v y N jJA ' :■ mill DENTAL COLUMBIAN elaktu-eiakt DEDICATIONS DR. STANLEY R. SADLES We will always remember Dr. Stanley Sadies who, with a willing hand and a smile made our time in the clinic floor enjoyable as well as informative. As much as a part of our morning routine as a cup of coffee was his cheerful morning greeting: What are you doing today? . And of course, no cavity prep was complete without the infamous get your largest spoon excavator and deeper! you ' re still in enamel . And if inlay rock and roll had got you down, he ' d help seat that sucker in two seconds! . But more than any remembered phrase, we leave Columbia feeling grateful to have had someone as caring and dedicated to teaching high standards as Dr. Sadies. We are thankful to have been instructed by this interested and talented professional. It is to the loss of future classes that Dr. Sadies plans to retire this summer. Or as he humorously refers to it, his Graduation to Arizona; but we are honored to have experienced his warmth and concern. Thank you Dr. Sadies. DR. LOUIS MANDEL With a loud C ' mon and do it already!!! Dr. Louis Mandel kicked us into the field of oral surgery and the real world of dentistry which we entered for six weeks during our senior year armed with knowl- edge of mucoceles, pocket biopsies, and mushrooms. Dr. Mandel the founder of the Salivary Gland Clinic at Columbia SDOS taught us common sense and practicality concerning not only surgical skills, but business skills as well, liberally sprinkled with dry wit. His true concern for the welfare of the students has made him an obvious choice for this dedication. So what ' s the bottom line? Thank you Dr. Mandel for being just the way you are! DR. ROBERT GOTTSEGEH Dr. Robert Gottsegen and Columbia Periodontics are synonymous. Anyone who completed postdoctoral periodontics or undergraduate dental school must have been influenced by him. As Director of the Division of Periodontics from 1969 to 1988, Dr. Gottsegen has proven to be a versatile administrator. He runs a taut ship, bringing together an outstanding faculty and students of international repute. He continues the Columbia tradition of preeminence in periodontics through research. As a teacher, he stimulates the best in his students through intellectual challenge. More importantly, as a dentist he exemplifies what is best in the profession through his integrity, intellectual grit, and dedication to the field. Those of us who came to Columbia because of Robert Gottsegen hope that he will continue his affiliation with the school and give future students the opportunity to experience all that he has to offer. The flame that Dr. Robert Gottsegen was handed in 1969 has become a torch that cannot be extin- guished. Columbia University m the City of New York i New York, N.Y. 10032 SCHOOL OP DENTAL. AMD ORAL. SuPIGEPiV 0 ico of tt-io Dean 630 West i68tn Streot February 8, 1988 Dear Class of 1988: Yearbooks become a means for classes of students to mark their passage through an educational process. The books receive immediate attention and, then, usually are nut aside for rainy days years later. What then will come to your memory about the years spent at Columbia University, School of Dental and Oral Surgery? Will the difficult times of struggles to complete formal coursework and to comply with what you most likely considered bureaucratic rules and regulations prevail in your thoughts? Or, will the informa] contacts with faculty, staff and classmates predominate in your thoughts as you browse through these pages in years hence? For most of you, we hope it will be the latter recollec- tions which will become important to you in the future. Columbia has provided you with a solid education in dentistry. In our opinion, and in the opinion of others, you have received one of the most thorough preparations for dentistry that is obtainable. But, we know that to use that education in a health care setting for the betterment of mankind and for your own personal satisfaction takes more than facts . It takes a caring attitude about people. While there is formal coursework in the curriculum on the behavioral sciences, most of us learn how to care about others through our interaction with each other on a one-to-one basis. It ' s the time a busy person devotes to your personal problem, the chance conversation, the kind effort of another person which you will remember best as encouraging vou to move forward. Pass on those positive interactions in your dealings with your patients and colleagues and you will find that each day becomes one which will bring you personal and professional satisfaction. Please know that our goal was to help you reach the first step in your career in dentistry. Continue to look to us for the advice and encouragement that you will need as you move forward in your professional life. As alumni you remain part of the school . Best wishes in your future endeavors. Sincerely yours, Allan J. Formicola, D.D.S Dean ADMINISTRATION Thomas J. Cangialosi, D.D.S. Associate Dean for Students Postdoctoral Education.

