ANNOUNCING OUR FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN PAGE 3

From the Dean Dear Colleagues: We have started the new academic year with a flurry of activity and a host of newsworthy items that fill this issue of the Dental Journal. Leading the way is our announcement that the college recently completed its new five-year strategic plan. More than a year in the making, it represents the hard work of hundreds of students, staff, and faculty members who helped formulate the ways we will move forward in creating our new future. In keeping with the attention we have given to our new building project, we are highlighting two graduates from Dean Wendell Postle’s era. These alums decided this was a good time to express their gratitude for the many benefits their dental education has given them and their families. For a contemporary perspective on the impact our new building will have on today’s students, we share the views of a senior dental student who sees how the new facility will enhance our efforts to recruit and educate the next generation of oral health care practitioners. We also showcase our new classes of dental and dental hygiene students as they participated in the White Coat Ceremony. How impressive and important this event has become as it welcomes our freshman students to the next phase of their development as dental professionals. Of additional significance are the nearly 50 interns, residents, and graduate students who joined our college community this autumn. Coming from institutions far and wide, they add depth and breadth to each division in our college. You will also see updates on our college’s contributions to the advancement of our profession. We have highlighted the significant presence of our students and faculty at this year’s international dental research meeting, along with the posters presented, papers delivered, offices held, and awards received. Following this is a discipline-by-discipline listing of scholarly publications written by our faculty on an array of subjects this past year. It is no exaggeration to say that our college is influencing the direction our profession is taking! Throughout your reading of this journal, you will see the many and substantive ways our college is working to support our communities, both public and professional. These activities allow us to use our resources for the benefit of many, and they demonstrate how our students can make similar contributions in the areas where they settle after graduation. Closing this issue of our journal are some thoughts from Harold Paz, MS, MD, who is Ohio State’s first-ever Executive Vice President and Chancellor for Health Affairs and CEO of the Wexner Medical Center. He comments on the changing models of academic health care centers nationwide, and the ways his new leadership position will present opportunities for all the health science colleges to have a greater level of involvement and influence in the Health Science District. How pleased we are to share with you the many and exciting programs and projects our college is engaged in as we move into another rewarding and prosperous academic year. Go Bucks!

OF DENTI E G

OF DENT I GE

Although it has been decades since Robert Wright, ’55 DDS, and James (Jim) Lange, ’63 DDS, graduated from the College of Dentistry, they have vivid recollections of their time as dental students. And after full and rewarding careers, each chose to honor the good life the dentistry profession provided them by making donations to the Building on Strong Foundations campaign. Both sent their donations to the college via U.S. mail.

Moved by their gestures, Dean Patrick Lloyd visited each alum—Dr. Wright in southeastern Ohio and Dr. Lange in the northwestern part of the state, and then invited them to campus for an up-close look at the construction site. Dr. Wright was delighted. A retired general dentist, he decided to pursue a career in dentistry after learning about the profession from a cousin who was a dentist. He studied pre-dental science as an undergraduate before becoming a student at the College of Dentistry. His tuition was $300 per quarter, which would seem like a dream to a college student today. In the 1950’s, though, the cost meant he had to work part-time washing dishes to complete his studies. He met his late wife, Nancy, when a classmate introduced the couple. Another classmate served as his best man. And still other College of Dentistry alumni helped him grow his practice by referring patients to him early in his career. It was these connections to the college that moved Dr. Wright to give. “I felt an obligation to pay back because otherwise I wouldn’t have the life I had. I really loved my career and I made so many good friends,” he said. Dr. Wright stays connected to the college by reading the Dental Journal. He learned about the building project from the magazine. Excited by the project, he wrote a check and dropped it in the mail. “I’d been thinking about giving to the college and I thought I’d better get started,” said Dr. Wright, who is 90.

