Cornhusker Impressions for alumni and friends of the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry

SimMan: Big man on campus He breathes and blinks. His chest rises and falls. His pulse can be felt at his wrist, neck, above his elbows, and in his feet. He can even tell you how he feels. And he is one of the most talked about new arrivals at the UNMC College of Dentistry. The SimMan® is a patient simulation system manufactured by Laerdal Medical, the same company that developed the resuscitation-training manikin, Resusci Anne. SimMan will be used to teach general emergency response techniques to dental and hygiene students and to teach graduate students how to respond in anesthesia-related emergencies. “I appreciate the fact we are one of the few dental schools in the country able to do this, due to the generosity of our alumni and friends,” said Dr. J. Bruce Bavitz, the Merritt C. Pedersen Endowed Professor of Dentistry. “This puts us on the cutting edge of one area of dentistry. At the same time we are trying to possibly save someone’s life through the use of the best equipment available.” The SimMan, which cost $50,000, was purchased in 2011 with private donations to the College of Dentistry’s Development Fund, Technology Fund, and other private

Margin of Excellence Our fall issue of Cornhusker Impressions focuses on the generosity of our alumni and friends. This issue contains some great examples of what private support does to keep us strong: cutting-edge teaching equipment (SimMan), support for student leadership activities, and collegiate renovations and furnishings (preclinic laboratories). In addition, this issue recognizes the many people and organizations who have contributed in the past year and those who have given at the Dean’s Club level. We have just completed the final steps in renovating the clinical and preclinical areas of the school, most of which had not received major upgrading since the building was constructed in 1967. The newest improvements in our preclinic labs are the last step in this phase of our current building upgrades. You can read more about the preclinic labs in this issue. The clinic-related improvements actually began in 2002 with the construction of the Henry and June Weeth Instrument Management Center, so we have been “in progress” for a long time. Ten classes of students have graduated since the first of these renovations began.

Cornhusker Impressions | Fall 2011 Impressions is published three times a year for alumni and friends of the UNMC College of Dentistry. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Dean: Dr. John Reinhardt Editorial Assistants: Cathy Rutt Deb Rodaway Director of Alumni Affairs: Dr. David Blaha Writer: Jana Miller Photography: Margaret Cain For additional printed copies, contact: David Blaha [email protected] (402) 486-1001

Now that we have completed the physical improvements, we are focusing on even greater support for people and programs. Our educational programs, research activities, and service outcomes continue to remain very strong, but the basis for that excellence is the people behind these programs – our faculty and students. Susan Norby, NU Foundation Director of Development, has written an article in this issue that describes our goals and progress as part of the Campaign for Nebraska: Unlimited Opportunities. I hope as you read that article, you will think hard about the progress we have made, and consider what is yet to be done. If you haven’t already contributed or pledged during the campaign, I hope you will think about that now. With three new dental schools opening in the United States this fall and more than 300 vacant full-time faculty positions among U.S. dental schools, the challenge of attracting and retaining the best and brightest faculty and students is becoming more difficult. However, thanks to the generosity of so many of you, as well as others who preceded you, the college has achieved remarkable success. As always, we are proud of our progress but not satisfied with our successes. And we strive to not only maintain but to improve the quality of everything we do. Your loyal contributions are the key to helping us continue to attract and keep the best faculty and students who make our programs outstanding. Thank you for your steadfast support. If you have not contributed to the college, I encourage you to join us. The margin of excellence would not be possible without your significant gifts.

“Depending on what the student does, SimMan could get better or not. There are different ways the scenario could unfold.” Dr. Bruce Bavitz Merritt C. Pedersen Endowed Professor of Dentisty

SimMan continued from cover funds. He is housed in a private room in the North Clinic. A contest to name the SimMan will be announced in August. Bavitz said the SimMan will be used by dental and hygiene students to practice for medical emergencies that can happen anywhere but particularly in a dental office where the incidence may be slightly higher than in a homelike setting because of patient anxiety. Among those emergencies are fainting, heart attacks, strokes, and diabetic reactions. “Most dentists will encounter one lifethreatening emergency and several minor ones in the lifetime of his or her practice,” Bavitz said. The incidence is slightly higher for dental specialists who administer deep sedation. While life-threatening emergencies may not happen often, he said the college is committed to preparing

students to respond promptly and effectively when they do occur. “Most of us, fortunately, will never have to face the scenario,” Bavitz said. Medical scenarios, based on a wide range of vital signs, clinical signs, and symptoms, can be pre-programmed into the SimMan’s computer software system, and students’ responses can be observed, recorded, and assessed. Typical comments like, “I feel faint,” “I don’t feel very good,” and “I’m better,” also can be pre-programmed. For example, as the SimMan tells students that he is feeling light headed and he thinks he may faint, his blood pressure and heart rate begin to drop. The patient outcome depends on the student’s response, Bavitz said. “Depending on what the student does, SimMan could get better or not. There are different ways

