Department Spotlight VCU ENDODONTICS: “THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN” DR. GARY MYERS, D.D.S.

“VCU endodontic clinical care continues to thrive as both the predoctoral and graduate clinics maintain very busy clinical schedules.”

L

ife is good in VCU endodontics. Just as our students come and go over time, endodontic residents and faculty alike change as well. This past September, we welcomed Dr. Helena Filippini to our faculty, and if any of you have not yet met her, be sure to introduce yourself and say hello to her. She comes to us from Canada after being raised and trained in Brazil. In October we bid farewell to Dr. Bruce Justman as he completed a part-time role within VCU endodontics over the past 2+ years supporting our students and residents alike. Dr. Ana Andrada, Dr. Jim Heffernan, and Dr. Garry Myers remain in the fold, and you will continue to see them around (and hopefully that is a good thing).

VCU endodontic clinical care continues to thrive as both the predoctoral and graduate clinics maintain very busy clinical schedules. Kudos to the D3 and D4 classes in particular! Under Dr. Andrada’s guidance the D4’s are well ahead of pace

from previous classes in getting endodontic clinical requirements completed and Dr. Heffernan reports that he has really enjoyed seeing the progress of the D3 students as they rotate through Endo 739. We look forward to working with the D2 students this winter in the Endo 623 lab course in Woolwine! The endodontic residents continue to see many emergency patients along with our regularly scheduled patients and this is all made possible through the tireless efforts of our endodontic clinical schedulers and staff – Charity, Michelle, Stephanie, Vivian and Ian. For Halloween 2023, endodontic residents, staff, and faculty managed to “survive” the experience embracing the Survivor theme throughout the day. Two immunity idols were found, and we all made it successfully through tribal council! All eight residents are off to fast starts for the year as we blend hard work with some fun times. Our first year residents – Dr. Mudher Bahar, Dr. Triet Vuong, Dr. Shivali Bhatt and our very own Dr. Yasamin Mojarad – have come from varied backgrounds and

Club Spotlight OROFACIAL PAIN & ORAL MEDICINE CLUB Kathryn Parker, D2025, Co-President of OFPOM Club We started Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine (OFPOM) Club after taking Dr. McMahon’s TMD course during our spring semester of D2 year! We both [Kathryn Parker and her coPresident Ariana Madan] felt as though orofacial pain and oral medicine were such interesting and applicable aspects of the dental field. Hence, we decided to create this club to try and help our fellow dental students learn more about these specialties especially so we can provide more comprehensive direct patient care in clinic and in future practice.

So far, we have held a head & neck exam workshop with Dr. Howell as well as a seminar with Dr. McMahon, “Clinical Signs & Diagnosis, TMD, and Myofascial Disorders that can be treated by a General Practice dentist vs. an Orofacial Pain specialist”.

We’re looking forward to hosting more events in the future to help our student body and faculty to continue to engage with these specialities!

Orofacial pain and Oral Medicine are a couple of the newer dental specialities recognized by the ADA, and our overall aim is to make our members more knowledgeable on both these fields and the immense importance they have in the realm of oral healthcare.

Club Spotlight ASIAN DENTAL SOCIETY Jenny Nguyen, D2026 Vice President of ADS One of the newest clubs at the VCU School of Dentistry is the Asian Dental Society (ADS), which was started in May of this year. This organization began mainly to facilitate a deeper sense of community between dental students of Asian descent or students who simply have an interest and desire to learn more about various Asian cultures.

huge hit with students and faculty on both occasions. We sold various flavors of boba (mango, lychee, yacult/yogurt) that allowed everyone to satisfy their boba craving or try a new type of Asian drink they may have never tried otherwise!

Through this sense of community, the club aims to connect members with practicing dentists and specialists of Asian descent to develop relationships, mentorships, and guidance in the field of dentistry. ADS also wants to educate it members, fellow dental students, or faculty/staff on holidays celebrated throughout various countries in Asia that hold significant importance to our members and other dental students of similar ethnicity.

In addition to our fundraisers, ADS has hosted a members social to help facilitate the development of relationships among students in the various classes at the dental school. One of our largest events so far was our lunch and learn with Dr. Sophie Oswald, a Vietnamese-American oral surgeon based in Northern Virginia. She came down to VCU to give an in-person presentation on her experience as an immigrant, VCU dental student, and how she has navigated her life and career as an Asian woman.

