American College of Dentists

Rockville is Occupied!

After years of planning, the ACD Executive Office has relocated operations to our Rockville building.

Sorting through and packing over 30 years of records and materials was an arduous task, requiring all staff members and three summer interns to effectively accomplish. The unpacking at 103 North Adams Street in Rockville was aided by volunteers and lasted for several weeks, but the new office now feels like “home.”

ACD Executive Office in Rockville, Maryland.

The new building houses office and workspace for the staff, the ACD Foundation, and an archive and library. Also included in the building is a tenant suite, which the College is delighted to announce has been leased by the Pierre Fauchard Academy.

The library and archive is open to our Fellows by appointment.

The building was purchased in 2013 after serious discussion by the Board

about diversifying and broadening the ACD and ACDF assets to protect from serious market downturns, like the one experienced in 2008. With the charters tied to the State of Maryland, it was necessary to stay relatively close, but better access to public transportation and the nonprofit hub of Washington, DC, were high on the list of desirable attributes.

With Bethesda and Chevy Chase unattainable due to high real estate costs, then-ACD Executive Director Stephen Ralls, along with Patricia Blanton and Scott Waugh, ACDF and ACD Presidents, respectively, turned to the Montgomery County seat— Rockville. According to Dr. Ralls, “The building on North Adams Street had the best of what was envisioned: great location, adequate square footage, parking, mid-1980s vintage, and it was constructed to commercial standards.” (continued on page 4)

President’s Forum

THE PULSE:

Are we truly meeting the oral health and total health care needs of the most vulnerable citizens in all our communities?

Leo E. Rouse, DDS, FACD President of the American College of Dentists

S

ir Winston Churchill famously opined that “no matter how grand the strategy—we must occasionally look at the results.”

Throughout my career, we, as an oral health care workforce, have developed many policies and programs to improve oral health and oral health care delivery for the general population and that is laudable. But what about populations at risk? Are we truly meeting the oral health and total health care needs of the most vulnerable citizens in all our communities? To answer this question, we must “pulse” the community and get the input from those most affected by the decisions that are made. As a general measure of health, the pulse is important and although there’s a wide range of normal, an unusually high or low pulse or an erratic rate may indicate an underlying problem.

Early recognition of the problem portends a more favorable outcome and regular pulse checks are necessary.

Recently, the National Coalition of Dentists for Health Equity (NCDHE) released a statement on oral healthcare disparities that greatly and negatively impact those most vulnerable. They also remind us that we cannot forget Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s 1966 statement: “Of all forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.”

As the conscience of dentistry, the American College of Dentists is committed to the professional responsibility of striving for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This 2 | ACD News | Summer 2021

commitment is inherent in our mission to advance excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership. That commitment must be manifest in our professional practice, and not simply theoretical.

reflection and dialogue as a profession.”

Although the next two issues will be entirely devoted to the topic, it will remain a regular feature of the eJACD, providing an opportunity for us to engage with one another regularly.

I submit to you that the missions of the American College of Dentists have been inordinately stressed during the pandemic, and we have resolved to remain steadfast in our commitment to ethical leadership at the Regency and Section components of our College. Our local leaders and Fellows, unsurprisingly, have met that challenge directly, regularly, and remarkably.

As health care providers and leaders, we fully understand the importance of taking the pulse of our patients, a key vital sign; but let us not forget how biases can contribute to the inequities and inequalities in health care delivery.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has indicated that social determinants of health (SDoH) are not just an adjunct element to our health care ecosystem, but increasingly drive the definition of health care.

I have witnessed a reframing of the College’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion at all levels through my virtual visits to Regency meetings, leadership summits, and specific programs related to DEI. I am especially proud of our SPEA chapters and their leadership; supported by our outstanding Regents and Section Chairs with their commitment to ethical discussions related to social and racial justice.

In the next two issues of the eJACD, matters related to DEI will be highlighted by distinguished colleagues.

