of Dentistry would never have been able to achieve the level of excellence we did without the sustained and generous support of the AAOF over the last 20 years.”

– ROBERT L BOYD DDS, MEd Professor Emeritus

“I started my career in 1975 in the dental field and 1978 in the specialty of orthodontics. Being a part of this incredible profession for 40+ years, I have seen many changes in the industry. I am passionate about the integrity of the orthodontic field continuing for generations to come.

The American Association of Orthodontists Foundation provides the opportunity for residents and orthodontists to receive the best education in the field. The research funded by the AAOF has allowed the profession to stay on top of changing trends and new treatment modalities. This organization has also been valuable in providing continuing education through seminars and publications.

In addition to enhancing the research and education for orthodontists and residents, the AAOF has set up a network of orthodontists who participate in Donated Orthodontic Services. This helps to provide orthodontic education and care to patients who are not financially able to pay for needed treatment. They are also set up to assist orthodontists with financial relief in the case of a natural disaster.

I made a commitment to the AAOF several years ago by donating $5000, as well as including a donation in my estate for $25,000. In addition to the initial donation and estate planning, I am also donating a fixed dollar amount around the holidays to the AAOF for each of my clients. If you want to see this profession continue to flourish by offering the highest standard of education available, please consider making a donation to the AAOF.”

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

With support from the American Association of Orthodontists Foundation (AAOF), nine of the eleven known collections of longitudinal craniofacial growth records in the United States and Canada have joined together to create this web site and its underlying numerical database. Our purpose is to make representative materials from the participating collections available for viewing and further investigation by clinicians, craniofacial investigators, students of human growth, and interested members of the public.

These collections represent the work of hundreds of investigators. They have been gathered, cataloged, and studied over a period of more than seventy-five years. The contributing collections have produced most of the information that is available in the contemporary orthodontic literature on longitudinal craniofacial growth in untreated children. Now, by merging data

from the several collections, we hope to make possible further collaborative studies that will enrich and refine our knowledge of craniofacial growth in untreated children and adolescents.

Presently available on the site are more than 13,000 digital images including 8,700 lateral cephalograms and over 3,000 frontal (PA) cephalograms generated at different ages from 704 cases, gathered from 9 different collections. Summary statistics on case distribution by sex/ gender, age and Angle Class may be found by clicking on “ Statistics” in the About menu.

This entire site is a continually developing resource for orthodontic teaching and research. Its primary role is to serve as a repository for longitudinal records of all types with sufficient numerical documentation to facilitate useful search and querying.

AAOSI SUPPORTS CRANIOFACIAL GROWTH LEGACY PROJECT THROUGH MATCHING CAMPAIGN

St. Louis, Missouri - AAO Services Inc. (AAOSI), an entity of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), recently announced a dollar-for-dollar matching campaign in support of the Craniofacial Growth Legacy Collection project.

Spearheaded by the American Association of Orthodontists Foundation (AAOF), the Craniofacial Growth Legacy Collection project is a complimentary website and database of nine collections, from both U.S. and Canada, providing access to 842 subjects and over 18,900 radiographs of irreplaceable longitudinal growth records in untreated children and adolescents.

The AAOSI is challenging AAO members to join them in further cultivating this important project through a financial matching campaign.

“Sustenance of orthodontics as a specialty requires nurturing from all of us. The simplest way to sustain our specialty is to tip the AAOF as one leaves a tip for good service. Everyone is capable to leave tips of $100 every month. To join the Century Club is no different; a $100 monthly donation will maintain the noble stature of orthodontics. Please be selfish to protect your livelihood. We hope the day will never come when an orthodontist cannot afford $100 to stay in business.”

– ORHAN C. TUNCAY, DMD Fellow, College of Physicians of Philadelphia AAO Foundation Board of Directors