Since the beginning of our club, we have hosted numerous events for the dental school. Our boba and sticker fundraiser has been a

ASDA NATIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, CHICAGO 2023 A PERSPECTIVE FROM BRITTANY SPIVEY, ASDA SECRETARY AND MEMBER OF DDS CLASS OF 2026

A

s our plane approached the glowing network of lights that I realized must be Chicago, I felt a renewed excitement that I was headed to my first ASDA conference. I’d been a member of ASDA since my freshman year of college and I had wanted to become more involved for some time — now as school-wide ASDA Secretary, I had my chance to make the most of the National Leadership Conference.

By next morning, the nine of us— Gabby Nelson (D3), Joelle Ortega (D3), Justin Yi (D3), Wendy Yu (D3), Chloe Eater (D2), Hallie Craig (D2), Priyanka Pugazhenthi (D2), and Raven King (D1)— passed through the vast atrium to register and get our name tags. We chatted through breakfast until we took our seats to listen to the keynote speaker talk about how important conquering your fears is to living fully and her own experience of this with her 100-day challenge. The rest of the day flew by as we heard from dentists and networked with our peers.

VOLUME 17 ISSUE NO. 1

I especially enjoyed Dr. Joe Vaughn’s presentation about his personal experience with dental school debt management because his advice was clear and straightforward. The day concluded to with a talk from Dr. Mike Meru who spoke about how a near-fatal back injury from an avalanche ultimately led him to a career as an orthodontist driven by purpose. That evening, we boarded a yacht on Lake Michigan for a party sponsored by a medical malpractice group, MedPro. By the end of the night, our feet hurt from dancing and our voices were hoarse from talking and laughing over the music— both signs of a good time.

The highlights of the following day included a technology fair where we tried out a diagnostic saliva test and saw a guided implant demonstration. I also had the chance to meet the current ADA president. Other talks that stood out to me included one by Dr. Ben Youel about the lessons he learned as a new dentist; another by Charles Loretto about the path to practice ownership; and a panel by different specialists detailing their unique

career paths in pediatric dentistry (Dr. Jordan Telin), orthodontics (Dr. Erin Fraundorf), and oral and maxillofacial surgery (Dr. Sebastian Cifuentes). The day ended memorably again with a seafood dinner at a Chinese hot pot restaurant, complete with robotic waiters and code phrases that got you special treats. Wendy’s parents shared words of encouragement and wisdom and we all left extremely full and very happy. The night concluded with a bang at the Halloween costume party hosted at Spin Chicago.

The final day included a talk about navigating difficult conversations in clinic

by Dr. Alexandra Howell and I managed to step inside the ADA headquarters before we headed to the airport. As I type this on our flight back to Richmond, I am overwhelmed with gratitude about how well this weekend went— like any dental student, I have a lot to do but this experience was well worth the time and money. It put a lot of my daily dental school concerns into perspective, gave me more ideas for my career path, let me get to know my fellow members of ASDA better, and showed me the importance of connecting to the dental community on a national level. I hope many more dental students at VCU get this chance too.

Events ASDA NATIONAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, CHICAGO 2023 A PERSPECTIVE FROM RAVEN KING, ASDA DISTRICT 4 REPRESENTATIVE AND DDS CLASS OF 2027 From October 20th to the 22nd, I was fortunate enough to attend the American Student Dental Association's (ASDA) National Leadership Conference as a firstyear dental student, representing both VCU School of Dentistry and ASDA District 4.

Prior to stepping foot into the world of dentistry, I highly anticipated the day I would be able to take advantage of such enriching opportunities as a student. During my undergraduate years, I held positions on both the ASDA District 1 and District 4 PreDental Cabinets, where I not only fell in love with this organization, but organized dentistry as a whole.

For two consecutive years, I attended ASDA District 4’s conferences as a pre-dental student, where I heard from various speakers in either private practice, a DSO, or academia.

Having attended those conferences, my path has been shaped toward becoming a proficient healthcare professional, and the future leader of my own dental practice.

VOLUME 17 ISSUE NO. 1

Now, as a student, I am one of the ASDA D1 Representatives at VCU and Content Creator on ASDA District 4’s Cabinet.

The National Leadership Conference (NLC) conference served as a central networking hub for dental students from schools nationwide to learn and connect. The conference took place in Chicago, IL, where the American Dental Association headquarters is located.

Interacting with students from diverse backgrounds and regions provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of the dental profession.

Additionally, the privilege of hearing from accomplished and inspiring dentists, many of whom were ASDA alumni, was an invaluable opportunity. I aspire to replicate their achievements in my own professional journey, which has only just begun.