I share with you a quote from our Communications Director, Nanette R. Elster, JD, MPH, “In keeping with the mission of the ACD, to advance excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership in dentistry, the hope is that the articles presented in the eJACD will spark ongoing dialogue that will lead not only to personal reflection but

We are called at this moment in history to take our own collective, professional pulse to ensure better healthcare outcomes for all. The American College of Dentists will continue to look for opportunities to collaborate with other national organizations focused on dental education, research, oral health equity, diversity, inclusion, and social justice. Fellows, stay tuned for more conversation as we continue to lead as the conscience of dentistry.

Communicable and Noncommunicable Diseases—A Global Dialogue Theresa S. Gonzales, DMD, MS, MSS, FACD

F

or more than sixteen months, we have been justifiably focused on the global pandemic and the devastation wrought by COVID 19.

Our collective experiences underscore the current realization that infectious diseases continue to emerge and re-emerge. Historically, re-emergence can and does happen because of a breakdown in public health measures for diseases that were previously under control. The emergence/ re-emergence cycle portends challenges not only in infectious disease management but also in developing the appropriate public health response. At present, the global disease mitigation battle rages on two fronts—containing the spread of communicable diseases while simultaneously combating noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).

It is widely known that noncommunicable diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and they constitute one of the major challenges for sustainable development in the twentyfirst century. Global analyses of disease burdens provide a useful framework to guide the development of policy in response to disease changes. Recently, it has become increasingly evident that efforts to strengthen health systems through improved data collection and disease and risk factor surveillance systems must integrate oral health.

More than a decade ago, the results of the Global Burden of Disease Study (1990–2010) revealed that “oral diseases affect 3.9 billion people worldwide and untreated tooth decay (dental caries) touches almost half of

Global health issues remind us—perhaps more than any other issue—that we are all children of the same extended family.

–Kathleen Sebelius the world’s population (44%), making it the most prevalent of all the 291 conditions included in this study.” (https://ncdalliance.org/sites/ default/files/resource_files/ AcceleratingActionOnOralHealthAndNCDs_ WEB.pdf)

In 2011, at the UN Summit – the international dental community informed by this ongoing discussion saw an opportunity to move dentistry out of its silo and further resolved to reframe oral health in the larger context of noncommunicable disease. Striving for greater equity across all dimensions of oral health, including reducing disease burden and risk exposure, expanding access to care and prevention, and improving empowerment and participation energized global champions for the iterative development of new oral health policy.

A decade later, a resolution on oral health was adopted at WHO’s 2021 World Health Assembly. “The resolution calls for the development of a global oral health strategy by 2022 and action plan by 2023, including a monitoring framework aligned with non-communicable disease (NCD)…”

it is widely known that prevention is a public health priority. Disease prevention depends on many factors like access to health care and supplies, infrastructure, quality health education and access to available resources.

Moreover, prevention interventions that target modifiable risk factors and promote healthy living, such as education about NCDs and their risk factors are crucially important.

As oral health care providers and trusted members of the health care community, we have a pivotal role in educating and supporting patients to adopt lifestyle changes in order to reduce the prevalence of NCDs. As a profession, we have always understood the role of prevention of disease in achieving optimized health. To this end, we have prioritized prevention strategies by closing the information and as well as the implementation gap.

In the weeks and months to follow, there will be much said on this topic and I would encourage dentists to engage in this ongoing dialogue as we make every effort to reduce the burden of both communicable and noncommunicable disease at home and abroad.

The question of how to pay for the purchase was answered when an anonymous donor stepped forward with a generous gift of $1,000,000.

Assisting with the purchase were Drs. Patricia Blanton and Jerome Miller. The modest loan that made up the rest of the purchase was retired shortly thereafter.

On June 2, 2021, seven years after it was purchased and three years after the Board of Regents authorized the move, the building on 103 North Adams Street is now the permanent home of the American College of Dentists and the American College of Dentists Foundation.

