Dean’s message: Conversations and initiatives

want to begin my 3rst Dean’s Message by paying Itribute to my predecessor and good friend Dean Charles Goodacre. 5is edition of Dentistry includes an article on page 10 describing the many attributes and accomplishments that make up “5e Goodacre Legacy.” Dean Goodacre has served the School of Dentistry for 19 years and amassed a pro3le of accomplishments which for most professionals would represent a successful career. Indeed, his pro3le as dean includes diverse roles including clinician extraordinaire, innovative educator, proli3c researcher and e4ective administrator. 5ank you, Charlie, for your e4ective service and commitment to the the e4ort to see the institution from the perspective of the purposes and programs of the School of Dentistry. faculty, sta4, and students, even as I encourage each of you During the next several months, I am meeting with to collaborate as you consider issues that a4ect the School faculty from nine clinical and basic science departments, at an institutional level. eight programs as well as various clinics in the School of My sincere thanks go to those of you who have Dentistry.

He was a WWII veteran who had recently lost his wife to complications associated with diabetes just shy of their 60th wedding anniversary. His face lit up every time he reminisced and spoke of her, especially how they 3rst met on a blind date at a soda shop when he was in the Navy in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. As he 3nished his last story, he smiled, sighed contentedly, and then said it all: “I have no regrets.” I considered what was embodied in his statement with an almost reverent, envying awe.

Funds submitted in appreciation of Dr. Goodacre provided a personal gift to him: a hand-carved 5omas Moser Pasadena cherry wood rocker, created by a craftsman much admired by the dean, himself a skilled carver; and the Naylor/Goodacre Prosthodontic Scholarship Fund. In what he called “closing remarks,” Dean Goodacre enunciated his con3dence in the three foundational characteristics of the School of Dentistry: clinical excellence, spiritual values, and service to the community. He noted that further strength comes through use of scienti3c evidence in the educational process, involvement in relevant research in the clinic, and incorporation of technology in the classroom and in the operation of the School. Looking ahead, he expressed hope that future generations will be inspired to become “more knowledgeable, more skillful, and more innovative than those who taught them.” Prolonged standing ovations for Dean Goodacre and for his wife Ruthy bracketed the dean’s closing remarks and climaxed the evening for members of the Dean’s Circle. Dean Goodacre and his wife Ruthy bask in the appreciation of colleagues and friends. 10 Loma Linda University Dentistry Summer / Autumn 2013 Volume 24, Number 2

Dr. Kattadiyil provided a brief review of the origins and progress of the Advanced Specialty Education Program in Prosthodontics from its beginnings in 1993 as driven by “the need for specialized support for the restorative phase of implant treatment.” He included the satisfying statistic of the program having “54 graduates with postgraduate certi3cates, and 15 with master’s degrees.” (A succinct overview of the program’s history may be viewed on page 20.) Fifty percent have been faculty at one point or another. Dr. Kattadiyil then segued into remarks of appreciation for the leadership of Dr. Goodacre, both as a director in Advanced Prosthodontics and as dean of the School of Dentistry for 19 years.

Caries in3ltration is intended to convert active lesions to inactive lesions by creating a resinous layer within the lesion body that acts as a di4usion barrier.3 Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is used for etching enamel because it erodes the enamel surface more e6ciently than does phosphoric acid (30 microns compared with 3ve microns for phosphoric acid).4,1,5,6,7 HCL must be used with caution because it is highly caustic and potentially damaging to gingival tissues. To prevent tissue necrosis, retraction of the gingival tissues, and the use of rubber dams, is highly recommended. Results from multiple studies (in vitro, in vivo and in situ), have demonstrated that in3ltrated enamel lesions progress signi3cantly more slowly compared with untreated enamel.3, 1, 8, 9 Figure 1.

Moreover, resin in3ltration is a one-time application (Figure 1) that does not depend on patient A compliance, by contrast with all modalities that are used for remineralization such as topical ;uoride application and casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP). It is also reported that enamel lesions lose their whitish appearance when their microporosities are 3lled with the resin and look similar to sound enamel. Consequently, this treatment may be used not only to arrest enamel lesions but B also to improve the esthetic appearance of buccal white spots.2