Although he graduated eight years after Dr. Wright, Dr. Lange’s career path was very similar. He was also introduced to the profession by a family member—his father, Henry F. Lange, ’32 DDS. Like Dr. Wright, he was a member of Psi Omega dental fraternity, served in the military after college, and returned to his hometown—in this case Toledo—to practice general dentistry. And, like Dr. Wright, he made life-long friends and memories at the College of Dentistry. “I have some friends and classmates who have passed away. I thought I should give right now, so I did,” Dr. Lange said. He had been reading about the college’s need for updated facilities through the Dental Journal. When he was invited to a campaign event by a former classmate, he asked his friend to send him information about the building project since he was unable to attend. “The idea is to attract good students and faculty and if you can show them updated facilities, that’s half the battle,” he said. Excited by the opportunities a new, state-of-theart structure would bring, Dr. Lange wrote his check keeping future students in mind. And then he sent it via U.S. mail. ■

James Lange, ’63 DDS (center) and his wife, Donna, received an overview of the Postle Hall construction project from Dean Patrick Lloyd in July.

Jennifer Soltesz, ’82 BSDH, and her father, Robert Wright, ’55 DDS, toured Postle Hall--including the new Student Commons--with Dean Lloyd in June.

“Topping off” Marks Construction Milestone Alumni from around the country “tuned in” to the college’s construction camera on August 22 to watch another milestone in the Postle Hall expansion project: the “Topping Off” of the structural framework. Painted white to distinguish it from all the other beams in the framework, the topping-off beam included the signatures of 455 students, staff, and faculty who will now be a part of the history of the building. A small pine tree, which is a construction tradition that symbolizes good luck and the end of the structural phase of the project, adorned the beam as it was hoisted into the air and firmly placed in its home near the south elevator bank of the new building. ■

A STUDENT’S STORY Student Leader Jake Falter ’20 (DDS) Shares His Thoughts on an Expanded Postle Hall Among the many who have shared their stories of the impact and importance of the Building on Strong Foundations campaign are the important voices of our students. Fourth-year dental student Jake Falter, the current Student Government Association president, adds his voice and shares why an expanded Postle Hall is important to our students. I decided to attend The Ohio State University College of Dentistry because of its supportive culture and reputation as one of the best dental schools in the country. I was inspired to become a dentist by my grandfather, Gary Igleburger, ’64 DDS, ’70 MS, who is an orthodontist and College of Dentistry alumnus. What I love about dentistry is the relationship we form with our patients and the impact we can have on our community as health care providers. The supportive culture of the college and emphasis on evidencebased dentistry are what I like most about the college. The Ohio State University College of Dentistry is producing and teaching the newest research and techniques, which makes it a great place to receive a dental education. The expansion of Postle Hall will provide so many opportunities for new and current dental students. I am most excited about the new dental student clinics and common spaces. It will be great for dental students to be able to hone their clinical skills in a new clinic specifically designed to enhance all aspects of their experience. I am also looking forward to having the courtyard restored so there is an outside space for us to relax together between classes and clinic. In addition, the new student commons will also provide an atmosphere conducive to collaboration that was not possible in the previous spaces. I believe the expanded building will greatly influence potential dental students who are making decisions about which dental schools they want to attend. The quality of the facilities and technology was one of the top factors for myself and many of my classmates when applying to dental schools. When you combine all of the features of the new building and the extremely high quality of education that you receive here, I believe The Ohio State University College of Dentistry will be a very attractive option for future dental students around the country. ■

“I believe that the new student clinics will allow us to utilize new technology and connect with faculty like never before.” - Jake Falter ’20 (DDS) student news

IN THE NEWS

Faculty “Hit the Road” with University Tour In June, two College of Dentistry faculty, Anita Gohel, DDS, PhD, professor-clinical, Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and Radiology, and Pamella Shaw, DMD, MPH, assistant dean for admissions, hit the road with other Ohio State faculty, staff, and students as a part of the university’s Roads Scholars Tour. The annual two-day bus tour makes stops at businesses and nonprofit organizations in communities across Ohio to showcase the university’s partnerships. Each year, Dean Patrick Lloyd recommends two newer faculty members to participate in the tour so they can learn more about the university and the state. This year’s tour visited sites as diverse as the Ariel Corporation, which manufactures reciprocating gas compressors, to the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, which obtains and distributes food to more than 650 pantries and other sites across central and eastern Ohio.