American College of Dentists Foundation: On Our Semicentennial Eve Stephen A. Ralls, DDS, EdD, MSD President, American College of Dentists Foundation

T

he American College of Dentists celebrated its centennial last August 20th, the first of three special anniversaries in the same short window. Next up this fall, the Fellowship class of 2021 will mark one hundred years since the induction of the first Fellows in 1921. Then, next year, 2022 signals the fiftieth anniversary of the American College of Dentists Foundation, which was established in 1972. With the Centennial Capital Campaign well underway, and with the looming semicentennial as context, this overview captures the purposive and functional highlights of our Foundation from both organizational and donor perspectives. It also emphasizes the Foundation’s critical role in helping the American College of Dentists fulfill its mission.

The American College of Dentists Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization that is aligned with, and directly supportive of, the American College of Dentists. It does have an inherent limitation. By its very nature, our Foundation has to rely on

6 | ACD News | Summer 2021

charitable donations to exist—it is not a business with a commercial revenue stream nor is it an organization with dues-paying members. Over its nearly fifty years of existence, the Foundation has steadily grown to essentially become the College’s power supply.

On the surface that seems an odd claim for an institution that has never had any employees. While it may seem unusual, it bespeaks the cooperative relationship the Foundation has had with the College since its founding.

It is an unfortunate but stark reality for any organization that a budget is the dream-limiting governor on the throttle.

Typically, an organization’s plans can only be as ambitious and visionary as the budget allows. Fortunately, our Foundation continues to grow, and along with it the potential for greater and greater impact. The key point here is that our Foundation does not grow because we wish it so. It grows because of the generosity of Fellows and friends like you who believe that what we do is important to our profession and oral health care.

How can you help? The simple answer is, please consider a gift to the American College of Dentists Foundation. As shown through the examples below, gifts may take a variety of forms and can be something done immediately, paid in installments over time, or as a pledge for future fulfilment.

• Cash •

Estate bequests

•

Real estate

• Securities •

Charitable trusts

•

Life insurance policies

•

Retirement accounts

• Annuities Gifts to our Foundation are recognized.

Currently, for a donation of $500 you can personalize a brick for the walkway of our new building in Rockville. Larger gifts can identify you as a Gies Fellow or Gies Benefactor, and even more substantial gifts can place you in one of several Circle levels from Bronze through Centennial. Regardless of the type, if you would like to consider a gift to our Foundation, or if you need more information, please contact Dr. Theresa Gonzales at our Executive Office, 301977-3223 or email tgonzales@acd.org.

In general, gifts to a 501(c)(3) public charity, such as the American College of Dentists Foundation, are deductible to the extent allowed under federal income, gift, and estate tax laws and regulations. Please consult your tax advisor in advance relative to your particular situation.

Why Give? There are several important professional reasons to give: •

You are supporting the noble mission of the College in advancing excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership in dentistry.

•

You are helping strengthen and improve dentistry, both as a profession and as a healthcare delivery system.

Past presidents of the College and Foundation, Drs. Stilwill and Connolly, with Dr. Stephen Ralls, past president of the ACD and current president of the ACDF. •

You are helping confront and address rising pressures of commercialism and other less-than-ethical forces impacting oral healthcare.

•

You are helping improve the ethical climate of dentistry.

•

You are helping promote ethical leadership.

•

You are assisting an effort to ultimately improve the oral health of the public.

below and elsewhere in this issue, but please note that more information is available on the College’s website.

•

There are also important personal reasons to give: •

You decide where your assets will go.

•

You can leave a named legacy and, depending on the situation, one planned for perpetuity.

•

You have the satisfaction of giving back.

•

You have the satisfaction of supporting a noble professional cause.

•

Your donations may provide a valuable tax strategy.

What does the Foundation do? Your Foundation has an impressive record of making a difference in dentistry.

A few examples of support are listed

The Foundation has directly supported numerous projects and activities of the American College of Dentists, such as four Ethics Summits; Courses Online Dental Ethics (CODE); Dental History and the Archive Project; Ethics Handbook for Dentists; the Journal of the American College of Dentists; ethical dilemma videos; growth of our cyber presence; ethics lectures and presentations; ethics scholarships; leadership scholarships; the Ethics and Professionalism Award; support for the Student Professionalism and Ethics Association; publication of the centennial history; the emerging ethics “curriculum in a box”; and much more.

