Students, faculty and alumni gather together for a day of barbecue and relaxation. It ' s also the time for fun and games like — volleyball, football and frisbee. Everyone has a blast!!! DEDICATIONS Harold D. Baurmash We have had the privilege to listen to lectures on the fundamentals of oral surgery and to work with Dr. Harold Baurmash in the oral surgery clinic. At the end of our sophomore year, we had our first oral surgery rotation. We were young and inexperi- enced dental students, which Dr. Baurmash changed very quickly. He allayed all our fears and apprehen- sions on the first day. His teaching method is one of hands on experience — you learn by doing. We will fondly remember Dr. Baurmash instruct- ing us in his strong and resounding voice — Numb ' em up! , Luxate, luxate! , MORE buccal! , Take a fist full of tush and stab! , and especially for the remark Of course it ' s going to hurt! We completed our oral surgery rotations greatly enriched from our clinical experience with Dr. Baurmash. During our junior year, Dr. Baurmash was very ill and had to undergo a serious operation. We prayed that he would return to good health and he has. He has bounced back and has resumed his place in the oral surgery clinic — yelling at the students, yelling at the patients, yelling, yelling, yelling and loving every minute of it. Thank you for your devotion to Columbia Dental School and its students and for being an inspiring teacher and a caring friend! Stanislaw H. Brzustowicz As sophomore students, the number of courses th at we take is incredible. Amidst it all, there is a bright and shin- ing star among us - Dr. Stan Brzustowicz. He always has a warm smile and an encouraging word for his students. As director of the pre-clinical operative course, he has the responsibility of teaching us all the basic operative tech- niques that we need to know as practitioners. We also learn hand-eye coordination and proper use and care of our den- tal instruments and equipment. In addition, he demands that all of his students act and dress like professionals, and they do. He asks no more of his students than he does of himself. After pre-clinical operative, Dr. Brzustowicz does not lose touch with his students. As juniors and seniors, we see him on the clinic floor collecting our infamous operative work cards or helping one of us. Dr. Brzustowicz has made our four years at Columbia less stressful and more enjoyable. We truly appreciate all the years he has devoted to teaching dentistry and his dedication to the Columbia School of Dental and Oral Surgery.

With all our sincerest best wishes, The Faculty and Staff of Operative Dentistry 19 Earlier it was accepted that most patients above a certain age had to lose their teeth. However, advancements in dentistry have made it possible to save more teeth and endodontics has played an important role in this process. So, in spite of age today ' s more sophisticated patients want to save their teeth. This is a challenge that will demand more and more from today ' s and tomorrow ' s dentists. The endodontic treat- ments will also become more difficult and challenging because of advanced dental restorations and the anatomic limitations in the older population. This will certainly increase the demand for specialists. Arising from a tradition dating from 200-300 years B.C., endodontics continues to be innovative, biologically oriented and dedicated to the dental needs of a changing population.

I ' ll Be Reaming You to the tune Every Breath You Take ' by the Police OPERATIVE DENTISTRY One of the main reasons for the pres- tige of American Restorative Dentistry in the middle decades of the twentieth century was its pursuit of excellence us- ing long lasting and proven materials such as amalgam and gold in the restora- tion of teeth. Operative Dentistry was taught with enthusiasm, conviction and an aim toward perfection. The principles and values of G. V. Black were held in high esteem and resulted in restorative dentistry that has come close to lasting a patient ' s lifetime. What is happening to the image of restorative dentistry in the eighties is largely due to economic pressures and a public awareness that our standards are falling, and consequently the public ' s confidence in dentistry has been shaken. To correct this image, we will have to deliver high quality, long lasting restora- tive dentistry at fair fees. This is a great challenge for you since a great deal of poor dentistry today is being done in the name of cosmetics, and many teeth are being sacrificed at its al- ter. Endodontists have never been busier as wreckless turbines reduce enamel and dentin in seconds as if they were subject- ed to a pencil sharpener. Laboratories have a bonanza in the metal ceramic res- toration to the detriment of the more conservative gold inlay and gold crown which demand more skill, patience, and self-discipline on the part of the opera- tor. Enamel is still our finest restorative material, and who has preserved it more than the Operative Dentist through con- servative micropreparation of teeth us- ing magnification and rubber dam. Your challenge will be to earn the con- fidence and respect of patients, to render restorative dentistry services that will last a long time, and to serve our profes- sion with dignity and high ethical stan- dards. All the teachers of Operative Dentistry welcome you to our great profession, and wish you success and happiness in den- tistry. Edward A. Cain, Jr., D.D.5. Dr. Edward A. Cain, Jr. 22 Dr. Steven S.

