The False Teeth Workshop

The False Teeth Workshop, c.1880 (oil on canvas) by C. Durif-Bedel (fl.c.1880) ©Musee Dentaire, Lyon, France / Archives Charmet / Bridgeman Art Library. Nationality / copyright status: French / out of copyright

This wonderful portrayal of an early twentieth century dental laboratory was done in oil by Mme. C. Durif-Bedel who was born in 1880. What is striking is with how much of the painting one feels familiar: the plaster models on the shelf at the window; the various dental pliers hung in a line at the end of the table; the single hinge articulator; and the various polishing wheels and dentures laying about the table. It is more the furnishings and formal dress of the lab technicians that tell us this scene is from another era. Notice also the use of day light and how it emphasizes the lab table and the other technician.

The False Teeth Workshop reminds us that the dental profession is indebted not only to dental technicians but to the many other auxiliaries whose talent, artistry and hard work have long been an integral part of patient care.

The original of this painting is in the Dental Museum at the dental school of the University Claude Bernard in Lyons, France. The museum was started in 1979 by three dental faculty members of the school, Drs. Francois Brunner, Francois Devars and Francois Emptoz. With the support of the profession, the faculty and the University, the Musee Dentaire of Lyons has become world renown. A cyberspace visit to many of the museum illustrations can be taken at http://www.bium.univ-paris5.fr/aspad/expo13.htm. The dental school itself was founded in 1899 by Dr. Gaspard Guillot. There were nine students in the first graduating class. Contents

Past President's Message

was a busy and exciting year as we made needed changes in how we gov- ern ourselves, the Leadership Initiative moved to the district and state levels, our monthly KeyMail messages became a reality and the groundwork began for a much needed Strategic Planning Session. During my visitations, the pride in ICD Fellowship was evident and this pride was even more obvious as I draped the College Key around the necks of those who were inducted in Las Vegas. This leads me to an integral part of our objectives and mission.

“Recognizing Service and the Opportunity to Serve”

Are we doing our best in RECOGNIZING SERVICE by those who are worthy of Fellowship but are being overlooked? It seems that there is much variation in the number of Fellows inducted from the various districts each year. Are we being too restrictive or just not taking the time to target and sponsor worthy candidates? While we have an adequate number of new candidates at this time, as more Fellows take Life or Retired status, this will become a problem and will also have financial implications. Are we being too restrictive in allowing those being honored to let others know of the high honor they have received? Hopefully, the Strategic Planning Session will address these and other areas of concern. The OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE requires that we provide the needed avenues for this opportunity. Too often a Fellow will ask, “What can I do?” or “Give me a job.” Our many projects at the national and state levels help but more must be added each year. The Leadership Initiative, with its many areas for participation will help but only if we reach out and invite more Fellows to be a part of this Initiative. Assisting the Peace Corps is another exciting prospect and will allow for more participation. Let’s make the list of projects that were shown in last year’s KEY grow and continue to publicize them in future editions. This will go a long way in helping Fellows better appreciate their Fellowship and realize that they are a part of a generous and giving organization. This generosity is further evidenced by the success of the Humanitarian Outreach Program, the many grants made by our Foundation and the generous gifts that both the Section and the Foundation made to the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The success we enjoy is a direct result of the outstanding work of our Executive Committee, Board of Regents, Committee Chairpersons and Committee members and without the assistance from Registrar Bob Brady and the Central Office staff, none of these accomplishments would be possible. I thank all of you for what you did during my year as President and what you will continue to do for the ICD. I again want to say what an honor it was for me to serve as the 2006 President of the USA Section 200of the International College6 of Dentists and thank you for the opportunity I was given. I also thank you for the honor to serve on our College Council and I look forward to this new area of ICD involvement.

