The 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.

A production company was hired and

a professional video has been produced

about the mission, goals, history and

accomplishments of the International

College of Dentists.

A companion Share the Honor scripted

slide presentation highlighting the heritage,

traditions and projects of the Section has

also been created.

Our Foundation has had its best year ever reporting that

its corpus has reached an all time high.

We will purchase our own property so that we may soon

stop paying rent and start building equity.

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.

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

from the R E G I S T R A R

2012R E P O R T

T he USA Section has had another fabulous year. Our Executive Meeting was held in January in conjunction

with the Southwest Dental Conference based in Dallas, Texas. We were energized because of the renewed vision of the ICD USA Section through the Applied Strategic Planning Process. Our vision is captured in a letter from the future. Our Strategic Planning Team imagined ourselves five years out from 2012 into 2017. This visionary letter helped us frame our goals, objectives and action steps for the next few years.

Our Spring Board of Regents meeting was in Savannah, Georgia. We teamed up with the American College of Dentists for a joint CE meeting after the individual board meetings, since a number of our Fellows are members of both organizations. It turned out to be a delightful, event-filled few days in a great town with a fascinating history, wonderful shops and great restaurants. So successful was the event that we are looking ahead to do the joint ACD – ICD endeavor again in 2015.

Our 2012 Fall Board of Regents Meeting and Convocation were at the lovely San Francisco Hilton in downtown San Francisco, California. What a delight it was for the Worldwide

College to join us in 2012. The College Officers took part in our convocation proceedings. The Worldwide College President, Dr. Garry Lunn, and our Section President, Dr. W. Michael Kenney welcomed 240 new Fellows. I had to chuckle when Dr. Lunn said the “convocation ran with military precision.” Most of our Convocation Committee members have military experience, and some are still on active duty. One unique change this year was that we transitioned to rented versus our owned robes. In all, the whole day went off without the slightest hitch…Another great job by the Convocation Committee.

I want to again take the opportunity to thank all the Fellows who work behind the scenes just like the Convocation Committee - the Screening Committees that review the CIFs, the Leadership Coordinators, the Counselors, those who participate in the many ‘”White Coat” Ceremonies and local mentoring programs like “Great Expectations”, or work with the many students in the Student Exchange Programs, the Editors who do a beautiful job capturing and get-ting the word out about their Districts, and thank you too to the many Fellows who support the Peace Corps and new

Fisher House projects. I have to mention the hard work put in by all the Deputy Regents, Vice Regents and Regents who make your Districts run smoothly. It is all about being professional; it’s about integrity; it’s about leadership; it’s about service. Thank you for all you do behind the scenes to make the ICD USA Section so spectacular.

I was reminded during our recent 2012 Council Meeting how much impact the College has Worldwide. You can really take pride in the scope of the accomplishments the ICD is making: dental care for villages in the Philippines, Africa, India, South America and many, many more locations throughout the world; support after natural disasters like floods or earthquakes; and, of course, our ongoing recognition of leaders providing a vast array of services to the profession. As an ICD Fellow you are part of the amazing contributions of this phenomenal organization.

In Fellowship,

This 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.

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…

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.

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

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

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.

INTERNATIONALCOLLABORATIVE

INITIATIVEOF THE

INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE OF DENTISTS

We 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

t his has been a year of deep reflection, creativity, and planning as we developed

and adopted a very energetic and proactive five year Applied Strategic Plan (ASP). We were able to redefine our focus through an inspiring new vision expressed in a “Letter from the Future“ of the best we can be, update our Mission, align our goals, and develop an ambitious business plan with concrete objectives. Our ASP provides us an excellent blueprint for our preferred future with a very positive focus on the alignment and direction of the USA Section.

This process began with the formation of a very committed Core Committee of 16 members. The Committee participated in two very productive Retreats, an Organizational Health Survey, and discussions with their Shadow Teams. Additional input was provided with a Membership Survey of a 1,000 Fellows and the review and unanimous approval of the Board of Regents (BOR). Dr. Robert Frazer, an ICD Fellow and expert on strategic planning, generously donated his time as our facilitator.

The ASP Mission of our Section is, “To create a future of choice for the USA Section of the International College of Dentists, its Fellows and staff. Through the Process of Applied Strategic Planning, the College and its people will achieve their highest potential in service to others, resulting in increased effectiveness, fulfillment, success, and significance.”

The Organizational Health Survey as completed by the Core Committee listed 51 desired outcomes for our ASP. The top three outcomes were

to develop a definite direction and updated Mission Statement for the USA-ICD, a clear and passionate vision, and a clear differentiation of the uniqueness of the ICD from other dental honorary organizations.

During Retreat I we discussed and initiated the development of our Vision, Core Values, and Mission. The process began with identifying the future vision of the USA Section and proceeding backward in our planning to the present. This prevents dragging the obstacles of past into the future and provides a very creative environment for being the best you can be. Vision is from the heart and gives the “why” or purpose for which we exist. It gives direction, while our Core Values give the rightness of our direction.

Core Values are our guiding principles or natural laws that do not change over time. Our consensus Core Values are Integrity, Leadership, and Service and are our new tagline.

Mission is from the head and is our magnetic north. It answers the questions what, who, and why. Our Mission is tied together by values, especially our Core Values, and our “Why” or Vision. Our Mission Statement was extremely well received by our Shadow Teams and had the unanimous approval of our Committee and the BOR. It is listed for your reference.

“The U.S.A. Section of the International College of Dentists, as part of the preeminent honorary dental organization in the world…

excellence in leadership with an emphasis on service

and respect for our peers,

education throughout the world, and

collaboration with those who share our values.”