' Cohesive gold, cohesive gold, Your tale has many times been told; We know by heart your history Bright shining star of dentistry. (Refrain) At Columbia, we sing your praises, And though enamel slightly crazes; It ' s you we ever shall defend And fend off any passing trend. Those who speak of acid etching, Future days will find them wretching; Coughing and spitting from their lips Stained and broken acrylic chips. The legacy of their failed fillings, Pockets emptied by dentists ' billings; And refusals of the only truth Of the true marriage of gold and tooth. Cohesive gold shall always reign, From G. V. Black to Eddie Cain; From Egypt ' s Valley of the Kings The praise of good gold foil rings. At Columbia of white and blue, To cohesive gold we ' ll e ' er be true; And Columbia ' s halls will always hold The virtues of cohesive gold. D. A. Liebers 25 Don ' t worry Nick, I won ' t change a thing! 26 PROSTHODONTICS The Class of 1987 faces the future with hope and some apprehension but also with gratification. It has lived through four years of intensive study, from the first encounter with a cadaver to per- forming complete oral reconstruction for a dental cripple . It has taken each step in stride and, as a class, has emerged prepared for the new challenges that awaits them upon graduation. The class is to be congratulated for a job well done. Those of you who choose to enter into general practice will find that restorative dentistry will probably still occupy the greatest percentage of your time. This will be true for many years to come even with all the advances in preventive den- tistry. A broad biologic background coupled with training in various digital skills and techniques, not unlike those needed by the surgeon in medicine, is a necessity for performing this highly de- manding service. Here at Columbia you have been trained to meet a majority of the challenges you will be encountering in restorative dentistry. As evidenced by many of our graduates who have related to us (after residency training and or private practice), your dental education and clinical training are unsurpassed. Teeth, which not too long ago would have been condemned to extraction, with advances in materials, techniques and knowledge, are being retained for many years of useful service. Fewer and fewer patients are being forced to the com- pletely edentulous state. The demand is greater for fixed and removable partial denture service, and the newer osseointe- grated implants. Perhaps in time, with further advances in techniques and pre- ventive measures, there will be no need for anyone to ever reach the edentulous state. It is within the grasp of the gradu- ates of 1987 to achieve such a goal in their lifetime. It is our hope that the 1987 graduates of Columbia play a significant role in bringing this about. Remember the fact is, nothing comes; - at least nothing good. All has to be fetched. The Faculty of the Division of Prosth- odontics would like to congratulate you and extend its sincerest best wishes to you in your chosen profession. John J.

The Division of Stomatology encompasses several vital components of dentistry, namely, oral pathology, oral medicine and treatment planning. Ample lectures are provided by the division to all DOS students to enrich their knowledge of oral disease and of systemic disease as it relates to the oral cavity. The oral diagnosis clinic provides di- rect student-patient contact enriching the student ' s knowledge of disease with live visual experiences. In addition, the Stomatology Division provides an im- portant service to the students by exam- ining all adult patients registering at our clinics. The seasoned and experienced staff members of Stomatology review medical histories, examine radiographs, perform soft tissue evaluations and chart and treatment plan each newly arrived patient.

Zegarelli 35 PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY The focus of Pediatric Dentistry is changing; prevention of caries in the late primary and early mixed dentition is succeeding. The new emphasis for Pedi- atric Dentistry is the very young child, the child with serious medical or phys- ically handicapping conditions, and the adolescent. Recent research has demon- strated that the adolescent is at increased risk for developing the caries that pre- viously occurred in children. Applied Behavioral Science creates a positive experience for the child in the dental setting, and motivates the child and family toward adequate self care. Through the application of current knowledge of dental trauma care, behav- ioral and pharmacologic approaches to the management of the child, and con- temporary dental materials, Pediatric Dentistry improves the quality of life for all children. The specialty of Pediatric Dentistry expands the horizons of tech- nical innovation and disease prevention for the children of today and tomorrow. Martin J. Davis, D.D.S. Dr. Martin J.