OPERATIVE DENTISTRY One of the main reasons for the prestige of American Restorative Dentistry in the middle decades of the twentieth century was its pursuit of excellence using long lasting and proven ma- terials such as amalgam and gold in the restora- tion of teeth. Operative Dentistry was taught with enthusiasm, conviction and an aim toward per- fection. The principles and values of Q.V. Black were held in high esteem and resulted in resto- rative 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 eco- nomic pressures and a public awareness that our standards are falling, and consequently the public ' s confidence in dentistry has been shak- en. To correct this image, we will have to deliver high quality, long lasting restorative 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 alter. Endodontists have never been busier as wreckless turbines reduce enam- el and dentin in seconds as if they were subject- ed to a pencil sharpener. Laboratories have a bonanza in the metal ceramic restoration to the detriment of the more conservative gold inlay and gold crown which demand more skill, pa- tience, and self-discipline on the part of the oper- ator. Enamel is still our finest restorative material, and who has preserved it more than the Opera- tive Dentist through conservative microprepara- tion of teeth using magnification and rubber dam. Your challenge will be to earn the confidence and respect of patients, to render restorative dentistry services that will last a long time, and to serve our profession with dignity and high ethical standards. All the teachers of Operative Dentistry wel- come you to our great profession, and wish you success and happiness in dentistry. Edward A. Cain, Jr., D.D.S. Dr. Edward A. Cain, Jr. Dr. Steven S.

The Faculty and Staff of Operative Dentistry 12 PROS THODONTICS The role of the Class of 1988 for the next decade will be much more significant than the classes in the past. The Class of ' 88 will be facing a society that is more concerned and knowl- edgeable about health care in general, and what the expectations of the health care providers should be doing for them. Your class will be confronted with clients ask- ing for a second opinion. Dentistry is no longer a stepchild to medicine, it is an intricate part of it. Your class will be treating people who are living longer. From the very inception, the heart of the practicing dental profession has been restora- tive treatment. The advancements in prosthetic principles, concepts and practices as first de- scribed by Pierre Fauchard in the 18th Century were the beginning of modern dental prosthet- ics. Fauchard ' s ingenious prostheses along with other pioneers contributed immeasurably to the development of dentistry as a profession. Prosthodontics constitutes by far the largest and most difficult part of dentistry, and thus makes it a distinct branch of the art of medicine and gives to it the power to add to health, comfort, and enjoyment to life. Many developments resolving from World War II led to significant advances in prosthetic den- tistry. Among the most important innovations in the mid-20th Century years, are the high-speed rotary instrumentation for tooth preparation and metal alloys to which porcelain can be directly bonded. The treatment advances provided by these and other related developments precipitated the full mouth rehabilitation conce pt which is now widely accepted. Concurrent improvements in local anesthetic agents, forehanded chairside techniques, articulating devices, impression ma- terials, cements and plastics for provisional res- torations were realized. With a broader spectrum of treatment alternatives available, total patient care opportunities have been enhanced. The biologic physiologic basis for complex clinical prosthetic procedures have been estab- lished and has guided the design and fabrication of all types of fixed, removable implants and maxillofacial protheses. The Class of ' 88 will be involved in the treatment of the medically com- promised patient and also in the treatment of the geriatric individual. The Class of ' 88 will see the development of sophisticated techniques, such as, the develop- ment of laser technology in which artificial re- placements will be computer designed and pro- grammed. It is our hope that the 1988 Graduates of Co- lumbia will play a signigicant role in bringing this about. The Faculty of the Division of Prosth- odontics would like to congratulate you and ex- tend their sincere best wishes to you in your chosen profession. James W.

We also wish to thank the class for its coo- peration in pioneering the Quality As- surance Practice Management Comput- er Program. Without your serious par- ticipation, this milestone in SDOS edu- cation could not have been achieved. We hope that the experience and knowl- edge gained in this program will add a vital new dimension to your profession- al life. We are developing a third year com- puter program so that the third and fourth clinical years will present a con- tinuum in automatic data information, processing, and utilization. DAU ' s motto, Don ' t reinvent the Wheel ' ' will stand you in good stead throughout your professional life. GOOD LUCK!! I 22 Dr. D. Kaplan PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY Congratulations from the staff of Pe- diatric Dentistry. It has been a chal- lenging four years, but your hard ef- forts have now come to fruition. We, in Pediatric Dentistry, wish you the best and hope that you include the child in your practice, be it the general prac- tice of dentistry or one of the special- ties. We hope that you will continue to remain a student and a true profes- sional. It is most difficult to remain current in all the areas of our profes- sion during these times. Through our journals, continuing education, and personal dedication, you will be able to practice the level of oral health care you have strived to learn. In the coming years, Pediatric Den- tistry will continue to focus on preven- tion, growth and development guid- ance, and caring for the child with medical and physically compromising conditions. You have the ability and the judgment to provide basic care to these children. For your child patients you can be the introduction to a high- er quality of life through a positive experience in dentistry. You have our best wishes for success and an excit- ing career in the profession. Martin J. Davis, D.D.S. Dr. Davis 23 V Hand-over-mouth technique S. Barnard, R.D.M., Mrs. Brown nsrwiu i.i -m ■ I ,1 .

