What Will Your Legacy Be? “My family grew up with dentistry, loved dentistry, and was involved with dentistry. I am happy to be able to support the institution that provided me with an outstanding education.” — Bill Black (D.D.S., 1956)

W Nancy and Bill

oody Hayes’ immortal call to “pay forward”has long rung true for Nancy and Dr. Bill Black (D.D.S., 1956), who volunteer with The Ohio State University, The American Cancer Society, and activities in the Zanesville area.

Black, who are retired following his successful dental career in private practice.

Dr. Black and his wife have set up a Charitable Remainder Trust and made a gift of the building that had housed his private dental practice for 40 years. They named the College of Dentistry the beneficiary and explained to family members about their financial plans and goals. “This was a viable option for someone in retirement, like me, who had appreciated property,” explained Dr. Black. “Ohio State really helped us out and made it easy to do.” Dentistry is a multi-generational profession for the Black family. Besides Dr. Black, his grandfather, father, and uncle were dentists and his daughter is a dental hygienist. Ohio State’s Office of Planned Giving offers many gift options to benefit you and the College of Dentistry. For more information, call (614) 292-2183 or (800) 327-7907 or email to plangive@osu.edu.

Dear Friends,

Greetings to you all. Today, you find a new name and face at the top of this column; but, as you well know, our College of Dentistry commitment to teaching, research, patient care, and community outreach goes unchanged.

a new dean. From my experience as vice provost for academic policy and faculty resources, I can assure you that the university leadership is highly committed to supporting this college’s national leadership role in the field of dentistry.

Many of you already know that I began serving as interim dean beginning July 1, when Dr. Jan Kronmiller completed his five-year term. Under his leadership, the college has moved the bar in terms of research dollars, quality of admitted students, donor support, commitment to diversity, and expanded outreach to the underserved. I’d like to thank Jan for his leadership and service, and I look forward to continued work with him as he resumes a faculty role.

Evidence of that leadership is highlighted in the pages of the Quarterly. This issue, we look at the accomplishments of another graduating class of talented young people with the completion of the academic year. We spotlight the addition of a new research group, whose nine members bring with them extensive grant funding. We take you behind the scenes in the Ohio State Athletic Department, where our dental team fabricates custom mouthguards to protect the teeth of up to 2,000 college athletes per year. And we bring you a full wrap-up of Post College Assembly and a look at other alumni celebrations past and future.

I also look forward to working with our college alumni, who I’ve already learned are highly engaged and a real strength of the college. I’ve had the opportunity to meet with some of you and share ideas, and I want to get to know many more in the coming months. Your input will be valuable as the college enters a new era. I’m committed to putting in place both the infrastructure and the leadership that will keep it successfully moving forward and will keep you informed as we move through the search process for

Enjoy this issue of the Quarterly. We’ll stay in touch through this magazine and in other ways as we take the next steps toward new leadership for the college.

Best Regards, Carole Anderson, Ph.D. Interim Dean

DDS IDOL 2006 Excitement was in the air as hundreds waited in anticipation for DDS Idol 2006, the College of Dentistry’s own version of the popular television show American Idol. As the doors opened Friday evening at Post College Assembly, alumni and students quickly filled the brightly decorated ballrooms of the Midwest Hotel and Conference Center in Columbus. The DDS Idol singing competition was started a year ago, as a collaboration between Admissions, External Affairs, and the Sterilization Monitoring Service. The goal was to increase the student attendance at Post College Assembly and it is so popular that even a preliminary competition is held at Postle Hall. 10

Up for grabs in the final challenge was the title of DDS Idol 2006 and a grand prize of $1,000; and second- and third-place prize money of $500 and $250, respectively. The event expenses and prize money were donated by Crest and Practice Impact. Keeping with the theme of American Idol, celebrity judges were a major part of the show. Playing the role of Ryan Seacrest was comedy genius, Dr. David Padgett, associate professor of oral biology. Heading up the Dogg Pound, in the role of Randy Jackson, was Dr. Henry Fischbach, associate professor of clinical dentistry. The always loveable fan favorite, Paula Abdul, was played by Connie Kuntupis, associate professor of clinical dentistry. Filling in for an ailing Dr. Simon Prior, Cory Siefker, SMS lab technician, played the role of the scoundrel Simon Cowell. Narrowed from a field of 12 contestants, seven performers competed in this year’s final round.