Retreat II addressed the development of our Strategic Business Model, our Goals, and Integrated Action Plans (IAPs) and reviewed and approved our Letter from the Future (LFF), Core Values, and Mission Statement. An environmental scan was completed with a review of the marketplace as well as economic, political, and social issues. A SWOT analysis was done as we considered our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

Our LFF contains our clear and passionate internal vision statement. It can be viewed on our website at http://www.usa-icd.org/private/

index.htm. Your membership number is needed to access this site. Our encapsulated or public Vision, which was extrapolated from our LFF, is “We are the preeminent honorary dental organization in the US that recognizes and promotes excellence in Leadership and Service.”

Goals were developed by returning from our future vision as stated in the LFF to the present reality. The ASP team identified five major areas of impact that merited specific goals. Goal Champions were appointed for each goal and are responsible for their execution and feedback. Objectives are listed under each goal and are assigned short (S), intermediate (I),

APPLIED STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS

and long term (L). Objectives are also rated on their level of importance in assisting the goal to support our vision as most important (A), important (B), and less important (C). The five goals are listed below in order of importance:

USA SECTION GOALS:

1. We are the preeminent honorary dental organization in the USA.

2. We are the foremost source for dental leadership and recognition.

3. We are the model for domestic and international dental service and collaboration.

4. We have state-of-the-art internal and external communication to support our projects and activities.

5. We enjoy a secure financial position which allows us to achieve our strategic objectives.

The key to a successful ASP lies in its execution and the proper use of Integrated Action Plans (IAPs). Each objective has an IAP which delineates the action steps, the What of the plan, necessary to achieve the objective. Our IAP spread sheet also includes Who is going to execute the action, the Resources, the System or time divisions, the beginning date, and a Monitor. The quarterly updating of all IAPs is the lynch pin for successful implementation of the ASP.

Our Goal Champions and Committee Chairs and many of our Fellows are fully engaged in the development and execution of our objectives with IAPs. This involves many exciting and energetic projects that reflect the outstanding leadership and service provided by the ICD and many of our Fellows. An example of one of our key

objectives under our highest priority Goal I is to: “Establish branding in all ICD activities/projects by the fall meeting 2013.” A branding letter has been sent to our leadership discussing the importance and implementation of this objective with specific recommendations and protocols.

The USA Section and the ICD have a great story to tell, and this will become even more compelling as we execute our blueprint for the future as directed by our ASP. It is important that we share this story with our Fellows, the profession, and the public. This sharing with our branding will reinforce the value of Fellowship for current Fellows and increase the desire for excellent candidates to aspire to Fellowship. It will also provide sponsors with incentives to support our many outstanding leadership and humanitarian projects.

I would like to thank our Core Committee, the BOR, our Shadow Teams, our staff, and the many Fellows that have worked so hard throughout the year. I would also like to acknowledge the generous commitment of Dr. Robert Frazer, who served as our outstanding facilitator. This year of deep reflection and the development of our ASP has provided great energy and focus for the Section. I believe we are well positioned for a very promising and significant future and encourage all Fellows to be active participants in making the USA Section the best it can be.

of Dental Medicine. Dr. Serio has been actively involved in Dentistry Overseas, a joint project between the ADA and the Health Volunteers Overseas and many other international volunteer dental activities spanning over 30 years.

This past year our student exchange program concentrated on working with dental schools that have previously participated with us. The reciprocal exchanges are set up between two participating dental schools, with students selected from within those schools. Our program currently helps two students from each of the participating U.S. schools and two from each international exchange school. We hope to expand the program over the next several years, and we are actively looking for greater funding and more schools who are interested in participating.

Finally, we have our Global Health Student Associations (GHSAs). We encourage dental schools to establish these programs for the benefit of the many dental students who are interested in knowing more about raising money for and participating in exchange programs and to teach students about oral health care worldwide, the unmet needs for patient care, opportunities for travel to foreign lands to provide preventive education and clinical treatment and to prepare students for professional leadership in the community of nations. For more information about participation in this initiative, please visit the ICD, USA Section website at www.usa-icd.org. or contact the Section Office at (301) 251-8861.

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.

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.

MODEL DISTRICT AWARD

(Continues on page 13)

The 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:

an independent office for the CAL.

Leon states that, “This separation was long

overdue and marks a milestone in the history

of the International College of Dentists. It

was the right thing to do as we can already

see improvements in the management of our

finances and the new-found energy in our

Growth and Development efforts…… I see

After discussion in the Executive Committee (EC), the 2011 Board of Regents (BOR) in Las Vegas

was asked to consider the issue of whether or not there should be a position on the Board to coordinate Public Relations and Communication. After further review at the EC and the BOR, it was decided to appoint an ad hoc committee to further assess this issue. That committee expanded the potential role because they thought there was a critical need for an individual on the Board who would have oversight of the organization’s programmatic activities and assure that collaboration and communication are taking place among the various committees, as well as with our Fellows and other constituencies.

It was decided that these new responsibilities would be placed in the Section’s Deputy Registrar position, which previously had no defined role. A list of specific duties and responsibilities was developed and the new Deputy Registrar position was approved by the Board of Regents at its October, 2012 meeting in San Francisco.

While there are certainly elements of the original description of a communications/technology liaison, this Board position would have a broader focus. The position will be one of prominence within the USA ICD governance. While the overall results of this position will be to increase and enhance PR and communication, the Deputy Registrar’s primary responsibility will be to keep the Section focused on its identified tasks and make sure that all the Section groups are dedicated to accomplishing those tasks.

The rationale for the expansion of the Deputy Registrar role is that the Section needs someone to keep its activities and plans cohesive, communicative, cooperative and current. The President and Registrar have minimal time to

consistently coordinate all of the various activities of the Section due to their other expectations and responsibilities. Therefore someone needs to assist with those goals. Just as the Registrar directs the Section’s administration, the President directs the Section’s governance, the Deputy Registrar directs the Section’s programs and activities. The Deputy Registrar keeps all of the Section activities and plans on task and ensures all the Section entities work together…. obviously in constant communication and coordination with the President and Registrar.