as i see it

he year 2006 started out at a fast pace. The Executive Committee met on the second weekend of January when President Aronson laid out his plan for where he saw the USA Section going that year. Immediately we began sending a Key-mail out each month to every Fellow whose e-mail address we had in our database. This was well accepted and we have sent one at around the 15th of each month. We will continue to do this as long as we have information to provide to you. Our Humanitarian Outreach Project in Laos and Cambodia was again authorized by the Board of Regents. You responded once more with great generosity and over $20,000 was collected, sent to our Foundation, and periodically a check was written to the ADA for the project. The ADA oversees the project so there are no overhead costs for the money donated. Related to the Humanitarian Outreach Project is our coordination with the ADA and the Colgate-Palmolive Company in a project in Tanzania which will provide limited oral health needs at the Refugee Camps. We are in the early phases of this program but you will hear more about it in 2007. Through the inspiration of our Regent from District 1, J. Steven Tonelli, and the commitment of President Leon Aronson we embarked on an initiative with the Peace Corps. A letter was sent to all active Fellows in the Section asking if they would be willing to participate by doing a dental exam and providing x-rays to an Thapplicant fore the Peace Corps at no cost to the applicant. Your response was overwhelming and more than 700 of you have said, “Yes, I am willing to do that.” Shortly, all that information will be provided to the Peace Corps in a manner that suits their needs. Jennifer Greenville has joined us in the office and has made our lives easier. She brings skills we need and has an engaging personality which brightens our day. Monica has graduated College, left us and moved to New York where she now works. Our website continues to grow and changes are made to our database as more information is captured. The KeyNotes has been revised and is now in color, produced in our office by Kathleen, who has the skills to do it. The Board of Regents decided at our last meeting that the officers and regents would begin their tenure of office at one minute after midnight on the day after the annual convocation and dinner dance; therefore, the tenure of the current officers and regents began on 17 October 2006. President Jim Felix began with an Executive Committee meeting that morning and hasn’t stopped since. Mary Jo continues to make sure our deadlines are met, everything is correctly done and we would be lost without her. Mary Jo, Kathleen, Jennifer and I hope 2007 will be a great year for you. We thank you for all you do for the ICD.

Coolidge Award for leadership and exemplary dedication to dentistry and endodontics. Dr. Hovland has just completed his term as President of the American Dental Education Association.

He presently serves on the Louisiana Academy of General Dentistry Board of Directors. Dr. Hovland’s largest leadership challenge was a couple of years ago while in the middle of his term as President of the American Dental Education Association. Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and severely damaged the LSU School of Dentistry and displaced hundreds of staff, faculty and students. Together, with his leadership team and faculty, the dental school resumed classes 80 miles from New Orleans, in Baton Rouge, five weeks after the storm. Senior dental students were placed in private practice mentoring settings and community clinics throughout the state. Within 3½ months, a large student clinic was developed and operating in Baton Rouge through donations of dental industry, dental practitioners and organized dentistry. In May of 2006, all the students graduated and advanced to the next year on time and a new freshman class was selected. The dental school will remain temporarily in Baton Rouge until the summer of 2007 when the school in New Orleans is scheduled to be ready for return.

one of the primitive tribes (102 males and 11 females) in the Philippines, and compared the incidence of dental caries of these children with American and Philippine children. He found, on oral examination only, that the children of this tribe (Igorot) had a very low incidence of dental caries; 77 children had none and 31 had only one or two occlusal caries. He noticed a few patients with talon teeth, but he did not discuss shovel-shaped teeth in these children. He was highly impressed with the low incidence of decay and tried to find out why. He tried to study the life style of the tribe and described the cleanliness of the food but did not connect the food eaten to the low caries incidence. He described the diet of rice, sweet potatoes and vegetables with little meat and noticed that the children had the habit of chewing uncooked rice as chewing gum. He concluded that a diet rich in vegetables and poor in meat is sufficient to produce strong, sturdy people with good teeth and suggested to the American people the diet “poor in saccharin”. Ottofy wrote several papers on the progress of the profession and the need for further post graduate education. He also discussed the need for adequate higher education as a requirement for entrance into dental school.8 He advocated attendance at lectures, Figure 2 and clinical instruction, and published his opinions of the importance of higher standards in the dental lit- and perfect work of this kind ever produced.” 6 These erature.