You Dr. Margot H. Jaffe Dr. Daniel L. Zedeker ORTHODONTICS — A successful dental practice requires the ability of the dentist to recognize ab- normalities of occlusion, to determine how and when to intervene, and when to refer to an orthodontist. The general or family dentist is expected to counsel his or her patients regarding any aspect of dental care proposed or being deliv- ered by a dental specialist. From minor tooth movement to the correction of dentofacial abnormalities, orthodontics is an exciting aspect of den- tistry which may bring the practitioner great rewards from patient satisfaction. Again, we must emphasize that recogni- tion and differential diagnosis of the malocclusion is the responsibility of ev- ery dentist. These are the principles which guided the Division in the presen- tation of the core predoctoral program in orthodontics. The faculty joins me in urging you to fulfill these obligations to your patients and wishes you success in your careers! Nicholas A. DiSalvo, DDS, Ph.D. Dr. Nicholas A.

Clinically, the student participates in history taking and diagnosis, patient management for both elective and emer- gency problems and basic techniques of exodontia. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery re- quires at least four years of training after graduation from dental school. Many prefer to take a general practice resi- dency prior to entering oral and maxillo- facial surgery training. The faculty therefore feel the goals of the undergrad- uate program should be introduction to and understanding of the scope of the speciality and familiarity with some of the basic exodontia techniques. It is also our hope that we will instill in the future general practitioner the knowl- edge of when to treat and when to refer to a specialist. If we achieve these things along with some fond memories of oral surgery, the efforts of this department will have been gratified. Harold D. Baurmash, D.D.S. Steven M. Roser, D.M.D., M.D. Dr. S.

Rogow PERIODONTICS The changes in dentistry and dental education have been momentous in the last quarter century. Periodontics has been a central focus of this revolution. Supported by the dramatic reduction in dental caries and the increase in human longevity, the goal of a lifetime natural dentition has propelled periodontics to the forefront of dental science. The central philosophy of the Divi- sion of Periodontics is the ability and willingness to interpret and respond to the research findings in basic science and clinical periodontology. The key to successfully imparting this philosophy is a unique faculty blend of researchers and clinicians. The contributions of the Columbia faculty are notable, and Co- lumbia graduates include several dental school deans and the authors of a num- ber of textbooks. This eclectic blend of faculty offers the Columbia student a broad range of approaches to clinical problems. The graduate is well prepared to deal with the immediate needs of his or her patients and more importantly, is ready to continue to study and under- stand the changes in periodontics in practices that will enter the twenty-first century.