N E W S

STUDENTS STAR IN DDS IDOL Performers included: Electa Lee - “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor. (As a staff member, Lee, periodontic clinic supervisor, was a non-competing performer.) Audrey Torma - “Vivo Per Lei” by Andrea Bocelli. Torma (Dental Class of 2008) played a keyboard piano to accompany the piece. Katie Snider - “You Can’t Have Both a Guy & Be in Hygiene” by Katie Snider. Snider (Dental Hygiene Class of 2006) wrote both the song and the music for her performance. Beth Malys - “Seghi Take the Drill” by Beth Malys (Dental Class of 2007). Malys’ song, a parody about working with Dr. Robert Seghi in the clinic, was sung to the tune of the Carrie Underwood hit “Jesus Take the Wheel.” Austin Rehl - “Another One Bites the Cusp” by Austin Rehl (Dental Class of 2008). Rehl’s song was a parody of the popular Queen song “Another One Bites the Dust.” Kate Varley - “I Fall to Pieces” by Patsy Cline. Varley (Dental Class of 2008) played guitar to accompany the piece. Annie Welch - “There You’ll Be” by Faith Hill. Welch is in the Dental Hygiene Class of 2008. Rick Sprang - “My One” by Rick Sprang. Sprang (Dental Class of 2006) wrote the song lyrics and music and played guitar in this original number.


After each performance, contestants received some goodhumored remarks from Ryan Seacrest before getting critiqued by the judges. Randy Jackson’s Dogg Pound was in the house throughout much of the night. He gave insightful comments on many of the performances and often commented on the number of albums he had produced. Abdul fawned over each contestant and proved to be a fan of each performance. She even went as far as commenting to Beth Malys on how much she enjoyed her “voice, outfit, and legs.” In typical American Idol fashion, Simon Cowell’s comments leaned toward the sour side. At one point Cowell was quoted as saying “your performance was like a confused jogger, not sure where you’re starting, don’t know where you’re going, and a little nervous the whole time.” After all the performances, the audience voted to decide a winner. The audience was treated to the bluegrass banjo talents of Dr. Paul Brown while the ballots were counted. In a close vote, the audience chose singer/songwriter Rick Sprang (top right) as the winner of DDS Idol 2006. “He got the crowd clapping along and gave such an engaging performance!” exclaimed dental hygiene student Kelly King. Second place went to Austin Rehl (center right) with his parody “Another One Bites the Cusp.” Decked out in all white with a black pompadour wig, Rehl had the audience in stitches throughout his entire performance. His outfit was the cherry on top. In third place was Beth Malys (below) with another parody, “Seghi take the Drill.” Much like Rehl’s performance, her parody generated smiles among the many dentists in the crowd. Through DDS Idol 2006, students’ “star” qualities shone through – as they shared their creative talents for true entertainment.

Outreach and Engagement Grants Awarded Three College of Dentistry proposals were among 20 projects from 14 colleges and four regional campuses to receive Outreach and Engagement grants from the university. Outreach and Engagement Seed Grants went to a program that will promote oral health literacy throughout different cultures, led by Drs. Homa Amini and Paul Casamassimo; and a program which supports “Give Kids A Smile! Day” efforts to perform dental screenings for all children enrolled in the Head Start program, led by Dr. Hilary Soller, Dr. Canise Bean, and Jessie Tudor. Dr. Abdel Rahim Mohammad received an Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Program Grant entitled “Ohio State Reaches Out for Better Health: Development of a Pilot Tobacco Cessation Program in Appalachia.” This grant was funded through the College of Medicine.

Dr. Bill Baldwin Receives Fellowship Dr. Bill Baldwin, D.D.S. ’99 and clinical assistance professor, GPR, became a Fellow of the American Association of Hospital Dentists (FAAHD). This is the final step to Board Eligibility for the American Board of Special Care Dentistry, which enables him to now pursue board certification.