PERIODONTICS The changes in dentistry and dental education have been momentous in the last quarter century. Periodontics has been a central focus of this revo- lution. Supported by the dramatic re- duction in dental caries and the in- crease in human longevity, the goal of a lifetime natural dentition has pro- pelled 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 sci- ence and clinical periodontology. The key to successfully imparting this phi- losophy is a unique faculty blend of researchers and clinicians. The con- tributions of the Columbia faculty are notable, and Columbia graduates in- clude several dental school deans and the authors of a number of text- books. This eclectic blend of faculty offers the Columbia Student a broad range of approaches to clinical prob- lems. The graduate is well prepared to deal with the immediate needs of his or her patients and more impor- tantly, is ready to continue to study and understand the changes in perio- dontics in practices that will enter the twenty-first century.

Karabin, Robert Qottsegen Dr. Robert Gottsegen is first of all a Columbian. He earned his D.D.S. Degree and Certificate in Periodontology at Columbia in 1943 and 1948 respectively. Since that time he has brought honor and respect to his Alma Mater through his achievements in his chosen profession and by his influence on generations of Columbia graduates. If there is a triple crown in Periodontics, Dr. Gottsegen is among the few holders of this unique title. A past President of the American board of Periodontology, Director and Chairman of the American Board of Periodontology and the Director of the Division of Periodontics at SDOS from 1969 through 1988, Dr. Gottsegen has had a profound impact on dentistry in general and periodontics in particular. His commitment to his profession, his profound grasp of the periodontics literature, and his broadly based intellectual curiosity exemplify the best SDOS tradition. It has been in no small measure due to his leadership that Columbia has maintained a fine reputation in teaching and clinical investigation during the decades that periodontics assumed a central role in dental education. Bob, your colleagues here at Columbia wish you well as you begin a new phase of your career. We will eagerly continue to call upon you for the wise counsel you so generously provide.

This can be done prophylactically by protecting the pulp during restorative procedures as well as actively during cleaning, shaping and filling of the root canal. Endodontic treatment gives you a possibility to prevent and relieve pain. Endodontic treatment is rewarding, and done the right way - it is fun.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE SECTION The Public Health General Dentistry Fellowship is a full time, two-year program in the School of Public Health and the School of Dental and Oral Surgery, and is designed to enable recent graduates of dental schools or postgraduate programs to develop skills in dental research methods and epidemiology. The General Dentistry Program will offer a broad experience in the various disciplines of dentistry. David A. Albert DDS, MPH 36 RADIOLOGY Mildred Jenkins Jose Padilla 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 dis- ease, 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 popu- lation. This field will play a consider- able 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 1988 success in the future. Ronnie Myers, D.D.S. Dr. Ronnie Myers 38 STOMATOLOGY Dr. Edward V. Zegarelli i 1 € ' . r- — - £ lb , ; Drs. Stephen Stambler, Robert Kanas rff Dr. David J. Zegarelli Congratulations to the Class of 1988! You can be justifiably proud of your- selves in receiving a doctorate from Co- lumbia University. As you should real- ize, academics at Columbia University are very demanding and you had to spend much time and effort to achieve academic success at this institution. Mow, at this point it is important to remember that you should not discard your academic habits. Although this professional plateau has been reached it is necessary, even mandatory, that you continually read and study the ap- propriate literature and textbooks, in or- der to forever keep yourselves ' cur- rent . It is one of your responsibilities to encourage this of you. Your patients will demand this of you. Sincerely, David J. Zegarelli, D.D.S. r V ' Drs. M. Karmiol. H. Darwin, R. Scruff, P.