•

In 1992 the Foundation purchased three contiguous office condominiums in Gaithersburg, Maryland, through the “Campaign for the 90s.” This property housed the executive office of the College and Foundation for nearly thirty years.

•

In 2013 the Foundation purchased an office building in

Rockville, Maryland, through the generosity of three donors—now the new headquarters of the College, the Foundation, and the Pierre Fauchard Academy.

Our Future and You. Dentistry is facing some very pivotal issues that, left unchallenged, chart a collision course with the basic tenets of our profession.

Your support of the American College of Dentists Foundation will directly help the College strengthen its efforts to keep our profession strong, vibrant, relevant, effective, and ethical—not resting on our reputation or past accomplishments but working tirelessly to improve the profession and its impact.

Please consider a gift. It will most definitely help, and your participation is important and appreciated. Thank you!

The Immediate Past President of the College serves as the President of the ACD Foundation, providing invaluable leadership and continuity. After serving 20 years as Executive Director of the College, Dr. Ralls was President of the ACD from October 2019-October 2020, shepherding the College through the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and our centennial anniversary.

Centennial Moment Alexander Gordon Lyle, DDS, FACD Vice Admiral, Dental Corps, US Navy Medal of Honor, Silver Star with Oak Leaf Cluster Stephen A. Ralls, DDS, EdD, MSD President, American College of Dentists Foundation

The collective Fellowship of the American College of Dentists has encompassed numerous, distinguished leaders from all walks of dentistry. Among this already elite assembly are some whose lives and accomplishments provoke an added sense of awe and amazement.

Alexander Gordon Lyle is one of those persons.

His list of achievements is truly remarkable.

As widely reported in newspapers on the one-year anniversary of Armistice Day, December 11, 1919, Dr. Lyle was one of two Navy dentists selected to receive the Medal of Honor for his service in World War I, the other being Lieutenant Junior Grade Weedon E. Osborne who received the award posthumously. The medal was designed by Tiffany and Co. in 1919.

Dr. Lyle and Dr. Osborne are the first and only Navy dentists so recognized.

8 | ACD News | Summer 2021

On March 13, 1943, Dr. Lyle became the first Navy dentist to be elevated to the rank of Rear Admiral. He also appears to be the first, and perhaps only, Navy dentist to have been retired at the rank of Vice Admiral. This was done through a “tombstone promotion,” which was a process in place at the time where combat-decorated naval officers could be promoted to the next higher rank at retirement.

Rear Admiral Lyle was inducted as a Fellow of the American College of Dentists in 1944, apparently while serving as Inspector of Dental Activities for the Navy. Emergency regulations of World War II prohibited large meetings and this policy prevented the College from holding Convocations from 1942 through 1946. To continue functioning under these wartime conditions, Sections

were asked to confer Fellowships locally. Admiral Lyle would have been inducted as Fellow in this manner, most likely in the fall of 1944 by the Washington, DC Section or Maryland Section. He remains the only Fellow of the American College of Dentists to have been awarded the Medal of Honor.

Alexander Gordon Lyle was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, on November 12, 1889, to James J. Lyle and Margaret D. MacFarlane. Both parents were of Canadian nativity. In 1912 he graduated from the Baltimore College of Dentistry and three years later, on April 21, 1915, he was appointed Assistant Dental Surgeon in the Navy Dental Corps. Dr. Lyle’s father was a mariner, which may have played a role in his choice to enter the Navy.

Although World War I began July 28,

1914, the United States did not enter the fray until April 6, 1917—almost two years after Dr. Lyle entered naval service.

Following his appointment in 1915, Dr. Lyle was ordered to the Naval Station, Newport, Rhode Island.

He remained there until June 1917 when he was assigned to the Fifth Regiment of Marines. He served with that regiment in France throughout the War. Dr. Lyle was recognized with a Silver Star (Army) and later the Medal of Honor—both awards apparently for the same action. The citations for the two awards are virtually identical and involve saving the life of Corporal Thomas Regan on April 23, 1918. The citation for the Medal of Honor reads: “For extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty while serving with the Fifth Regiment United States Marines.