The Deputy Registrar serves on the Executive Committee and the Board of Regents, necessary prerequisites for this position to be successful. It is important that the person in this position have the opportunity to participate in any and all discussions regarding the plans and programs of the organization in order to be familiar with all of the activities of the Section. In addition to being an integral member of the EC and BOR, this position would work closely with all committees and especially the Section President, Editor, PR Specialist and Registrar. This position would work under the direction of the President.

The new responsibilities of the Deputy Registrar are outlined below:

the USA ICD Section’s plans, programs, and activities

of the USA ICD Section’s governance entities and each of their objectives (i.e. the mission of the organization, the strategic plan of the organization, and the objectives of each committee or task force.)

direct the Section activities within all the various entities of the organization,

(i.e. making sure the various committees are aware of each other’s activities and efforts as well as keeping them on task and in compliance with the strategic plan.)

dissemination of USA ICD information, including, but not limited to publications/webpage/brochures/announcements/committee or taskforce reports/press releases/social media/chat pages/blogs/membership surveys

committees/task forces/BOR/EC/states and state officers/individual Fellows

ADA/ACD/Specialty groups/AGD/etc.

and reports about the status of the USA Section

to the ICD-USA Foundation

innovations and upgrades such as Skype, Televox, and enhanced cyber-security.

In order to successfully execute these responsibilities, it will be necessary for the Deputy Registrar to establish a strong working relationship with the Registrar and the President and to communicate effectively with the Editor and the PR Specialist to make sure all of the appropriate Section information is being relayed to our various constituencies in a timely manner.

As described elsewhere in this publication, Dr. Ted Roberson, USA Section President in 2010 was elected as the Deputy Registrar, effective for 2013 and 2014. He succeeds Dr. Van Zissi, USA President in 2005, who served with distinction as Deputy Registrar for seven years and has been designated, Deputy Registrar Emeritus.

Deputy Registrar Van Zissi RetiresAfter many years of

dedicated service to

the ICD Van Zissi of

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.

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.

John Kriz Distinguished Deputy RegentDr. John Kriz of Idaho was

named the Distinguished

Deputy Regent of the Year

at the USA Section’s annual

meeting in San Francisco.

Dr Kriz has brought the

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

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.

When the Humanitarian Liaison Committee met to discuss goals for the 2012 year, the committee members agreed that before they could move

forward on any humanitarian projects there must be some confirmation that Fellows still, in fact, are interested in volunteer opportunities. The last survey was taken in the early 2000’s. To capture this information, a survey of twelve questions was created to target volunteer interest. The survey was emailed to the Fellowship in February. There were 764 respondents to the survey.

These results confirm our Fellowship still has a strong interest in volunteer efforts. The three areas that are most evident from the survey results are:

1) Volunteer Opportunities – The results of this survey indicated that 54% (414) of the 764 respondents are interested in hearing more about volunteer opportunities through the ICD.

2) Currently Volunteering - Not surprising, but of these 414 respondents 170 (41%) currently volunteer through various organizations.

3) International Volunteer Seminars – Of this same group, 343 (83%) indicate a strong interest in attending a seminar that would give detailed information about volunteering in other countries as well as within the US.

The HLC is determined to find ways to link our Fellows with volunteer opportunities, and is in the process of collaborating with the American Dental Association’s International Dental Volunteer staff regarding their list of volunteer opportunities. The current plan is to place a link on our website that will take our Fellows directly to the ADA’s International Dental Volunteer webpage to view viable opportunities that have been approved by the ADA. This link should be available on our website by the spring of 2013. [Editor’s Note: This link is in place. See below for address.]

The HLC also has identified several of our ICD Fellows who are seasoned Dental Volunteers with many years of experience. The new International Volunteer Seminar series has been developed to inform attendees of the many reasons why we volunteer, what it takes to be a volunteer, what to expect as a volunteer, and the different types of volunteer opportunities available. The 2013 seminars will be held at dental meetings in Chicago, IL in February; Atlanta, GA in March; and Bellevue, WA in June. Please look for the title “International Volunteer Dental Projects: What’s It All About?” when registering. There is no additional registration fee to attend these seminars. The HLC is very excited that Dr. Francis G. Serio has agreed to lead this first series of seminars. Dr. Serio has been a volunteer for more than 30 years. He has a wealth of knowledge to share on being a dental volunteer. His experiences will make for a most informative and interactive presentation on volunteering. The registration response has been tremendous for these seminars. For more information on the ADA link mentioned above and the Volunteer Seminars please go online to www.usa-icd.org/projects/HLC_projects.htm.

If there are any volunteer projects that you would like us to post on our website, please email the information to [email protected].

SECTIONGETTING NEW

WEB SITE

The saying goes, “Good things take time, like a fine wine”. Well that holds true

for the late 2013 release of the fully revamped, fully redesigned new USA-ICD website (usa-icd.org). The seeds for change were planted back in 2010. Through hard work and tremendous dedication by many participants, the actual “going live” is coming soon.

What people may not know about the site, besides what will be an obvious esthetic/layout change, are the tremendous advancements lying underneath the external appearance. The site will fall much more under our own control; both from a management stand point and membership perspective. It lends itself to being a far more interactive site then we have ever seen before. Time has slowly moved along with these advancements because technology is constantly changing course and the website is designed to “go with the flow”. Instead of the site being limited by static technology, it will be dynamically morphing with technology.

The site will create a more two-way street between our members, the organization and what we do collaboratively. The format will be more user friendly and more updatable. We look forward to the new site’s “launch” later this year. Be ready to re-introduce yourself to the website and bookmark the address!

The 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. 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.

