It is anHonor
It is an honor to serve as President of the ASD. Ilook forward with excitement and optimism tothis upcoming year. what a privilege it has beento work with so many talented and strong leadersof our Academy. They have taught me much andguided my footsteps along the way. I want tothank our outgoing president, Dr. Paul Nativi,and the Board of Directors for their hard work.
Our Academy wouldn’t be as successful as it isif it relied on just one person’s efforts. Oursuccess lies in the fact that we work together asa team. I am proud to be a member of the ASDteam. An important part of that team has beenour outgoing treasurer, Dr. Alex Della Bella andboard members Drs. Jim Lovelace and MikeNanne who have just completed their terms onthe Board. Thanks Alex, Jim and Mike for youryears of service! welcome aboard Dr. w. Roberthowarth as our new treasurer, and boardmembers Drs. Edward Bick, J. Kent Guebert andwayne Nakamura. Roll up your selves youguys. we’ve got work to do!
No surprise, but ASD has completed anothervery successful symposium, held inMinneapolis, Minnesota. Dr. Mike Nanneserved as General Chair, and Drs. Doug Lambertand Mark Roettger served as co-chairs of theLocal Arrangements Committee. You did a greatjob! The Marriott and Minneapolis proved to bea great venue. The auction at the President’sBanquet was also a huge success, as well asentertaining, thanks to our auctioneer Dr. hansStasiuk and his able assistant Dr. Jan Chithalen.This year’s Distinguished Member Award wentto Dr. Enrique Amy. under Dr. Amy’sleadership, the ASD put on the very first TeamDentist Course, he introduced the ASD to FIMS(an international medical committee) where the
Academy provides the dental expertise to FIMS,he wrote the book, “Dental health and Sports”which has been translated into several differentlanguages, and he hosted one of our annualsymposiums in Puerto Rico. he’s always put theAcademy first over his own personal aspirations.Thank you Enrique for all that you have done forthe Academy!
There were no Fellowship Awards given thisyear. This award recognizes ones’ continuededucation and commitment to the field of sportsdentistry. I would encourage each of you whohave not received your fellowship to go to thewebsite and review what it takes to become afellow. Make plans now to become a candidatefor ASD Fellowship.
The Board has worked hard this past yearupdating its Mouthguard Position Statement, theASD Slide Series; sponsoring the annualNational Facial Protection Month in April alongwith AAMOS/AAPD/AAO; getting a newSports Safety brochure published with the ADA,and publishing articles in the ADA recapping ourannual symposium held in Las Vegas (2011) aswell as promoting the meeting we just held inMinneapolis (2012).
This year the Board will continue to implementASD’s Strategic Plan 2010-2015. But probablynumber one on “my list” will be membership.having served my entire time on the Board asthe Chair of Membership, this is the part of thestrategic plan that is near and dear to my heart.Our Academy continues to hover at around 600international members year after year. we cando better! I have found the best way to grow ourAcademy is to personally invite someone tocome and see what we’re all about. Just think, if

Dental Coverage for the 2011
Rugby WORLD CUP
The 2011 Rugby world Cup took place in NewZealand over 45 days in September and October,at 12 venues and included 20 different nationalteams. According to Dr. Peter Smith, aparticipating dentist and a member of the ASD,“NZ is a very small (but rugby mad) country ofonly 4 million citizens. The organizers decidedthat it be a tournament where it would have a‘stadium of 4 million’ and did a marvelous job ofinvolving every community, school, sports clubthroughout the country who all adopted a nationalteam to support.”
world class rugby is a fast and violent sport andthe medical and dental coverage is an essentialcomponent of the entire plan. A medical doctorwas in overall charge of the dental aspect of thetournament. Since there were 12 different venuesinvolved, the lead doctor nominated dentists whohad experience in sports dentistry for eachdifferent site. In Auckland, the city that hostedthe most games, there were two dentists available,one of whom was Dr. Smith. There was nodentist in overall charge of the dental servicelargely because the competition was spread overso many different venues. None of the nationalteams travelled with a dentist on their medicalstaffs.
A dentist covered all contests but according to Dr.Smith, the demands on the dentists were minimal.No dental facility was available at the differentsites and any dental treatment would have been
done at the dentist’s offices. Dr. Smith treatedseveral players for routine dental emergencies butno trauma related injuries. The vast majority ofinternational rugby players wear custom-mademouthguards. In New Zealand it is compulsory,but some players have ignored this rule. The lackof traumatic injuries in such a violent sport in such a long tournament may seem unlikely but given the ubiquitous use of mouthguards and the high skill level of the athletes, it isunderstandable.
Perhaps the most interesting item to come out ofthe world Cup pertaining to sports dentistry wasthe number of fines levied by the InternationalRugby Board against players who woremouthguards which displayed the manufacturer’slogo. Three players from the England squad,Courtney Laws, Lewis Moody and ManuTuilagi, and Tuilagi’s brother Alesana, who playsfor Samoa, wore mouthguards with the logo ofOPRO mouthguards. Each of the Englandplayers was fined £5,000 (10,000 dollars). ManuTuilagi, 20, denied the incident was part of anorchestrated campaign to protest other IRBrulings. “we always wear the same mouthguard.Mine was the one I used to wear when I wasplaying for England under-18s. There isbranding on the front of it. Before the Romaniagame I coloured it in with permanent marker. Ialso wore it in the Argentina game but they [theIRB] didn’t know.”