Under heavy shell fire, on April 23, 1918, he rushed to the assistance of Corporal Thomas Regan, who was seriously wounded, and administered such effective surgical aid while bombardment was still continuing, as to save the life of Corporal Regan.”

It appears that a closer review of the heroic act behind the Silver Star prompted subsequent, enhanced recognition through the Medal of Honor without nullifying or retracting the original Silver Star. There is some evidence that the Navy initially wanted to change the Silver Star to a Navy Cross, but Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, upgraded it to the Medal of Honor instead. For gallantry in the Soisson Sector of France in July of 1918, Dr. Lyle

also received an Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a second Silver Star (Army). Four months later, World War I ended with the Armistice of November 11, 1918.

Over the course of his distinguished career, Dr. Lyle had a variety of duty stations and assignments, including the Naval Training Station, Newport, Rhode Island; USMC, Fifth Regiment, France; Base Hospital Two, Paris; Navy Yard, Boston; New York Navy Yard, Brooklyn; USS Tennessee; USS California (BB-44); USMC, Fourth Regiment, Shanghai, China; USS Houston (CA-30); Army Industrial College, Washington, DC; Naval Dispensary, Washington, DC; Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida; Naval Air Station, Quonset Point, Rhode Island; Inspector of Dental Materials, Medical Supply Depot, Brooklyn; Inspector of Dental Activities for the Navy, Washington, DC; Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery for Dentistry and Chief, Navy Dental Corps; General Inspector (Dental) in the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery; and retirement as Vice Admiral.

In addition to the Medal of Honor and Silver Star Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, Vice Admiral Lyle was also recognized with the Commendation Ribbon, Italian War Cross and Diploma, the Fourragère, Victory Medal, Overseas Clasp, Yangtze Service Medal, American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, and World War II Victory Medal. He also received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the University of Maryland.

Vice Admiral Lyle died on Friday, July 15, 1955, at his home in Portsmouth,

Dr. Lyle, wearing his medal of honor.

Rhode Island, reportedly of a heart attack. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His wife, Ruth, of Newport, Rhode Island, survived him along with a son and daughter. Vice Admiral Lyle richly deserves a special place in our history. His courageous actions and trailblazing leadership were at the highest levels and unquestionably embody the standard of Fellowship.

Foundation History: Where Ethics Meets Action—Remembering Dr. Dows She launched her career at Bellville Foundation Clinic, where she remained for several years. She married Henry Dows in 1952 and shortly after started her general dentistry practice in Short Hills. She retired in 2006.

Dr. Cecelia L. Dows was born in Bayonne, New Jersey, and graduated from Bayonne High School in 1936. She was a member of Fordham University’s first class to include female students, graduating in 1941 with a Bachelor’s of Science in chemistry. As a young chemist, she worked for Standard Oil of New York. Cecelia applied to New York University Dental School in 1943, entering as the only woman in that class. While she never intended to be a pioneer, destiny obviously had different plans for her. She would remark later in life that “it’s probably difficult to believe now, but I was very shy before I entered dental school. Because I had to prove myself over and over as a woman in a nearly solid male fortress, I found my voice, and I have never stopped speaking out about issues that affect the future of the profession that I love.”

During her career, Dr. Dows served as president of the Bayonne Council of Social Agencies, New York/ New Jersey Area Association of Women Dentists, and the Essex County Dental Society. Dr. Dows was a Fellow of the American College of Dentists and past member of the Bayonne Board of Education. Additionally, Dr. Dows was the first female president of the Pierre Fauchard Academy and the first female president of the Essex County Dental Society.

She has also served as president of the New Jersey chapter of the American Association of Women Dentists. In 1980, she was presented the Woman of the Year Award by the New Jersey Association of Women Physicians.

She was an active member of New Jersey Dental Association and American Dental Association and dedicated her life to volunteerism and leadership in her profession.

When establishing the Dr. Cecelia L. Dows Fund in 2006, she stated: “There is no mystery why I want to support the American College of Dentists. The College does good work and is the epitome of human integrity and commitment.”