In Colorado, Michael Scheidt has provided a list of dentists for Fisher House; and, although they have not yet had emergency care, he went to visit the house in Denver and presented them with a gift basket of dental care supplies. I am sure these supplies are welcome, when a family is far from home and just needs a simple thing like a toothbrush and toothpaste.

A phone call came in from the Fisher House in St. Louis. After a few phone calls to the membership, Arnie Jacobson came to the rescue and went back into his office on his day off to place a temporary filling and refer the patient to an oral surgeon in her home town. The patient was very grateful for the kind treatment by our Fellow.

These are just a few examples of how we are helping the Fisher House patients. There are still many states that are not yet up and running, but we hope that those Fellows, who would like to help out, will contact their District officers and join in this wonderful project. Check out our website and find out more information or contact your Regent or Deputy Regent to work with the Fisher House in your state. To see if your state has a Fisher House, check out their web site at Fisherhouse.org.

Ted Roberson, our Deputy Registrar, can also be contacted for information and will be following up to see that this wonderful project is continuing to grow across the United States. Ted can be reached at [email protected]. Thanks to all of the Fellows who are working hard to make this a success.

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.

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.

ICD S PON SOR S WH ITE COAT CE R E MON I E S

The 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.

The Hygiene Students of Clayton University in Georgia are proud to be entering the world of clinical care.

I 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

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

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.

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

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 2 3 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 3 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,

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!

William O. Butler, MS, Honorary Fellow

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.

Bill has come up through the leadership chairs in many educational organizations.

The building is complete and the long-awaited container full of equipment and supplies will arrive at the clinic in June. A Patterson Dental

equipment specialist will travel to install the equipment in the near future. Everyone at the hospital and in the community are very excited about the new, modern clinic and the services it will provide. A June 2014 trip is being planned and any ICD Fellows interested in an adventure of a lifetime into the Kenyan culture and to see first hand what ICD humanitarian efforts are accomplishing in Kenya should contact Dr. Bill Hunter at [email protected] for details.

Efforts at the clinic have been very successful. The clinic has five Kenyan Dentists and a full staff supporting amazing services to the Kenyan community. The Clinic received volunteers from Global Dental Relief and treated 1,941 children in February 2013 and have plans to return yearly. For more information on volunteering at the Kikuyu Hospital Dental Clinic, please visit www.globaldentalrelief.org.

Dr. Jim Murphy, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and his wife, Barbara, volunteered for most of 2012. Dr. Murphy developed an oral and maxillofacial surgical department suitable to receive through Health Volunteers Overseas (www.hvousa.org). Volunteers will provide clinical and didactic training to 11 oral and maxillofacial surgery undergraduate students enrolled in the four-year Masters of Science program at the School of Dental Sciences. Training will

be provided to two community Dental Officers as well as the Graduate Oral and Maxillofacial Registrars which rotate through PCEA Kikuyu Mission Hospital. Volunteers must be fully-trained, board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons who hold a current license to practice. Assignments are two weeks and housing is provided.

Dr. James Orban, Founder/Director, Children’s International Dental Project (www.dentalvolunteers.com) is planning to bring a group of volunteers in June of 2013.

Dr. Marcelo Suzuki, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, will be traveling to Kenya in September to put on a Maxillofacial Prosthetic Workshop at the Clinic. This educational experience will be open to all those interested in the Kenyan Dental Community.

Congratulations go to Dr. Johnson Wambugu, the dental officer in charge, who was recently approved to be a Fellow in the ICD. The work he has accomplished to build the success and reputation of the Clinic is truly remarkable. The ICD should be proud of the support it has provided to these projects in Kenya. Volunteer efforts continue to expand. The Kenyan community is extremely grateful and proud of all these efforts. Asante Sana!

TWO N EW DVD S

The BOR approved funding for

a Promotional Video and a scripted slide presentation at its 2012 Spring Meeting, as part of a major effort to provide cutting edge communications to support and promote our activities and projects. The purpose of the video is to sustain the pride our Fellows experience as they are inducted into the Section and also make the public more aware of our many contributions. These DVDs will promote the USA Section by providing two versions of pertinent information, one professionally done and one done in-house. Both will be made available to all of the Section constituencies.

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. It will be available on our website, www.usa-icd.org, as well. Dr. Margot Cullota-Norton, Regent of District 4, and her committee deserve recognition for their efforts in developing this video.

The narrated Share the Honor scripted slide presentation is being developed by Dr. Ted Roberson, 2010 Past President, and Paula Rinaudo, our PR Consultant. This is an in-house effort that will provide a more detailed and informative view and history of the USA Section. It will also be available for distribution after the 2013 Spring BOR Meeting and will serve as a supplement to the Promotional Video. It will be available to Fellows in DVD format and placed on our website as well.

Both DVDs will be valuable as promotional products in the Section’s efforts to establish and nurture corporate sponsorship and as mechanisms to help keep our Fellows engaged in USA Section service and leadership activities.

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.

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. Of course,

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.

In Fellowship,

The 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.

and is willing to call and advocate for the ICD request.

Since its creation by the Dallas County Dental

Society in 2007, Great Expectations, Mentoring

Professionalism (GEMP) has been warmly

embraced by those schools participating. ICD-USA Section

picked up the program as a complement to our Leadership

Initiative in 2009. What started as a dentist to student

mentoring program has evolved into a student to student

mentoring program, distinguishing GEMP from many other

types of mentoring programs. Reports from the programs

in Texas claim that, “The upperclassmen have been very

helpful and give the first-year students one more person

to talk to.” This regular peer-to-peer contact provides not

only immediate help to young professionals, but is seen

to lay the ground work for future attitudes of our young

colleagues. The information that ICD-USA provides to

those interested in starting a GEMP program is referred

to as The Packet. It provides a wealth of information on the

program, including its origins, outline of existing programs,

testimonials, as well as supplementary background

information.