Dr. Nusstein Receives National Award Dr. John Nusstein, assistant professor of endodontics, (center) was awarded the Edward M. Osetek Educator Award at the American Association of Endodontists Annual Session in Honolulu, Hawaii, in March. The award is given to those who have been teaching for less than six years, but have earned their colleagues’ and students’ esteem, have received invitations to present endodontic lectures, and have had a significant impact on former students. Dr. Ming-Sheh “Percy” Chen, a professor at the College of Dentistry, Taipei Medical University, who received his master of science degree at Ohio State in 1978, was a speaker at the 2006 Carl O. Boucher Prosthodontic Conference. Dr. Chen was amazed at the response to classified ads he placed in local and state dental newsletters requesting that dentists send him “any and all aluminum impression trays,” for use in teaching the Boucher compound impression technique. Nearly 500 trays poured in from all over Ohio, enough for Dr. Chen to keep teaching the Boucher impression technique for many years to come. Dr. Chen is director of the Academy of Advanced Prosthodontics in Taiwan.

Ohio State. Athletes Make a Good Impression! By Jaron Terry, APR It is not uncommon for Ohio State athletes to make a big impression on people. In the case of Deborah Mendel, D.D.S. ’87, associate professor of clinical dentistry, however, the tables are turned. In reality, she makes an impression “of” the athletes, rather than “on” them – she has been the team dentist for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team since 2000. Dr. Mendel and her associates take impressions of the athletes’ teeth as part of the process of fabricating custom mouthguards – as many as 2,000 per year– for Ohio State athletes. “Mouthguards have evolved a great deal over the years, but the primary purpose of athletic mouthguards is still to protect the athletes’ teeth from accidental damage,” Dr. Mendel says.

16

“Athletes’ compliance to wear a mouthguard has always been an issue in sports,” she adds. “Today’s mouthguards, however, can be personalized, and this helps the compliance issue.”

A Colorful Proposition Dr. Mendel explains that, because new materials and methodologies have become available, mouthguards have changed since the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) first mandated them in 1973. Today, they are mandatory equipment for football, wrestling, lacrosse, ice hockey, and women’s field hockey. Dr. Mendel and her team make them for athletes who play these sports, as well as any other Ohio State athlete who requests one.

(Top) Ann Penturf, D.D.S. ’06 fits an Ohio State athlete for a mouthguard. (Center below) Mouthguards, personalized with athletes’ initials and the team logo, are ready for use. the ohio state university college of dentistry


“There are three ways to make custom mouthguards today. There is a vacuum form method, a pressure laminated method, or a combination of the two, which is what we use here at Ohio State,” Dr. Mendel says. “All begin with an impression of the athlete’s teeth to create a model that allows us to make several guards for each athlete, as needed.” Members of the Ohio State football team, for example, each have as many as seven or eight, as individuals’ mouthguards are kept in multiple locations for practice, etc. Also, they become worn during use and sometimes are misplaced. “The great thing about our method is that we can use a vacuum form process and personalize them with the athlete’s name along the side and the team logo in front. The NCAA mandates (since 1990) that the guards are in color, so that officials can readily determine if a player is wearing one. We’re just lucky at Ohio State that we get to have scarlet as a color choice,” she asserts.

Buckeye center Nick Mangold plays defense against mouth injuries with a mouthguard crafted by Deborah Mendel, D.D.S. ’87, associate professor of clinical dentistry.

“Athletes’ compliance to wear a F a cu l ty n e w s mouthguard has always been an issue in sports . . . Today’s mouthguards, however, can be personalized and this helps the compliance issue.”

“Historically, the College of Dentistry has played a major role in the development and use of mouthguards,” says Deborah Mendel, D.D.S. ’87, team dentist for Ohio State Department of Athletics. The late Al Hall, D.D.S. ’55, who was assistant dean for academic affairs and served as the first team dentist in 1968, was an early advocate of mouthguards, which he maintained were responsible for a reduction in the number of sport-related dental injuries. He was succeeded by Bill Wallace, D.D.S. ’56, who served as team dentist until the late Dr. Larry Peterson took his place.