According to Dr. Smith, “Most Samoan playersare very poorly paid; these guys were justwearing mouthguards they had been fitted with ayear or so before, but the International RugbyBoard fined them $10,000!”
This is an interesting sidelight to this magnificenttournament, ultimately won by New Zealand in athrilling 8-7 win over France.

The ASD CosponsorsNational Facial Protection Month
The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in the year 2000 started an initiativeproclaiming April “National Facial Protection Month.” The purpose of this campaign was to remindactive patients to protect themselves from injuries to the face, head and mouth. According to PamPaladin, the Marketing and Member/Consumer Relations Manager of the American Association ofOrthodontists (AAO), both the AAO and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry agreed tocosponsor the initiative in 2001. The direction of the activities of the month are directed by eachorganization on a rotating basis and this year’s was organized by Ms. Paladin of the AAO.
This year the board of Directorsof the Academy for SportsDentistry under the direction ofPresident Paul Nativiapproached the threesponsoring agencies to ask tobecome a cosponsor of theprogram. It is an obviousconnection and although theASD is a much smallerorganization and not a parentorganization of a recognizedspecialty, as are the other three,the ASD was welcomed andnow is a full partner incampaign. Cynthia Satko, ASDmember, an oral surgeon andthe liaison from the ASD to theAAOMS, and AndrewSpadinger, pediatric dentist,ASD member and liaison to theAAO from the ASD, bothplayed important roles in this collaboration.
In addition to advocating for regularmouthguard use, emphasis in the program is alsoplaced on the use of helmets in a variety ofsports and recreational activities such asbicycling and motorcycles. In addition, it isrecommended that athletes also consider thebenefits of face shields and eye protectors inselect activities.
The ASD, while a much smaller group, hopes tobe a resource and a voice of expertise for thethree other organizations. It is very noteworthythat ASD has a membership that is
knowledgeable about aspecific subject that isvery important to a largepercentage of thepopulation. It isimportant that anymessages about sportsand dentistry containrecommendations whichare based on goodscience and which haveproven to be successfulover time. whilesuggestions to protect theface and mouth aregenerally great ideas, it isequally important thatpeople know that not allprotective devices are thesame. All patients shouldbe able to turn to dentalprofessionals to get
information about how best to protect them withquality equipment.
The Academy for Sports Dentistry is thrilled tobe a part of National Facial Protection Monthand sincerely thanks the American Associationof Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons(www.aaoms.org), The American Association ofOrthodontists (www.braces.org), and theAmerican Academy of Pediatric Dentistry(www.aapd.org) for including us in this selectgroup. More information as well as promotionalitems such as brochures and poster can be foundat the AAOMS website at http://www.aaoms.org/facial_protection_month.php.

New ASDBoard
MembersThree new Board members were added to theboard of Directors of the Academy for SportsDentistry at the Annual Session inMinneapolis. Dr. Edward Bick of St. LouisPark, Minnesota will be filling the one yearBoard position of Rick Knowlton as he movesinto the position of President-Elect. The newthree-year Board members are Dr. J. KentGuebert of Bourbonnais, Illinois and Dr.wayne Nakamura of Ontario, California.
each one of us did this, we would double in sizewithin the year.
Most of our colleagues don’t even know that weexist. The ones that do think that you have tohave some connection with a sports team and betreating sports related dental injuries to be amember of our Academy. That’s not true!Anyone who has patients who are active and ridebicycles, skateboards; play tennis or racquetball;run, jog, water ski, or snowboard, etc., qualifiesfor membership. Injuries don’t come strictlyfrom collision sports like football or hockey.how many times has a parent brought their childin to your office because they were runningaround the house, slipped and fell, and caughtthe edge of the coffee table with their two upperfront teeth, which are now in a cup? hardly asports related injury, but it might as well be ifyou plan on re-implanting them and followingthe proper protocol. Are we prepared to treatthese cases? Are our colleagues, our dentistfriends? Our Academy specializes in trainingthe dental professional in how to handle
situations like this. All we have to do is inviteour friends to join us! That’s our role in being amember of the ASD team. The ExecutiveCommittee can’t do it alone, the Board can’t doit alone, you and I can’t do it alone. we all needto do it together. Teamwork!
Finally, our Annual Symposium Committee, thisyear being chaired by Dr. Rick Knowlton, ishard at work organizing the 2013 meeting to beheld at the Doubletree hotel in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania. There will be the usual all-starline up of speakers and workshops. In addition,I’ve tasked Dr. Steve Mills to put on the TeamDentists Course again, which will be heldThursday, August 1, 2013. It’s symposiums likethis that we can bring our friends to and let themsee what a great organization this is. what betterplace to introduce them to the wonderful worldof sports dentistry and trauma related solutions.So mark your calendar now for August 1-3,2013.
See you in Philly! Jeff Lloyd, DDS, FASD