According to Dr. Peter Korch, Chair, this committee

will be surveying the dental schools to see how many

already have mentoring programs so they can focus on

newer schools without programs. They intend to also

contact dental schools annually with information about

GEMP, contact the ASDA chapters annually, and recruit

dental students to speak at regional and national dental

student meetings.

There are many different directions I could take for this report but I thought the most beneficial would be to share my experience and the impact that this trip had on my life and future as a practitioner.

The relationship between Moldova and North Carolina began in March 2000 when Dr. Hershey, Dr. Kriegsman, Dr. Mumford, and Dr. Mackler visited the country. After this visit there was a regular exchange of faculty and dentists culminating in dental students joining the project in 2007. The UNC School of Dentistry’s 2012 Moldova project team consisted of three UNC faculty along with second and third year UNC dental students. There were also military faculty that we worked with as well. The team traveled to Chisinau where they treated individuals in three different clinics.

Straseni was the largest of the three sites and is an orphanage where we were able to set up two dental chairs. 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. It was in the DiaDent clinic which was a private office of one of the Moldovan dentists

who shut down their practice so that we could treat patients in her office. There were three chairs at this clinic and was run by one fourth year UNC dental student, two faculty, and two Moldovan dental students.

We split up and rotated through the various clinics based on our skills and the skills needed at that clinic. I spent three of my days at the DiaDent Clinic where I personally treated over ten patients a day. A majority of the younger children I saw had the beginnings of occlusal decay and required either sealants or conservative composite resin restorations. It was a great service in my opinion to catch the decay early to prevent further destruction of the teeth and to also provide oral hygiene instructions to the care givers to prevent future decay. For some of the older children we saw who had not had previous sealants, greater treatment was required. 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.

The International Student Exchange Subcommittee of the International College of Dentists, USA Section, annually presents one of our participating exchange students with The Richard C. Rice Scholars Award for the best post-exchange report.

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!

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 and when we arrived in Moldova they were waiting to show us their school and culture. Additionally, we treated patients together with the Moldovans, taking turns assisting and operating. Throughout the process we discussed the thought process behind what we were doing and why we were doing

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. It was an amazing experience to be able to scrub into cases and see the techniques 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.

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.

He and his wife, Barb loved the Navy and the countless lifelong friends they made. He retired in 1989 and then had ten “fantastic” years as Secretary General of the ICD

became his cherished church home. He then spent his next thirteen years volunteering wherever he was needed

where he had once been commander at the end of his Navy career.

He loved most of all spending time with his grandchildren and as much time as possible at Little Point Sable in Michigan. “Bop”, as his family called him, was a leader all of his life, first to his family and then to the many organizations and people in them. He had untiring energy, enthusiasm, and a gift for communicating and mentoring.

Dr. Shaffer was interred at Arlington National Cemetery on November 16, 2012. His casket was carried to his gravesite by horse-drawn caisson with his family and friends walking behind. The service began with a brass band and ended with a bugler playing “Taps”. The color guard, 13-gun cannon fire salute, 3-volley gun salute, ceremonial flag folding by eight Navy Sailors, and presentation to Barb Shaffer

to the beauty of this touching and memorable service. Lon Solomon, Senior Pastor of McLane Bible Church and the Shaffers’ long-time friend gave stirring eulogy from his personal perspective.

Granite as black as the smoke of war,A name to touch and cry,An epitaph of sacrifice,And still the question – Why?

A rose – a note – a sigh –Frustration wrought with angerThat fate chose these to die.

They never asked for glory,Just a grave of homeland sod,They gave their lives for country,Now they answer but to God.

Could tears but wash the pain awayAnd heal a nation’s scar,That men may find a better wayThan futile acts of war.

Pray their death was not in vain –A lesson to recall:A future world without the needOf names upon a wall.

DISTRICT 2NEW YORKEditor: 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 analy-sis 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 inevi-table 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 prob-lem 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 differ-ence 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 prac-tices; and, that the population will find the

T H E K E Y / 2 01362


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 lik-ened 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 creat-ing 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 prac-tice? 2) What will be their educational back-ground? 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 appear-ance of dental therapists will be that society will continue to have the same exact prob-lems 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 recog-nition 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

20 new Fellows this past year. In introduc-ing 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 appli-cation 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.

DISTRICT 4DISTRICT OF COLUMBIAEditor: George P. Thomas

Two thousand twelve was another pro-ductive year for the District of Columbia Chapter of the International College of Dentists. Our Chapter Fellows were very well represented in the ADA’s Give Kids a Smile Day in February and we continue to participate in the Peace Corps initiative. The ICD-sponsored “Leadership Summit” at the Howard University Dental School was a great success and the speaker was Dr. Dennis Stiles our Deputy Regent. The purpose of this summit was to encourage the students to become active and involved in both their community and in their pro-fession. Students were presented with the Stephen Covey Book, “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” and lunch was provided.

On May 2, 2012 the D.C. Chapter and the Metropolitan Section of the American College of Dentists had a combined dinner meeting. The speaker was Mr. Douglas F. Gansler, the Attorney General of Maryland, who discussed the current controversies of DNA testing in violent criminals and the banning of arsenic in the chicken feed. We invited the ICD Dental Student Award win-ner from Howard University to this dinner and acknowledged his accomplishments.

The ICD DC Chapter was honored to be a participant at the White Coat Ceremony held in September 2012 at the Howard University College of Dentistry. Dr. Margaret Culotta-Norton, our District 4 Regent, spoke at the ceremony.

Our chapter proudly initiated four new candidates for Fellowship in ICD. They are: Dr. Robert Argentieri, Dr. Robert Emery, Dr. Patrick Grogan, and Dr. Stan Mayer. We salute their achievements and are delighted to welcome them as Fellows.