Mouthguards (above) are mandatory for a variety of NCAA sports; and making them is a skill honed by dental students such as Jeff Kirian, ’06 (below).

Yet another Ohio State dental alumnus, the late Bill Heintz, D.D.S. ’32, played a pivotal role in mouthguard safety. “Dr. Heintz is the person who deserves a great deal of the credit for bringing dental protection to the level it is today – on both a national and Ohio State basis – as he had initiated formal research into the subject as early as the 1960s,” says Dr. Mendel. In 1958 – the same year that Woody Hayes was one of the first coaches in the country to order his team to wear mouthguards – Dr. Heintz was appointed mouthguard consultant to the American Dental Association.

Research: Move It or Lose It! By Jaron Terry, APR

“We all know someone who complains of stiff joints in the morning, but is moving easily by 10 a.m.,” says Sudha Agarwal, professor of Oral Biology in the College of Dentistry. “There’s a medical reason for that – in fact, medicine has long known that movement of joints and muscles is important in preventing atrophy,” she adds. Dr. Agarwal, who also is a member of the research team at the Ohio State Dorothy M. Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute, and in the Department of Orthopaedics, explains that, over the last 50 years, numerous research studies have proven that regular exercise is helpful to arthritis patients, as well as those with other conditions, such as muscular dystrophy, fibromyalgia, cancer, or wasting diseases. “Exercise itself is a proven therapy; however, what has not been known is how this therapy works at the cellular level. We are one of the first to show that exercise curbs inflammation and that by inhibiting inflammation, it allows the repair process to begin. What I wanted to discover now is how biomechanical forces – at the molecular level – exert an effect on the human system – specifically in the musculo-skeletal system and how they prevent atrophy,” she adds. By understanding how these biomechanical signals (chemical firings released by physical exercise of the muscle) work in cartilage and the musculo-skeletal system, Dr. Agarwal and her colleagues sought to show how they can be used to improve health and help patients. Through in vitro studies (of isolated cells) and in vivo studies (using rabbits riding miniature, specially built bicycles), Dr. Agarwal and her team have shown

Sudha Agarwal, Ph.D.

that several key intracellular pathways exist that are regulated by biomechanical signals. “These findings are quite profound, as they hold promise for our far-reaching goal of finding a way for individuals to gain the anti-inflammatory, muscle- or joint-saving benefits of the biomechanical activity without actually having to exercise,” Dr. Agarwal says. “This could prove to be very useful for debilitated patients who are unable to exercise, but who would benefit most from it.” “Such a development would be directly applicable to dentistry,” she says. “For patients who suffer from TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint) disorders, for example, surgery is an option, but is not always possible or – because it is invasive – may be undesirable from the patient’s point of view. Moving the joint helps; but that is not always possible. If we can turn on the biomechanical signal in another way, this would be extremely therapeutic.” Dr. Agarwal says that another possible application for her findings is in tissue engineering. She notes that rejection of tissue-engineered grafts is a considerable concern, as two problems can develop: first, inflammation causes rejection of the graft; and second, cartilage often does not regenerate and join well with the patient’s cartilage. “Because our studies have shown that biomechanical signals reduce inflammation and induce regeneration, we are hopeful that breakthroughs will lead to applications in this arena, as well. We have a really dynamic group of students and postdoctoral fellows who are just as excited about facing these challenges as they are in creating benefits for patients,” she adds.

SNAPSHOTS OF TEACHING . IN A LONDON DENTAL SCHOOL By John Reuter, D.D.S. ’66

Teaching in a London dental school sheds a unique perspective on the dental profession internationally and how dental schools differ markedly in today’s world. Dr. Reuter plans to provide occasional vignettes about his British dental experiences.

20

The mesmerizing view over London’s skyline from the 26th floor of Guys dental school eases frustration when both of my students’ air-water syringes fail. When equipment does function, what have I discovered about British dental education? Since the 1960s I have not been in an Ohio State clinic, so comparisons are difficult. I practiced full-time in central London as a prosthodontist until 2003. Since then, I have been teaching fourth-year students. For 12 students a day, I supply clinical supervision and much of their teaching in restorative dentistry. In 1966, Ohio State dentistry was a different world: all men, all American. About three-quarters of my London students are female. Three-quarters have immigrant parents. Their parents come predominantly from Iran, India, and China. Although a bit younger than Ohio State students of my day, they seem more mature than we were, and certainly warmer and more socially gracious, perhaps reflecting my immaturity in 1966, as much as their social skills.