Dr. Cecelia Dows endowed a scholarship program that was centered on education in ethics.

“There is no mystery why I want to support the American College of Dentists.

The College does good work and is the epitome of human integrity and commitment.”

She believed as legendary activist and reformer Jane Addams believed that “action is the sole medium of ethics.” For more than a decade the Cecelia Dows Fund has generously provided scholarship for advanced training in ethics and our Fellows have gone on to provide training in ethics and professionalism at the local, regional, national, and international level.

Applications for the Cecelia L. Dows Scholarship for Advanced Studies in Ethics are taken each year through March 1 for the subsequent academic year (March 2022 for academic year 2022-2023). This scholarship is available to both Fellows and non-Fellows for either a Master’s or PhD in ethics at any fully accredited university. Recent Dows Scholars have graduated from Harvard and Creighton.

Spotlight on Dows Scholars, in their own words Larry J. Cook, DMD, MS, FACD Dr. Cook was one of the Foundation’s first Dows Scholars, receiving his Master’s in Healthcare Ethics from Creighton University in 2011. His research during his program focused on the ethical implications of rural economic disparity in health care, and he was able to concentrate on his home state of Florida, creating relevance and immediacy for his community.

“I believe the effort to reach our peers with sound ethical dilemma issues has not only

an effect on our peers but, ultimately, can bring sound strong results for the patients they treat daily. The two questions in Dental Ethics: “What should we do?” and “Why should we do it?” truly rings in the hearts and minds of our profession providing reasons for the professional’s behavior. The field of Dental Ethics has provided me with so much opportunity and fulfillment. I highly recommend pursuing graduate training in dental ethics to any of my peers who feel a calling to the field.”

Kristi M. Soileau, DDS, MEd, MSHCE, FACD Dr. Soileau received her Master’s in Healthcare Ethics from Creighton in 2017, focusing her efforts on oral care within the hospice community, which she describes as “a neglected area of preventive and palliativefocused care.” She is affiliated with Nôtre Dame Hospice as its volunteer dentist, and, like Dr. Cook, easily found relevance and need for her graduate training in her practice.

While actively utilizing her training with first- and third-year students, Dr. Soileau reflects that, “While a tough two years, the growth and enlightenment that I was able to experience far exceeded anything I would have imagined.”

Alma Clark, DDS, MSHCE, FACD Dr. Clark is the latest Dows Scholar, receiving her Master of Science in Health Care Ethics from Creighton University in 2020. She has practiced general dentistry in northern California for over 30 years and is active in organized dentistry. Dr. Clark is the chair the Continuing Education Subcommittee for the American Dental Association Council on Ethics Bylaws and Judicial Affairs. In addition, as a member of the California Correctional Health Care Services Headquarters Ethics

Committee, she works to resolve conflicts in healthcare occurring in correctional facilities.

When asked about her experience meeting her expectations, Dr. Clark responded, that, “I anticipated the graduate studies to improve my knowledge of ethics and allow me to continue to motivate, teach, encourage, and inspire fellow members of our profession as emerging risks and technologies arise in dentistry. The study of ethics at Creighton University met my expectations.”

The Foundation, utilizing the Cecelia L. Dows Scholarship Fund, has invested in eight dentists since 2011, providing $80,000 in funding for advanced education in ethics. In return, they have published research on dental ethics and provided essential continuing education in ethics. Several work with SPEA chapters at local dental schools where they also teach ethics and professionalism.

Additionally, the fund has sponsored $25,000 through our partnership with Creighton and their certificate in ethics. For more information about the Cecelia L. Dows Scholarship please contact Suzan Pitman at suzan@acd.org.

Regent’s Reflection Dental Education: A Story of Commitment, Passion, Dedication and Adaptation Cecile A. Feldman, DMD, MBA, FACD Dr. Feldman is an At Large Regent on the ACD Board of Regents, and the Dean of Rutgers School of Dental Medicine

This last year and a half has certainly been like no other.

Our world has dramatically changed, and dental education is no exception. Our nation should be proud of the roles dental schools played throughout the pandemic, which included provision of emergency services when many private practices were closed, participating in vaccination and research efforts, and providing community support services.