A joint ICD/ACD meeting was held November 14, 2012. We had a stimulat-ing presentation from Mr. Tom Spangler,

Director of Legislative and Regulatory Affairs of the ADA regarding the poten-tial effects of the Affordable Care Act on Dentistry. During the meeting some of our members were recognized for their member-ship milestones. They were presented with fifteen and twenty-five year pins.

MARYLANDEditor: M. Pitkin Johnson, Jr.

The Maryland Chapter, under the capable leadership of Deputy Regent Edwin Morris, continues to be a strong component within a very interesting and diversified District 4. Five new Fellows were received into membership in San Francisco, where several Marylanders played a major role at the site of the ADA Convention. The USA Section of the ICD was led in 2012 by W. Michael Kenney, who introduced many new initia-tives for our organization’s future growth. Like all successful men, credit must be given to a supporting spouse, and Peggy has cer-tainly been Mike’s best cheerleader in his rise to President of the USA Section.

Finally, to conclude the year, the Annual Business Meeting of the Maryland Chapter was held at the Columbia Sheraton Hotel on November 13, 2012 with Dean Christian Stohler as guest speaker. The meeting included a champaign toast to Mike Kenney and the awarding of 15-year pins to Sam Blum, Fred Magaziner, Bill Martin, Fred Preis, and John Davliakos (absent). Regretfully, a 25 year pin to honor H. Berton McCauley, Jr., age 98, could not be awarded because he passed away a few weeks prior. Bert had been Chief of Dental Health in Baltimore from 1949 through 1975. His other

accomplishments were Past President of the Academy for the History of Dentistry, historian of MSDA, and a generous sup-porter of the National Museum of Dentistry.

Many more Fellows of the Maryland Chapter are deserving of recognition in 2012; suffice it to say that with a member-ship of only 98, the Maryland Chapter is proud of all of its Fellows, as well as proud of the contributions of the USA Section.

DISTRICT 5ALABAMAEditor: Jane Puskas

Fifteen Alabama Fellows met on Saturday, February 4, 2012 in Birmingham in conjunc-tion with the University of Alabama’s Dental School Alumni weekend. They received updates on leadership development efforts involving ICD with the dental school.

GEORGIA

Congratulat ions to District 5 and to Editor, Jane Puskas of Atlanta, Georgia for receiving the award for the best USA Section District or Chapter newsletter for 2011. The selection was made by the Journalism Committee following

the spring 2012 Savannah meeting and Dr. Puskas received the award at the annual meeting in San Francisco. The Keynews is sent to all District 5 Fellows.

Dr. Puskas says that editing the Keynews opened her eyes to the incredible projects that Fellows were involved with in District 5.

DISTRICT 6

DISTRICT 7INDIANAEditor: Marc Smith

The Indiana Chapter of the International College held its first-ever joint luncheon with the Indiana American College on Friday, June 8, 2012, in conjunction with the Indiana Dental Association Annual Meeting. Our guest speaker was Dean John N. Williams who spoke on several points of leadership and about plans to expand the Indiana University School of Dentistry. The combined meeting was well received and plans for a joint Breakfast are underway for 2013.

Our Indiana Chapter had the unexpected oppor-tunity to help Winston Fiore, a young, former Marine Sergeant veteran of Afghanistan and Senegal. Winston planned to raise money for the International C h i l d r e n ’ s S u r g i c a l Foundation by walking on a 408 day, 5000 mile walk through Vietnam, China, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand and Laos.

The ICSF provides free cleft lip and palate corrective surgery for indigent children in third-world countries. His original goal was to raise $10,000, thus providing corrective surgery for about 40 children. 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 informa-tion 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!

We are pleased to announce the addi-tion of new leaders in both the 7th District and the Indiana Section. David Holwager, former Deputy Regent from Indiana will step into the 7th District Regent’s role so ably performed over the past several years by Jeanne Nicolette from Ohio. Dan Fridh,

The Maryland Chapter annually presents the Clendenin Award to the most outstanding academic achiever at the U of MD Dental School. The 2012 recipient was Devon Allison, who is a DDS/PhD student.

A highlight of the Chapter’s Annual Meeting was a presentation by USA President Mike Kenney of a Presidential Citation to Michael Belenky for all the work that he did to facilitate the ICD’s Student International Health Initiative.

Thomas F. Graham of Canton, Hans Guter of Circleville, John N. Kramer of Martins Ferry, Steven E. Parker of Massilon, and George T. Williams of Canton. Please see the Seventh District congratulatory ad in the back of this publication.

The Callahan Celebration of Excellence is held yearly at the Ohio Dental Association annual meeting. Honors went out to two of our Fellows this year. Dominic Bitonte received the ODA’s Achievement Award. 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 leader-ship 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 out-standing 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 White Coat Ceremony at the CWRU School of Dental Medicine was held on July 30, 2012. Dean Jerold Goldberg welcomed the men and women of the class of 2016 to the profession. As part of the ceremony Chris Connell delivered the ICD’s message of leadership and profes-sionalism. Of the seventy-four students in the class, eleven of them are legacies. Best wishes to all of the students, and parents, of the class of 2016.

The Ohio Section and The Seventh District of the ICD will see some changes in leadership in 2013. David Holwager of Indiana is the new Regent, replacing Jeanne Nicolette. Outgoing Vice-Regent Marc Smith is replaced by Billie Sue Kyger, and the new state Deputy Regents are Dan Fridh of Indiana and Denise Hering of Ohio. Pictured are Vice-Regent Billie Sue Kyger and past Regent Jeanne Nicolette at the 2012 Convocation ceremony.

DISTRICT 8ILLINOISEditor: Terri S. Tiersky

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 informa-tion 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

were Dr. Francis (Frank) Serio along with Eighth District Fellow Dr. Mark Humenik. The seminar highlighted the nuts and bolts of organizing various dental humanitar-ian 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 volun-teerism, 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!