Teaching begins at 8:45 a.m. with a tutorial session. Guys gave me a list of about 20 one-sentence topics, which I was expected to cover during the year. No other guidance was given. I add additional topics and cover them by a mixture of discussion groups, questions and answers, printed guidesheets, visual aids, and essays of three to four printed pages every three weeks. All tests are set by other staff, in halfhour and 10-minute essay form. The tutorial discussion is often good, but less so during Ramadan, when half the students fast between dawn and dusk, getting up well before dawn to eat breakfast. Following our tutorial session, the students practice clinical dentistry for two three-hour sessions. I am not in a position to compare Guys’ clinical accomplishment level with current Ohio State students, but Guys’ weakest area is probably that of prosthodontic laboratory knowledge. A recent European directive specified that only registered laboratory technicians were allowed to make devices to be placed in patients’ mouths. In an amazingly perverse interpretation, many schools decided that students could not be allowed to undertake lab work for their patients. Accordingly, my students are wretchedly prepared to interact with laboratories after leaving dental school. Strangely, this regulation has never been applied by practicing dentists! Here, I’ve enjoyed remarkable experiences in dental education, often contrasting greatly with my starting point at Ohio State.

From a clinic on the 26th floor of Guys dental school, Dr. John Reuter, D.D.S. ’66, enjoys a bird’s-eye view of the city of London, with a view of St. Paul’s Cathedral. After a tutorial session, the students practice clinical dentistry for two three-hour sessions daily. Three students from Dr. Reuter’s multinational and predominantly female class share a few moments before class.

“My Gameday at Ohio State” Contest Winner By Robert Stevenson, D.D.S. ’75, M.S. ’80 Article reprinted with permission from The Lantern, January 25, 2006

22

Thirteen seniors played football on the 113th Ohio State squad, undefeated entering the 13th game of 2002. Wary of a M*chigan upset, I dressed all in black except for running shoes and white sweatsocks. I shaved; not knowing it was for the last time.

Emergency technicians wrapped an Ace bandage around it and called for backup. Stretcher bearers whisked me “Across the Field” to the 20, the 10, the five, end zone, then past the flagpole to the narrow band ramp.

The morning proceeded on the wrong foot when the nearest parking spot was on Kinnear Road, far from Ohio Stadium. The first big break came in the second quarter, when M*chigan linebacker Carl Diggs broke his left ankle - surely a good omen.

“Make a hole,” yelled the EMTs repeatedly at the hordes of maniacs now descending the ramp. Newspaper accounts said three fans broke ankles celebrating. Missing the post-game “Carmen Ohio” hurt most of all.

Along with son Rob in section 17A, everyone stood to watch. Late in the game we moved down to 19AA. When the last play ended in glorious victory, fans all around us began jumping the fence onto the field, despite the convenient stairs that were only 10 yards away from us.

After a leisurely ambulance ride to the Ohio State University Hospital, I spent the weekend lounging around in bed, sporting 13 brand-new, shiny stainless steel screws in my ankle, and growing a victory beard.

Unaware of those stairs, I too hopped over the guardrail, carefully cradling four gameday programs in one arm. After landing, my left ankle seemed a bit unsteady, and my white sock turned red.

Were the 13 screws a lucky omen? The Buckeyes next beat Miami to win the National Championship, and in June my kids both graduated from Ohio State … on Friday the 13th.

Reunion Fund-raising Effort The Class Giving Program was introduced in 2005 in order to increase the amount of support from our alumni and maximize the Leadership Fund’s potential. This program strengthens communication between classmates, which will foster a spirit of community and help to build support for the College of Dentistry. We hope to encourage a higher rate of participation from all College of Dentistry alumni so that we can continue to move the college forward. 60th Reunion - Class of 1946 The class of 1946 had a wonderful time at their 60th reunion when they gathered for a dessert reception in May in conjunction with Post College Assembly. Dr. Ben Williams coordinated this lovely evening. Although the group was small, they had a lot of fun catching up, looking at class photos, and remembering their time in dental school.