( I ► i k, Dr. Iona Sabev-Nikow PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY The Division of Preventive Dentistry has major educational and research re- sponsibilities in the area of cariology. The Division ' s educational curriculum instructs students in the area of dental caries etiology and prevention. Every at- tempt is made to sensitize students to their ethical and clinical responsibilities regarding the fact that dental caries is largely a preventable infectious disease. Robert Berkowitz, D.D.S. Dr. D. Abelson I Sherry Gateman, RDH Dr. Camille DiPaolo DENTAL AUXILIARY UTILIZATION AND DAU PM traditionally focuses on famil- iarizing students with the techniques of seated dental operations, coordination of dentist and dental assistant ' s efforts in the patterns of four-handed dentistry, and those aspects of practice management es- sential to initiating and maintaining a modern dental practice. The course inte- grates the clinical skills with their applica- tion in the practical delivery of dental care. This discipline has always been of critical importance in efficient dental care delivery and will assume an increasingly greater role in the foreseeable future. In national surveys, most graduates with two to five years experience continue to express the need for more information and skills train- ing in this area. Our current effort is in creating a self-paced, automated practice management teaching system to meet this need. David Kaplan, D.D.S. PRACTICE MANAGEMENT Dr. David Kaplan Debbie, Nina and Saundra Olga A. C. Ibsen, RDH Hope Holbeck, RDH. RADIOLOGY The Faculty and Staff of the Dental Radiology Clinic wish the Class of 1987 the best of luck and success! We hope that you learned the value of quality radiographs, and the role that they will play in treatment planning and diagnosis. Patients will always be con- cerned about exposure to radiation. It is your professional responsibility to keep up-to-date and knowledgeable about all phases of radiation protection and safe- ty. Our philosophy is to always treat your patients the way that you would like to be treated. On a personal note, I was often on your case regarding attendance and re- quirements because I wanted you to be the best! Columbia has a reputation of high professional standards, and I want- ed them to become a part of you. I hope that you will always remember to see all of the third molar on the radiograph be- fore you extract the tooth! If we can ever be of help in the future, feel free to come back and call upon us. Olga A. C. Ibsen, RDH, MS Mildred Jenkins, Jose Padillo 49 SPECIAL DENTAL SERVICES The patient population is changing rapidly. The philosophy of our clinical rotation is to introduce students to a population of patients whose needs are dictated not only by their oral disease, but also by their medical needs. As we look to the future, this patient population will grow. This increase is due in part to medical advances and an increasing age of the at risk population. This field will play a considerable role in the future of dentistry. It is important to understand the ne- cessity of evaluating the entire patient in formulating a treatment plan. We wish the Class of 1987 success in the future. Ronnie Myers, D.D.S. Dr. Ronnie Myers, Director COMMUNITY HEALTH The Division of Community Health is concerned with teaching current and his- toric issues in dental public health — concepts and methodologies which fos- ter the promotion of dental health and the prevention and control of disease in the community. Dental Public Health, one of the eight specialties of the dental profession, has been responsible for many of the inno- vations which have so broadly and pro- foundly affected society and dentistry. Among the most well-known contribu- tions is the documentation of the bene- fits of water fluoridation. Other innova- tions include the following: dental pre- payment plans, the development of oral health programs for special populations, promotion of dental sealants, the devel- opment of quality assurance protocols and epidemilogic studies to monitor dis- ease trends. Community health issues important to dentistry and society (i.e., manpower planning, access to care, utili- zation of services) will continue to be examined in the future. The graduate should remember that she or he is an integral part of dentistry and the decisions that are made in indi- vidual practices regarding individual pa- tients are representative of the dental profession and its affect on the commu- nity. Dr. Ardell Wilson Dr. Ardell Wilson Dr. Shane GERIATRIC DENTISTR Y Susan Gellin Dr. Lynn The number of Americans over the age of 65 years old is increasing at a rapid rate. This statistic mandates that we train future dentists to be knowledgeable about and sensitive to the needs of the older patient. In order for a dentist to provide good treatment to a geriatric pa- tient, he or she must have a knowledge of the physiology of aging as well as an understanding of the psychological and psychosocial issues commonly faced by this age group. The Geriatric Dentistry Program at Columbia Dental School addresses this Tepper Linda Plancey, R.D.H. goal on two fronts: academic courses on the psychology and the physiology of aging and the resultant dental implica- tions and direct clinical practice. Students should emerge from this pro- gram with an awareness that older pa- tients are not to be treated any different- ly from other patients. All populations have special needs. Students should be familiar with the specific concerns of the geriatric population and should under- stand how these issues may interact with the patient ' s dental care.

The Center will pro- vide — state of the art equipment needed by researchers, an independent facility in which research patients will be stud- ied by investigative teams, a trained clinical and statistical support staff, and a locus for training opportunities for un- dergraduate and graduate students, hy- gienists and faculty interested in clinical research. The establishment of a Center For Clinical Research In Dentistry at Colum- bia University at this time is a response to major changes that have been taking place — in the patterns of dental disease and the nature of dental care, in the growing interest of the public in preven- tion of disease and maintenance of health, and to the opportunities these changes provide for contributing to the future of dentistry. Although a relatively small number of students seek a research career, all stu- dents should be familiar with the re- search process and should develop a critical sense and an ability to evaluate the supporting data for new materials and techniques. The Clinical Research Center should help provide the appropri- ate attitude and skills. Av Irwin D. Mandel, D.D.S. Dr Syngcuk K im Dr. Daniel H. Fine Dr. Solon A.