We honored our new Fellows that eve-ning in San Francisco with dinner and danc-ing 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 practitio-ner 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 break-fast 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 plea-sure 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 gen-erations 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 den-tal 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 camara-derie, this luncheon gives us the oppor-tunity 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 profes-sion at the local, state and national levels.

He has been involved in the monitoring of governmental and legislative actions that may have an effect on our profes-sion in both Illinois and Washington, D.C. Dr. Cross served on the ADA Council on Governmental Affairs from 1988-1992, serv-ing as the Chair from 1991-1992. He was ADA First Vice President from 1997-1998. He has served in both the ADA and the ISDS House of Delegates. The Illinois State Dental Society honored Dr. Cross in 2006 for his 35 years of service by naming him an honorary President of the Society. Dr. Cross is only the second member to receive this honor. Not only has Dr. Cross served our profes-sion tirelessly, but he also serves his com-munity. He has provided leadership to his Church in Springfield; and is involved with the Sangamon County Heart Association, the Springfield School Board Advisory Committee, The Boy Scouts of America and the Kiwanis Club of Springfield. Congratulations to Dr. Chauncey Cross, a most deserving Weclew Award recipient. We are blessed to have you in the Eighth District!

DISTRICT 9MICHIGANRon Paler: Regent

Michigan ICD has been very active and busy with activities and programs. Our signature project is the Student Exchange Program. In 2012 we sent two students to Baru, Brazil and in return hosted five students from Brazil in November. Lauren Ehardt, and Priyanka Iyer, and a faculty member, Dr. Katherine Kelly had the opportunity to visit the University of Sao Paulo, School of Dentistry, and the internationally renowned

Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies in Baru.

Your leadership has been working this past year on an Applied Strategic Plan that incorporates our three key elements: Integrity, Leadership, and Service. Our facil-itator was ICD Fellow Bob Frazer, an expert

in Strategic Planning. The process moves from Vision through Core Values to Mission and finally a Business and Contingency Model. The ASP was approved by the BOR and is a working document.

The Fellowship Orientation Program Committee has produced a six minute video for showing at the Candidate Induction Convocation and for use by all state and international constituents. I am proud to report that Michigan is well represented in the video and you will recognize many of our Michigan Fellows in the video.

We are a unique organization that has had a big impact improving oral health care throughout the world. The Michigan ICD donated $5,000 toward MOM.

the historic St. Paul Hotel for their annual meeting.

New members were introduced; once again no old members had died.

There was a shakeup in the hierarchy of the organization, the laissez-faire doc-trine of the past where the President served as a Pope or Supreme Court Justice was overturned and a structured term of office for officers was adopted. The following cou-rageous members stepped forward:

Bruce Bates…PresidentLoren Taple…President-ElectPam Erickson…Secretary-TreasurerTim Langguth…Past PresidentTom Fellman…District 10 Regent

The officers were duly sworn in by Dr. Bashar Bakdash.

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 through-out 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 cul-ture shock. Denmark was quite pleasant for

her, especially since most Danes are fluent in English rather than Kyrgyzstani. Maria reports that 90% of the dental students are female. 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 success-ful year for the Minnesota Chapter of the International College, we hope once again for a minimal loss of life for our geriatric members.

Respectfully submitted,Bill Stein

NEBRASKAEditor: James Jenkins

Two thousand twelve marked another successful year for the International College of Dentists Nebraska Chapter. Our current roster of officers is: Dr. Larry Haisch, Deputy Regent; Dr. Mark Minchow, President; Dr. Paula Harre, Treasurer; Dr. Deb West, Secretary; Dr. James Jenkins, Editor; and Drs. Henry St. Germain, Joan Sivers, and Myron Pudwill, Counselors.

The Nebraska Chapter continued its philanthropic efforts through the year, which included sponsoring student scholar-ships 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 contin-ued 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 inter-national 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.

We were happy to accept into Fellowship this year Dr. Carol M. Murdock and Dr. Sundaralingam Premaraj . Dr. Murdock is an Associate Professor and Chair of the General Dentistry Department at the Creighton University School of Dentistry. Dr. Premaraj is an Associate Professor and Director of the Orthodontic Program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry. We are honored to have each of them among our ranks as a Nebraska Chapter ICD Fellow.

We are looking forward to a very successful 2012; continuing our philanthrop-ic and charitable activities, increasing the number of our Fellows, and continuing to fulfill the mission of the International College of Dentists.

NORTH DAKOTAEditor: Gregory J. Johnson

The North Dakota Chapter of the ICD met in Bismarck, North Dakota on September 14, 2012 in conjunction with the North Dakota Dental Association. This year an ICD member, Mike Goebel was awarded the NDDA Outstanding Achievement Award. The Outstanding Achievement Award was established to recognize mem-bers of the association who have made monumental contributions of service to

the dental profession, to their community, or to humanity in general.

Mike Goebel maintains a pediat-ric 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 den-tal experiences as an opportunity to intro-duce dentistry as a pleasant part of health care. Each age provides a different chal-lenge 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.

The members of the North Dakota ICD voted to donate $1500to the North Dakota State College of Science Dental Department for their clinic renovation. William Hunter has completed his term as our deputy regent. Thank you Dr. Hunter. Kristin Kenner of Devils Lake, our past treasurer, was elected as our new Deputy Regent. John Clayburgh of Grand Forks, was elected as the new treasurer/coun-selor. Tom Fellman, Fargo, continues to serve as the District 10 Regent. The North Dakota ICD remains committed to the Chogoria Hospital Dental Clinic Project. This project in Kenya, Africa has developed under the guidance of our past Deputy Regent William Hunter. The North Dakota Constituency welcomes our new members: Brad Kasson, Fargo, Jay Anderson, Grand Forks, and Roger Amundson, Grand Forks.