“The Roads Scholars tour made me proud to be a part of Buckeye Nation,” Dr. Gohel said. “I learned about the ice core research to combat climate change at the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center and the no-till farming at Dave Brandt Farms to improve soil nutrients and reduce the use of fertilizers and herbicides by using cover crops.” Dr. Shaw was equally enlightened. “The Roads Scholars Tour was a wonderful experience. I met great people and learned more about how The Ohio State University is woven into the lives of many across the state.”

College of Dentistry Provides “Special Smiles” Twenty College of Dentistry students, residents, and faculty shared their time and expertise at the Special Olympics’ Special Smiles® program on Saturday, June 29. In so doing, the providers joined Special Olympics’ worldwide effort to ensure that people with intellectual disabilities have access to high-quality health care. James Cottle, ’81 DDS, Interim Co-Director of the college’s General Practice Residency (GPR) Program, attended the event and supervised a team of dental students and GPR residents who provided screenings to more than 100 participating athletes. “Our students and residents look forward to participating in this important event each year,” said Dr. Cottle. “Contributing to healthy smiles through the Special Smiles® program has many rewards, including helping students understand the positive impact they can have on the lives of underserved patients.”

Student and Faculty Researchers Participate in

International Dental Research Conference In June, College of Dentistry student and faculty researchers headed to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for the 2019 International Association of Dental Research (IADR)/American Association of Dental Research (AADR)/ Canadian Association for Dental Research (CADR) General Session. The college’s researchers took a leading role during the event by serving in officer and committee positions, giving presentations, and winning awards.

“The IADR/AADR/CADR General session is the largest forum where faculty and students can highlight their research to the dental community,” said John Bartlett, PhD, associate dean for research. Dr. Bartlett represents Columbus on the AADR Council that evaluates any proposed changes made to board policies. He also serves on the Annual Session Committee, which helps determine the content of the conference each year. “As in past years, Ohio State had a large contingent of researchers at the event with more than 40 faculty and students participating,” Dr. Bartlett said. Ohio State students were well represented at the conference, which was gratifying to Scott Schricker, PhD, associate professor in the Division of Restorative and Prosthetic Dentistry and director of Student Research. “This conference provides opportunities for our students to meet leaders in the dental field and learn more about research. They can also meet with students who are doing similar work, find collaborators, and learn about the specialties offered at other schools. It’s an invaluable learning opportunity.”

college news

Dear Dental Alumni, What a fun year it has been serving as your President of the Dental Alumni Society! We have been busy and worked hard. We have hosted three alumni receptions at the ODA, ADA and ODHA, held four alumni events including the zoo, hockey night, Buckeyes in the Kitchen and a CE/game watch, as well as more than six annual student events. In addition, we have made inward and outward changes honing the Society into the best version of ourselves to more readily fulfill our mission of supporting alumni as well as students, faculty and staff of the college. Highlighted below are some of these changes:

D E N TA L ALUMNI SOCIETY President’s Letter

Processes. We have better defined roles and responsibilities of our executive board and committee chairs to increase productivity. For example, the role of the Treasurer for the Dental Alumni Society has been graciously fulfilled by hard-working and committed individuals for many years. It is a robust task for a volunteer position with significant numbers of transactions, tracking, and reporting. We streamlined responsibilities through cross-training, incorporating more technology, creating reporting templates, and utilizing our Society’s accounting team. Completing day-today operations is much more transparent and easy for all!

Membership. Although we’ve had online membership renewal for a few years, we’ve automated annual membership renewal ($25), maintained the traditional Lifetime membership ($400), and added a Gradual Lifetime membership option. (This option is $125 – invoiced annually for four years, providing annual membership for four years and then transitioning to a lifetime member at the end of the fourth year). Explore these membership options at http://www.osudas.com/

Branding. We’ve had two successful online pop-up shops where 100+ alumni purchased more than 200 apparel items to show their Dental Alumni Society pride. We’ve said THANK YOU to over 2,000 Lifetime members by providing them a membership certificate to display in their home or office.