different countries using their lists of these professionals. Ottofy stated the aim of the society was: “Securing a list of dentists in all parts of the world who are honest and competent to whom any Fellow may safely trust the care of any of his patients while they are abroad”. In 1931 Ottofy became the Registrar of the ICD. He developed a long list of areas in the world where he felt that at least one dentist should be listed and could be indicated for “those who needed care while traveling”. The list was extensive but he admitted it was not complete, because in some areas no dentist was sufficiently qualified and “who could not conform to the high ideals of the College, and some areas which did not have dentists.” He expected that the list would be modified over the year.24 He was active in clinical dentistry for over 45 years and only gave up clinical work around 1930 6, when he retired and moved to Oakland, CA with his wife in May 1928. Ottofy died at his home in Oakland on July 20, 1939 after a six month illness. Dr. Louis Ottofy belongs to the list of great dentists with dynamic energy who served the profession for more than 50 years as a practitioner, teacher, author, translator in several languages, lecturer and editor who had a profound influence on dental development in many parts of the world. He inspired many people to Figure 3 work in the dental profession and was of the opinion 8. Ottofy, L. - Dental Education.

Just like a coach, your players must know that they can look to you for help at any time. It is very important for your volunteer to know that 1) you are very much interested in his or her success and 2) that you will back him or her up if there are difficulties.

The ICD to Meet in San Francisco

ere are some of the reasons you don’t want to miss this year’s ICD meeting in San Francisco: Cable cars on Nob Hill; eating pot stickers and much more in Chinatown or dim sum on Sunday morning at the Hang Ah Tea Room; stroll around North Beach and shop for ceramics at Biordi, art at Vesuvio, coppa, mozzarella, marinated red peppers and salami at Molinari’s deli, and then ask for forgiveness Looking north, from San Francisco to Marin County.

the leadership initiative

he work of the Leadership Initiative continues to move forward under the direction of the Section Leadership Committee which is working on a number of projects geared toward the nurturing of leadership skills in our membership. Some of these endeavors are established Tones, and some are fresh. The Leadership Committee has recently begun studying the feasibility of an ICD Leadership Institute. A subcommittee will be appointed to address a leadership institute and submit a report to the Leadership Committee. The committee expects a proposal to be presented to the Board of Regents at the July meeting in Atlanta. There are many questions to be answered before an ICD Leadership Institute becomes a reality; however, the Leadership Committee believes the potential exists for a leadership institute to become a defining brand of ICD leadership. The committee is also investigating a means for State Leadership Coordinators to interact. Last year’s survey of State LCs revealed a number of fantastic leadership projects at the state level. The committee wants to create a mechanism for the sharing of ideas amongst the State LCs. If one of our states has a successful leadership project, wouldn’t it be great to share that idea with the other states? Wouldn’t it be beneficial to spark a state’s enthusiasm for leadership issues by providing a project that could do just that? The creation of a Leadership Project Coordinator has been proposed for the purpose of directing the interaction of ideas between our State Leadership Coordinators. The Project Coordinator would be responsible for identifying outstanding projects and disseminating them to every State LC. This would provide our LCs with invaluable support for carrying out their responsibilities. We continue to work for the expansion of White Coat ceremonies in our nation’s dental schools. The Leadership Committee is seeking to establish White Coat ceremonies in dental schools that do not presently have them, as well as seeking ICD involvement and recognition in existing ceremonies. The Leadership Committee addresses a wide array of issues. We continue to shepherd a number of additional projects: refining the Leadership reading list, mentoring, leadership awards, district newsletters, leadership communications with dental students, and others. Leadership has many faces and many facets. Fostering leadership requires pursuing numerous avenues and the enthusiastic, dedicated efforts of many individuals. Promotion of leadership traits is not always clearly defined, nor is it easily achieved. The ICD/USA Leadership Committee continues to work toward the establishment of leadership as a cornerstone of the ICD.