SOUTH DAKOTAEditor: Curtis Johnson

Tom Peterson and wife, Sandi, Sioux Falls, continue to spend time traveling and enjoy-ing 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, con-tinues 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, walk-ing and traveling by car to visit children and grandchildren. Annually, the Feigums drive to the Four Freshmen Society conven-tions 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, haul-ing prefab houses and office structures to North Dakota and Canada from Minnesota. Christopher continues his opera career, per-forming twice this year at the Met. He was performing there when Hurricane Sandy passed through New York City. The perfor-mance (ironically, “The Tempest”) went on as scheduled.

At the ICD-USA 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 San Francisco, Curtis

Johnson, Scotland, was elected President-Elect 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, put-ting 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 volun-teerism 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 hand-in-hand with a larger project that includes addressing some of the worst oral health disparities in the nation through preven-tion 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.

“Smile of Excellence” awards were pre-sented 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 mini-mum 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.

WASHINGTONEditor: Richard Mielke

This year several Fellows of the Washington Chapter received recognition for outstand-ing 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 orga-nized 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 instruc-tor 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 low-income adults.

A l s o a 2 0 1 1 inductee and a past WSDA Citizen of the Year award recipi-ent, Theresa Cheng was recognized by the WSDA in a WSDA NEWS article about her efforts to bring dental care to returning veter-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 col-lectively 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 flying to remote vil-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 present-ing 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 trans-lated 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 previ-ously chair of the school’s pediatric den-tistry 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

WSDA Citizen of the Year Peter Lubisich with his family.

to recognize leadership and achievement. The ICD Leadership Award went to Brittany Dean, while Stona Jackson and Alexandra Cristescu received $1500 Burns Guthrie Memorial Scholarships. The scholarships are named for the late Deputy Regent, who was often recognized for his leadership and dedication to our profession.

Leadership changes were also a part of our year. David Houten moved up to District 11 Vice-Regent and Lorin Peterson became our new Deputy Regent. Dexter Barnes is now Vice President of the ICD USA Section.

DISTRICT 12ARKANSASDeputy Regent: Niki Carter

The Arkansas State Dental Meeting was held in April and two ICD members were honored for outstanding service.

Terry Fiddler was recognized for his extraordinary service to the dental profes-sion and the citizens of our state as chairman of the AR Mission of Mercy. The Board of Directors of ARMOM Incorporated present-ed him with an award of recognition.

Herman Hurd was presented the Distinguished Service Award given by the AR State Dental Association, the highest award that a colleague can receive for past years of service to our profession.

NEIL LOVERIDGE HONORED IN ANAHEIM

The ICD and the ACD held their spring award breakfast in Anaheim May 4, 2012. The event honored L. Neil Loveridge, DDS, and the ICD Student Leadership Awardees. 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. For ICD District 13, Dr. Loveridge served as Editor, Deputy and Vice Regent, and Regent. He is still involved in dentistry with our honorary organizations and in his volunteer work.

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 teach-ing 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.

HAWAIIRegent: Nora Harmsen

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.

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 experi-ence. 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

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 grate-ful 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.

UTAHEditor: Richard C. Engar

The annual meeting of the Utah Chapter of the USA Section convened its annual break-fast 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 ICD-USA 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 encour-aged 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.

T h e n e x t speaker was ICD Fellow Dr. Charles E. Foster who was serving as the UDA Convention Chair for the twen-ty-fourth time! Dr. Foster commented that convention attendance was 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 instru-mental in facilitating the Fisher House proj-ect 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 encour-aged 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 mem-bers and emphasized what a privilege it was

for him to represent a portion of Arizona as well as the dental profession. He com-mented 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 com-mented how he is a product of dentistry and mentors such as Dr. A. J. Smith.

Dr. Smith was the concluding speak-er 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 15TEXASRegent: 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 pres-ent 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 big-ger and better with more faculty and private practice mentors and more events and inter-action 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 presi-dency 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 high-light of the meeting was a presentation of the ICD President’s award to Dr. C. Moody Alexander. Dr. Kevin Seidler presented the

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!”

DISTRICT 16NORTH CAROLINA

ART VISITS UNCBy 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 demonstra-tion on Atraumatic Restorative Technique

(ART) to students, residents, and fac-ulty. Dr. Frencken ( D e p a r t m e n t of Global Oral Health Nijmegen, N e t h e r l a n d s ) and Dr. Leal ( D e p a r t m e n t o de Odontogia, Universidade de Brasilia, Brazil) are almost exclusively promoting ART worldwide. Their experience of pio-neering and refin-ing the ART tech-nique for a variety of different clini-cal scenarios over

the past decade was presented to the audi-ence 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 restora-tions 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 cur-rent international interest in the technique.

In a protocol demonstrated by Dr. Frencken, the specific hand instru-ments and materi-als of ART allow the trained dentist to efficiently remove unsupported enam-el around carious lesions, excavate the infected inner material, and restore the tooth without the use of electric hand pieces or curing lights. The ‘enamel excess cutter’ 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 prepa-ration and is self limiting, creating a con-servative preparation that allows access for excavation. Self-curing modified glass ionomer cement is usually the restora-tion 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 pri-mary 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 opportu-nity 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 Leal’s visit.

VIRGINIAEditor: Richard Roadcap

The year 2012 began with the first edition of “Sphere”, the online newsletter of the ICD 16th District. Regent Dr. William Bennett hopes to create a sense of commu-nity 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 schol-arships. 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 Dean’s Fund at VCU for Ethics Education. Drs. Mayer Levy, Ralph Howell and John Willhide received awards for service to the commu-nity 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 year’s meeting in New Orleans.