24

All 2006 reunion classes are involved in the Class Giving Program, and we are working toward raising funds for the College of Dentistry Leadership Fund as well as the Pre-Clinic Lab Fund. The Leadership Fund was created to provide the dean with unrestricted resources to make strategic investments in the college. The Pre-Clinic Campaign was established to provide resources necessary to renovate our pre-clinical facilities. We currently have $2 million in gifts and pledges toward this campaign.

30th Reunion - Class of 1976

The class of 1956 will be gathering twice during this year. The class (lower left) had a wonderful turnout for their 50th reunion in May. Thirty-two members of the class joined forces to celebrate at a dinner during Post College Assembly. Dr. Bill Black headed up this effort with the help of many of his classmates. Drs. Richard Schmuck, William Wallace, Ben Codispoti, Sam Gruner, Ramon Holmes, George Slaman, and Elgene Mainous spent time contacting classmates about the reunion and their class gift. The class was able to raise over $25,000 for the Class of 1956 Legacy Fund, which supports the Leadership Fund. This is the most a 50th reunion class has ever raised in their reunion year.

Drs. Jim Zimmerman and Dick Cronley are the tag team in charge of this year’s 30th class reunion for the 76’ers. Dr. Cronley and his subcommittee will be in contact with classmates with last names beginning with the front half of the alphabet, and Dr. Zimmerman and company will be contacting the rest.

A second informal gathering will take place for the class of 1956 on September 1 and 2 with the other reunion classes that will be on campus. A reception room and dinner space has been set aside for you if you would like to return to Columbus again this fall.

45th Reunion - Class of 1961 Dr. Jim Felix is heading up the reunion for the class of 1961’s 45th reunion Labor Day Weekend. Be sure to look for information about this great event in the mail!

How much of the total correction is skeletal vs. dental, and how much occurs in the maxilla vs. the mandible? Is facemask therapy effective at only certain ages, and what happens following the cessation of protraction force? Even though facemask therapy is highly successful, phase 2 therapy may be difficult due to other aspects of the malocclusion such as congenitally missing teeth, crowding, mandibular asymmetry, or open bite.

The Ohio State University College of Dentistry held its convocation ceremonies at Mershon Auditorium on Sunday, June 4.

At convocation ceremonies for The Ohio State University College of Dentistry on June 4, two high achievers stood out from the crowd, attaining a historic “first” for their college. Michael Horan and Raymond Tseng, both exceptional students who received numerous honors throughout their training, received not one – but two – degrees each, earning both their D.D.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Their graduation marked the completion of a rigorous seven-year journey that included both dental and graduate research training as part of a dualdegree program. The Ohio State University College of Dentistry leads the pack in enrollment figures for this type of program across the country, due to its Comprehensive Training in Oral and Craniofacial Sciences (CTOC) program. This program is funded by a T32 training grant through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), and additional support has come from the College of Dentistry. The CTOC program is directed by Dr. John Sheridan, associate dean for research for the College of Dentistry with the support of Drs. John Walters and David Padgett. Trainees enrolled in the CTOC program receive not only a highly integrated educational experience, but

also full tuition and fees for the duration of their schooling as well as monies for educational/lab supplies, a travel experience each year, and a modest stipend. Over the past five years The Ohio State University has received over $5 million from NIDCR to support the students in this integrative training program. The program supports three categories of trainees, and the amount of support varies with the type of advanced training that each student is seeking: predoctoral students seeking their Ph.D (five years), dual degree students seeking their D.D.S./Ph.D. (five years), and postdoctoral candidates seeking a funded research experience (three years). Both Horan and Tseng have been involved in the CTOC training program since its inception and have benefited since its initial round of funding. Looking forward, both Horan and Tseng will soon be advancing to their first-choice residency programs. Horan will be heading to Case Western Reserve University, where he will begin an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program; Tseng will be heading to the University of North Carolina to pursue a residency program in pediatric dentistry.