As I reflect on this transformative experience, I look forward to engaging in future conferences that will contribute to my holistic

development as a dental professional. Additionally, my involvement in ASDA at the district level reflects my dedication to the progression and betterment of the dental community. With aspirations to eventually run for a national position, my journey with ASDA marks the beginning of an unwavering commitment to leadership and excellence in the field of dentistry.

DENTAL BALL Brittany Spivey, D2026 Stepping through the holographic tinsel curtains towards the music, I was greeted by familiar faces, cheerful music, and the scattered light from countless disco balls. Weaving my way through the crowd past the appetizers, I made my way to the bar and was delighted by the disco-ball drink stirrers.

I had heard good things about the rooftop bar, Kabana, and this was my first time there.

The layout included a photo booth beside an island bar that led out onto a balcony which wrapped around the building.

The view was phenomenal— I could see what felt like every building lining the James River from the Federal Reserve Bank to the Dominion Energy headquarters. And the sky was so clear I could see the stars.

The theme was articular disc(o)— cleverly suggested

by ASDA president, Wendy Yu, to the Class of 2025 Class President and our hardworking event planner, Sarah Heiss.

The theme took off with party goers flaunting hoop earrings, pastel eyeshadow, wide-brimmed sleeves, metallic fabric, platform boots, patterned button-up shirts, and mustaches— all with a distinctly 2023 look. I had been inspired to purchase a pearl-encrusted spherical clutch in addition to my VCU-yellow gown.

Tickets had sold out— contrary to expectations— with especially large numbers of D1s in attendance. With the constant weight of exams and practicals, it was nice to have a lighthearted moment to just socialize and dance.

The party continued elsewhere (at least for those not planning on running the Richmond marathon or 8K) and ended with loud goodbyes and a scramble to the coat rack. The semester has challenges ahead but at least we had this sparkling night.

Community Service PIEDMONT SMILES FAUQUIER COUNTY, VA OCTOBER 2023 Piedmont Smiles is a collaboration between the Virginia Dental Association Foundation and the Fauquier Free Clinic. It is a one-day, pop-up event that provides free dental care to members of the community — including Fauquier County, Rappahannock County and the surrounding area. At this year’s event, 254 residents of this region received oral health care valued at more than $111,000.

Services provided at Piedmont Smiles included cleanings, fillings, extractions, endodontic therapy and oral health education. VCU School of Dentistry was represented by 22 of our students as well as a number of faculty, staff and alumni.

Community Service MISSIONS OF MERCY: WISE, VA BRITTANY SPIVEY, D2026

Driving higher into the mountains through the mist, the conversation in the car got louder as roadtrip snacks were passed around. I was carpooling with Sierra Suarez Friend (D4), Cameron Walker (D4), and Krystin Potter (D2) and I was feeling thankful I had not needed to drive the six hours from Richmond to Wise alone. Good company made our stay at the hotel all the more cheerful too. Everyone gathered in the lobby to swap stories of their drive in— and no one could compete with the stories of the students who had volunteered to drive the large trucks loaded with supplies.

When I asked how they decided who would be driving back, a quick “nose game” was the response.

But of course, none of us signed up for a Mission of Mercy for its ease and convenience and we were up early the next morning unloading the trucks before we knew it. We carried in everything from reclining patient chairs to crates of instruments like little ants into the vast indoor stadium of the UVA at Wise campus.

It was amazing to see how much 30 hardworking volunteers could accomplish as a we assembled the temporary clinic with astonishing speed. Even more amazing was seeing hundreds of patients receive free dental care over the next few days. We took shifts volunteering to flush out the water lines with bleach, sterilize instruments, oversee supply tables, and assist during procedures.

Our days ended with cheerful group lunches and dinners as well as getting to see the heartwarming opening of a local dental clinic, Health Wagon, that would be able to consistently serve the dental needs of the community.

As we packed and headed back, I felt incredibly grateful. I had not only had the opportunity to help meet the dental needs of underserved patients but also learned more about dentistry and got to know the talented dentists and dental students who volunteered better. Dental school is draining at times but events like these can remind us of how much good we can do for those in need and refuel our passion for dentistry.

At this year’s Wise MoM event, approximately 60 of the volunteers were students, faculty, residents, and staff from VCU SoD. An estimated $471,000 worth of care was delivered to 458 patients over the course of the two-day event.