John Lind, Howard Ritt, David Hendell Drs. Ira Orenstein, Solomon Nadler. Drs. J. Smith, R. Schiff Dr. Thomas Gorman TMJ The role of the dentist as a mem- ber of a multidisciplinary team in- volved with diagnosis and treat- ment of temporomandibular joint diseases is evolving. TMJ disorders are often at the interface of several medical and dental specialties. Stu- dents who have had an opportunity to see patients in the TMJ clinic will appreciate the wide range of TMJ- Facial Pain disorders which exist. The thorough dental-medical back- ground the students receive pro- vides a good skeleton upon which clinical knowledge can grow. The capacity to see the whole person and not just the TM joint is empha- sized as evidenced by staff mem- bers from psychiatry, physical ther- apy, oral surgery, and general den- tistry. It will be the role of the Gener- al Dentist to recognize TMJ prob- lems and start the diagnostic pro- cess. Dr. Veligdan, Terry Hernandez Steven Syrop, D.D.S. Marilee Dr. McClellen, Dr. Kittay, Dr. Syrop, Dr. Israel, Dr. Klotz Dr. Gold COMMUNITY HEALTH GERIATRICS The elderly represent the most rapidly growing segment of the U.S. population. Individuals 65 years and older now com- prise approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population and are expected to increase by 20 percent by the year 2000. These statistics illustrate the need for dentists to gain the knowledge and skills necessary in providing care for this growing segment of the population. The elderly is far from a homogeneous group. Well and frail, ambulatory and compro- mised, homebound and institutionalized have all been used to describe this diverse population. The Geriatric Dentistry Program at Columbia University Dental and Oral Surgery provides both didactic and clinical courses to prepare students to meet the dental demands of the elderly. Physiologic, psychologic, and psychosocial is- sues of the elderly are covered in the academic program as well as conventional and innovative approaches in the dental treatment of the elderly. It is hoped that through the courses offered in the Geriatric Dentistry Program, students gain an increased awareness of their role in the health care of the elderly individual and continue to increase their knowledge and skills in the deliv- ery of dental services to the older adult patient.

All students should be familiar with the research process and should devel- op a critical sense and an ability to evaluate the supporting data for new materials and techniques. The Clinical Research Center can help provide the appropriate attitude and skills. Irwin D. Mandel D.D.S. Dr. M. Klyvert Dr. Irwin D. Mandel Dr. S.A.

The hard work- and personal sacrifice endured by ttaura to maintain a stable, family life while not just surviving, but excelling in one oj the nation ' s most rigorous dental school programs has kept me and everyone- around her in awe and indebted. Tt does not take- a lot oj imagination to understand that life ' s journey towards professionalism for a minority woman, is no cake walk , but TUvura ran this race filled with purpose and determination. She made no excuses or her position in the race, let nothing deter her from her goal, and now crosses the Jinisfi tine a champion in whom God is well pleased. Maura is special, so very special, and the past four years at Columbia has just been a preview of coming attractions to those of us who love her as she prepares to live out God ' s plan for the rest of her life.

Its completion, de- spite interviews, externships, and requirements attests to the work, imagination and dedication involved. Sharon Stern, Phoebe Tan- nenbaum, Martha Dovali and Johan The, were the back- bone of the team. They worked hard late nights and weekends to make its publi- cation possible.

STAFF Sharon DeChiara Eli Marzo Mercedes Dovali ADVISORS: Dr. Sandford Salz Dr. Steven Lepowsky The 1988 Dental COLUMBIAN Staff hopes that the photographs and memories collected in this book will help our fellow classmates recall their years spent at COLUMBIA. We extend here our heartfelt congratula- tions! Phoebe occupied herself with the task of pulling the Graduates pages together. Between laying out the photos and reviewing the biographies, she got us through our first deadlines. During the summer she began to create the artwork seen on the divider pages. This while we were all tak- ing our first fledgling steps into the world of publishing. Sharon found her forte in copy work. She spent many long hours at the word processor in the library, writing the dedications and the ad- vertisements. Then she continued to work in the layouts and the photographs. She was active in every aspect of the production. Creating ideas for pages, trying to lure other students to help. She gave unstintingly of her time and energy, all the time with a smile! 210 Martha did a phenomenal job in organizing a comput- erized system to solicit contributions. Innumerable phone calls and 600 letters to potential contributors were rewarded with a record collection close to 12,000.00 dollars. She was the main force behind the monumental task of folding, stuffing, addressing, stamping and sealing each request. But her efforts in no way stopped there. She spent many hours working on the layouts, taking pictures in the clinic, and to the Q.W. bridge for the end sheets. It was hard to meet the dead- line for publication and for requirements, but she did it. Special acknowledgement is deserved by many of the students, faculty and staff. We had encouragement from everyone, even if they needed a push!. Invaluable advice came from Drs. Thomas Cangialosi and Sidney Horowitz. We also want to thank all those people who made our work easier by smoothing out the road through paper- work: Barbara Stewart, Ann Emmerich, Jay Wexler, Yo- landa Ruiz, Francina Wearing, Qigi Carrasquillo, Thank you Mrs. Farrington for your concern with the mailings, Mary George for your help with phone calls, and Rene6 Sonnenberg for the contributions you got. Johan The, cartoonist, made the time pass quickly during those late night sessions, none could be more fun to work with, nor could his talent with pen and paper be sur- passed. While we were all laughing at one cartoon, he was already imagining the next. And his wit for captioning the candids was matchless.