Accolades. We’ve chosen recipients for two Dental Alumni Society student scholarships in addition to the 100+ annual scholarships generously funded by alumni donors. For the second year, we’ve identified three alumni for our Distinguished, Young and Dental Hygiene alumni awards -- given at our annual Alumni Awards Ceremony which kicked off Homecoming Weekend. And, as a Society we achieved scarlet-level Outstanding Alumni Society recognition from OSUAA for the sixth year in a row. We should feel especially proud for our alumni and society contributions to support our students and to recognize the outstanding professional efforts of our own.

I have enjoyed leading the Dental Alumni Society over the past year and am confident in the future of our Society. As a faculty member, I can assure you the dental profession is in good hands and we will continue to fuel our alumni base year after year. I look forward to seeing you at future alumni events and hope that, in some way, I have inspired you to join or renew membership in the Society to assist in fulfilling our obligation of supporting students, faculty and staff of the college. All my best & Go Bucks,

Introducing Executive Vice President and Chancellor for Health Affairs, Harold L. Paz, MD, MS

In July, Ohio State welcomed Dr. Harold L. Paz as the university’s first-ever executive vice president and chancellor for health affairs. Formerly the executive vice president and chief medical officer at Aetna, as well as the former leader of Penn State University’s health care enterprise, he is poised to take health sciences at Ohio State to the next level of impact. Dr. Paz shared his insights on Ohio State, the changing model for academic health, and his new home—Columbus. Why Ohio State is the place to lead the way We have a unique opportunity at Ohio State to bring together the largest array of colleges of health sciences in the nation along with this extraordinary academic health center, the Wexner Medical Center. Together, we can identify opportunities to train the next generation of clinicians, to do cutting-edge, innovative research, to find treatments and cures for illnesses that have devastated individuals and their families—while at the same time, understanding that health and

well-being are determined not just by health care, but also by issues in the home and the local community. There are few other places that have so much critical mass in terms of health and health care, and where we can work collaboratively across disciplines.

It’s time for a new model for academic health

On interprofessional education—and why he’d like to see more of it I think we have enormous opportunities here at Ohio State for more interprofessional education, beginning well before graduation. When these doctors, dentists, nurses, optometrists, pharmacists, veterinarians, and other health care practitioners and public health professionals

This is an extraordinarily vibrant community—one

I think the day of a single school being home for all this work, or thinking about care delivery in a hospital setting per se, has long passed. Given all the changes that have occurred in every other sector of society and the economy—if you look at everything from banking to retail, to how we as individuals live our lives expecting personalization and a digital environment—I think health and health care are ripe for enormous change as well.

It’s about “doing everything humanly possible” to keep people out of the hospital The new model is one that pulses together medicine,

very focused on growth and innovation. A number of towns that were settled before the Revolutionary War are very proud they have long, well-celebrated histories. What makes Columbus unique is that I don’t hear a lot about the history as much as I do about the future. This is a city that’s very forward looking and obsessed over the future—how to be cutting edge, to leverage technology and innovation to be a future city. There’s collaboration among business leaders, the university community, and organizations like the Columbus Partnership, that together have a forward-looking view of how the city can grow. ■

nursing, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, public health, veterinary medicine and the allied health professions, and brings them together around interdisciplinary education and research and discovery, which creates innovation and translation. It’s about making sure people who live here have access to care, and the best care starts in the home with prevention, treating chronic illness and disease, and doing everything humanly possible to make sure they don’t have to come to the hospital unless absolutely necessary. It’s working collaboratively with individuals before they become patients to allow them to achieve their aspirations for health and well-being. It’s really important that our students and trainees are exposed to these new ways of delivering extraordinary care. We’re giving them diplomas that will last 30 to 40 years, so we want to train them on models of the future and not on how care has been delivered in the past.