ONE YEAR OLDER, ONE YEAR WISER? JILLIAN FABER, D2026

A

s the first semester of D2 rapidly approaches its close, many members of the Class of 2026 have an eerily similar feeling to the one we had eight grades ago — as high school sophormores; not necessarily wondering when we will get our braces off, nor hoping we make the varsity team over JV. Rather, we recognize that even though we still have much to learn, we do have many accomplishments to celebrate. This semester, we have had the thrilling opportunity to treat real patients, to guest lecture for the Class of 2027, and to celebrate 58 successful credits of dental school under our belts.

Student Voices “I had to learn very quickly that it’s OKAY to be bad at something you’ve never done before. It’s all part of the learning process.

So, be okay with being really bad at that first crown prep, but critique it and learn from your mistakes to make your next one even better.”

— Collin Johnson, Class of 2026 Academic Support Chair

“Listen, school is brutal so find something small each day that makes you happy. For me, it’s occasionally getting two cheeseburgers and a Celsius for lunch and enjoying some alone time in the stacks or wherever.”

— Jared Bergman, ADEA Teaching Fellow for D1 Clinical Skills Course “There are so many benches in Woolwine,

The advice of the upperclassmen was (and continues to be) invaluable to our own educational experiences; for the first time, we are in a position to be able to pay that forward.

So, without further ado, here is a piece of the Class of 2026’s Un-Official D1 Survival Guide:

but you sit at just one. Concentrate on what goes on at your bench and with your hands!

You’ll learn at your rate and your neighbors at theirs. Lend a hand and be open to advice, but always be gracious to yourself where you are, and don’t give up!”

Student Voices INTERPROFESSIONAL HEALTHCARE AT THE CRUX OF VCU’S DENTAL EDUCATION ANNELIESE GOETZ, D2025

F

irst-year dental students at VCU have just barely moved their materials and instruments into their Woolwine Simulation Laboratory benches before they are introduced into the world of interprofessional healthcare. VCU’s

IPEC 501: Foundations of Interprofessional Practice kicks off about two weeks into our fall semester of first year and includes faculty and students from VCU’s DDS and Dental Hygiene, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Doctor of Occupational Therapy, Nursing, Doctor of Pharmacy, and Master of Public Health programs. In this course, students are placed into multidisciplinary small groups, where they learn the fundamentals of interprofessional collaborative care and, via online or in-person meetings, work through example cases that delve into real-life scenarios in which collaboration across healthcare disciplines takes place. Not only does this course give us more insight into what each of these healthcare fields does on a day-to-day basis, it fosters an environment where we are able to learn how to communicate appropriately across disciplines. We learn about different types of team decision-making and the levels of care at which collaborative practice can take place, including the patient level, the group level, the organizational level, and the societal level.

Concurrently, early in our first year, we begin our first periodontology course, where we are again placed in small groups with other first-year dental students as well as firstyear dental hygiene students. This course essentially sets the stage for our careers as dentists – working directly alongside our dental hygiene colleagues to make accurate diagnoses, formulate proper treatment plans, and deliver high quality, evidence-based treatment. This emphasis on interprofessional care is continued throughout our first and second years as we enter didactic courses such as Gross Anatomy, Physiology, General Pathology and Pharmacology, taught by faculty from the Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy.

VOLUME 17 ISSUE NO. 1

It is also around this time that we learn about the importance of a proper medical consultation or referral. Combining what we have learned from our physiology, pathology, and pharmacology courses, we are taught what warrants a medical consult and ways in which we can intelligibly and respectfully communicate with our healthcare colleagues to ensure the best healthcare outcomes for our patients as we enter clinic in the summer of our second year. In addition to gaining an appreciation for our partners from other healthcare disciplines, we also are provided opportunities to work with the myriad specialties of dentistry including pediatric dentistry, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orofacial pain, oral pathology, oral radiology, oral medicine, and dental public health through didactic courses as well as clinical rotations. In our third year at VCU, we once again are exposed to formal training in interprofessional healthcare through the Interprofessional Health Assessment Simulation.

In this course, dental students, dental hygiene students, and nurse practitioner students collaborate on a patient simulation activity to gain an accurate and thorough health and social history through patient interviewing and formulate a comprehensive patient management plan.

We are extremely fortunate to have a vast array of health professionals at our fingertips (or rather across the street) on the Medical College of Virginia campus. Not only is this beneficial to us as students, but it enables our patients to access the highest quality of care from students and faculty that have been well-trained in interprofessional care management.