And throughout it all, we continued to provide the highest quality education experience possible using new pedagogy and assessment methods.

Our schools have served as examples, demonstrating the values that all graduates (and dentists) should possess. First, was demonstrating our obligations to society. Dental schools responded to a multitude of needs early on, not just by providing urgent care to their patients, but serving as resources for their entire communities.

Keeping patients out of hospitals for emergency oral health needs was a major goal as many hospital emergency rooms were overrun with patients.

Many of us supported the work of frontline hospital caregivers through

volunteer efforts and, in some cases, the uses of our facilities and resources.

We established teledentistry services, demonstrating the benefits and challenges of remote care. For many of us, it became a vital part of our clinical mission during the pandemic, helping us determine which cases required emergency care and recommend treatment options when in person care wasn’t possible.

Despite its obvious limitations, we saw how teledentistry can augment traditional care, especially for those who have limited access to dentists or are anxious about in-person visits. We discovered that it can be conducive to regular visits and preventive care.

In terms of academic instruction, the challenges we have faced during the pandemic are familiar to dental schools nationally and internationally. This past year saw tremendous changes in curricula. Within a record number of weeks, dental school faculty rose to the occasion by moving from in-person to virtual didactic teaching. Simulation enabled schools to enhance student experiences ensuring that our graduates obtained all competencies. We also found new ways of delivering in-person lessons to allow for social distancing.

all know, dental education is extremely demanding and stressful, yet our students thrived, meeting each challenge with their hopes and dreams. Many stepped forward during the height of the COVID-19 crisis, providing leadership and examples of courage and dedication to our fellow health professional students.

Modifications to our clinical facilities informed dental practices of actions to be taken to create safe environments for our patients; and new safety protocols were implemented, enabling care continuation at a time when most were staying home. Like all frontline healthcare workers, dental students and faculty adapted to a spectrum of new PPE and coped with shortages early on.

Until the COVID-19 vaccine became more widely available, we created testing protocols for faculty, staff and students.

Research conducted by dental school faculty helped develop ways of managing the pandemic through methods that could limit transmission and improve diagnostic and treatment efforts, both within our profession and beyond. As providers who work in an environment of aerosolized saliva, we offered invaluable insights and clinical data.

For all of us in dental academia, the COVID-19 pandemic was an ordeal like no other. But it has Dental students in America and abroad helped us all evolve as providers demonstrated incredible resilience, and educators, while transforming assisting each other as they worked in the field in ways that will continue environments that limited their interaction long after the worst has subsided. and normal support structures.

ACD Foundation Welcomes Fourth Summer Intern

Keisy Pineda, a rising senior at University of Maryland Baltimore County, is the 2021 Foundation Summer Intern. This summer’s archive project is to find, organize, and catalog information about the past presidents of the College.

Ultimately, the past presidents, led by Patricia Blanton, and Steve Ralls will publish a book about the history of the College leadership. Keisy has gathered information about the past presidents and developed a robust spreadsheet to manage the information. She has also helped to organize the new library and archive so that it is easier to search.

Keisy, who will be applying to medical school, was open to the challenge the College presented through this opportunity. When asked what she will remember most about this summer, Keisy remarked that she’ll always remember “how happy I am that I learned something new every day.”

Errata

“ I am excited to welcome our fourth summer intern, Keisy Pineda to our ACD family. Keisy has demonstrated interests in history, healthcare equity, and policy.

These interests and her disciplined work ethic are already serving the Foundation’s efforts this summer. We are excited to have her with us.”

– Patricia Blanton ACD Foundation Consultant and Past President of the College Our previous summer interns have included a graduate student in library science, a high school student with a talent for online material asset management, and a dental student with a great appreciation of ethics and dental history. One has gone on to work for the federal government and the other two are future army officers. We look forward to great things to come from Keisy.

The summer internship program was made possible by a generous gift from David W. Chambers, Editor Emeritus. For more information on the ACD archive and library, please contact Theresa Gonzales, Executive Director, at tgonzales@acd.org.
