his fall as Penn Dental Medicine welcomed a new incoming class and the start of a new academic year, we also welcomed a site visit team from the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) as the School’s predoctoral program and four of its postdoctoral programs (endodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, and periodon- T tics/orthodontics) underwent reaccreditation. The official site visit took place September 18 to 20, and I am pleased to report that the site team was genuinely impressed with the quality of the School’s programs, as well as our faculty, staff, and students. The members of the site team went out of their way to compliment our faculty, staff, and students on their support and professionalism during the visit, and were also particularly impressed with the self-study materials that had been prepared for their review. Although a change in CODA procedures prevents a site team from awarding commendations as in the past, the members praised the high quality of the School overall and noted several areas of achievement, including: the fiscal stability of the School, the commitment to faculty mentoring, and the availability of student research opportunities. It was a wonderful report, but of equal importance was the tremendously beneficial self-study process undertaken over the past two years by the entire Penn Dental Medicine community. Through a congratulations critical assessment of our programs and operations and how they are supporting the School’s mission and goals, we have made some important, long-lasting changes within our curriculum and clinics and enhanced ongoing review processes that will continue to strengthen the School as we move forward. As Chair of the Accreditation Steering Committee, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and congratu- lations to all the faculty, staff, students, and alumni who contributed to this successful accreditation. It truly is through your collective commitment to our School that we are able to maintain excellence in education, research, and patient care, and I look forward to continuing to work with you in advancing that mission.

From Cradle to Cutting Edge The Birthplace of Modern Endodontics Maintains Its Leadership Role by juliana delany and beth adams From Cradle to Cutting Edge

Thanks to a renowned, forward thinking faculty, the birthplace of modern endodontics remains at the national and international forefront of clinical training and technology.

His seminal text, Root Canal Therapy (published in pioneering dentists came together to establish a national 1940 and later retitled Endodontic Practice) was the first major organization devoted to the development and advancement of scientific work on endodontics, changing the way root canal the science and clinical practice of endodontics — what became procedures were viewed and performed.

that led to further exploration of how genetic mutations could cause the enlargement of arteries that causes aneurysms, and in turn how the same pathology could lead to cardiovascular problems in non-genetic cases. At Wake Forest, Dr. Segade collaborated with Dr. Donald Bowden, a noted diabetes geneticist, on the characterization of GLUT10, a protein that belongs in the family of glucose transporters, which are located in the cell membrane and allow the transport of glucose, fructose, and other sugars to and from cells. In trying to characterize GLUT10 as a Type II diabetes susceptibility gene, the team’s study concluded that GLUT10 does not transport glucose, as was previously thought. Today, Dr. Segade continues to explore the role of GLUT10, exploring mutations in the gene that give rise to a vascular disease in which major blood vessels become twisted, eventually leading to aneurysm and stroke. Is there a more common cardiovascular disease indicated by the same mechanism? It is this question Dr. Segade will “The students are entertaining approach at Penn Dental Medicine, still working in collabora- and eager, and they seem to truly tion with Dr. Mecham and with an assistant he hopes to hire this fall. “I hope our work will eventually help people in the general appreciate receiving a basic population who suffer from cardiovascular disease,” he says. sciences foundation.”

“Understanding the normal formation of the face depends on knowing the mechanisms that control the interactions of cells in craniofacial deformities,” he explains. Likewise, Dr. Segade is looking forward to teaching histol- ogy to Penn Dental Medicine students this fall, when he will be presenting several lectures on connective tissue, and to the spring term, when he will teach part of the physiology course. “Penn Dental Medicine students sometimes have very different backgrounds than medical students,” he says, “and therefore many of them require more work in the basic sciences. This makes teaching more challenging, but quite interesting. The students are entertaining and eager, and they seem to truly appreciate receiving a basic sciences foundation.” Because the extracellular matrix is an important compo- nent of all tissues, his research experience, like Dr. Krummenacher’s, will be useful to his students in many ways. “Understanding the dialogue between the extracellular matrix “While we benefit from the School and the cell is a focus of many outstanding laboratories all over of Medicine nearby, and the whole the world,” says Dr. Macarak, “and right here at Penn Dental Medicine we have an expert on connective tissue.” For exam- infrastructure of Penn, we are still ple, he says, Dr. Segade’s knowledge will be highly relevant in discussions of the connective tissue found in relation to the able to be independent.” periodontal ligament.

Governor Edward G. Rendell (C’65) 2 signed the first pieces of his Prescription for Pennsylvania health care reform plan into law. One of the bills allows dental hygienists to practice to the full extent of their education and training. “Pennsylvania lags behind many states in fully using all licensed health care providers, and these initia- tives will remove barriers that have kept them from practicing to the greatest extent allowed by their education and training,” the Governor said. According to the Governor’s Office, more than 1.5 million Pennsylvanians live in a federally designated dental health professional shortage area. In states with similar shortages, dental hygienists fill this void by providing routine dental care. Pennsylvania’s licensing statute and regulations limit dental hygienists’ independence and the functions they can perform. The new legislation allows dental hygienists to perform specific Class of 2011 Alumni Legacy Students functions without the direct supervision Penn Dental Medicine legacy students provide a vital link through the genera- of a dentist in order to give them tions of the School’s alumni.