the scenario could unfold.” Students can use a defibrillator, apply chest compressions, administer shock, or perform mouth-tomouth resuscitation on SimMan. They can also administer medications and start IVs. Use of the SimMan will be incorporated into the existing medical emergency course taught by Dr. Darrell Ebke. “This adds a dimension of sophistication and realism we never had before,” Bavitz said. Laerdal, the manufacturer, said Resusci Anne was developed with just that thought in mind. The founder was convinced students would be more motivated to learn if the manikin were life-sized and life-like. SimMan also will be used to prepare dental specialists, mainly oral surgeons, periodontists, and pediatric dentists, who deliver advanced anesthesia, which presents the possibility of additional

complications. With SimMan, instructors can simulate a person who has stopped breathing while under anesthesia. The student can respond by administering an effective antidote or breathe for the patient. The college expects to introduce the SimMan to a general medical emergency course for continuing education credit for dental practitioners in 2012, Bavitz said. The SimMan is full size at 5-feet-9. He weighs 88 pounds and is made of durable plastic, rubber, and mini computer components. An accompanying laptop is the command center, and a monitor displays his vital signs. While the SimMan has a male hairstyle and physique, snap-on parts can give it male or female features. With that in mind, Bavitz suggested a gender-neutral name might be appropriate.

Student leaders from the UNMC College of Dentistry are, from left, Britt Marsh, Jack Huebner, Kyle Beulke, and Ryan Hajek.

Nebraska dental students step forward to lead two national student associations Jack Huebner is an analytical thinker who carefully chooses his words. Ryan Hajek, class president for four years, can bring a diverse group to consensus and quickly win over his peers. Britt Marsh “encourages the heart” with his outgoing personality and uplifting attitude. And Kyle Beulke? “Well, if I asked him to move rocks for five hours after school, I don’t think he would say no,” said Hajek. “Kyle is a giving and caring person, which is what you would like in a leader.” The four UNMC College of Dentistry students are all leaders, filling significant leadership roles in national dental student organizations in 2011-2012. Dean John Reinhardt said it is rare for the college to have so many students serving at the same time or succeeding each other in these important national leadership positions.

The students say their service is a direct reflection of the positive environment at the college and the support they receive from faculty and administrators, many of whom set an example by being involved in dental organizations themselves, despite busy schedules of teaching, research, and patient care. “Nebraska should be proud,” said Hajek, a fourth-year dental student from Huron, SD, and chair of the Council of Students, Residents, and Fellows of the American Dental Education Association (ADEA). “It’s not just support from the faculty, it’s encouragement. When we return from meetings, the faculty always want to know what happened, what’s going on. This says a lot about the school and what we represent.” Being involved in leadership roles, the students said, has given them the opportunity to travel, to meet and network with fellow students from across the country, to sit down and talk to faculty members and administrators from other colleges, to bring back new ideas to Nebraska and to share some of the College of Dentistry’s unique programs with other schools. “We all appreciate the camaraderie with students from other schools,” said Marsh, a second-year student from Torrington, WY, who is a regional liaison for the ADEA Council of Students, Residents, and Fellows. Their experiences also have helped them develop communication, leadership, and time management skills and have provided a welcome balance to a demanding academic schedule. “You have to do the best you can with what you have,” said Huebner, a fourthyear student from Hershey, NE. His work with the American Student Dental Association (ASDA) gave him the opportunity to observe the inner workings of a large, well-run organization. “I like to know how things work,” explained Huebner, who will represent ASDA’s District 8 at the American Dental Association House of Delegates meeting this fall in Las Vegas. The students said their experiences also have set the course for involvement in their communities and professions after graduation. “We are the dentists of tomorrow,” Hajek said, following in the footsteps of his father, Dr. Tom Hajek, a 1976 College of Dentistry graduate and past president of the South Dakota Dental Association. The students have given up lazy Saturday mornings and have spent time after class with conference calls and emails while their classmates head home, but they said the rewards have been worth the effort. “You have to make a few sacrifices; that’s a part of taking a leadership role,” said Beulke, a third-year student from Omaha who is District 8 trustee for the American Student Dental Association. He succeeded Huebner in the position, a first for the college, according to Dean Reinhardt. “I can’t say no,” explained Beulke when asked why he agreed to take on the ASDA position. “I can further my knowledge of dentistry and what goes on in the dental world. And I see the value of networking.” Student involvement isn’t new for Beulke. He was a tour guide and president of his fraternity at Rockhurst University. “I like to be involved to not just keep me busy, but to keep me sane,” said Marsh, who was a captain and president of the club baseball team at the University of Wyoming. “I like to be a voice for those around me.” In his first year in dental school, he spent all day, every day studying or in class. Being involved in organizations has allowed him “to get out and see what else is going on.” His involvement also has introduced him to aspects of dentistry that may not be experienced in the classroom, but that will be useful in his future dental practice.

Serious agendas to come before the ASDA, ADEA Of all the business that is now before the two major U.S. student dental associations, five important issues came to the top of the list, according to leaders from the UNMC College of Dentistry. Two College of Dentistry dental students – Jack Huebner and Kyle Beulke – play leadership roles in the American Student Dental Association. And dental students Ryan Hajek and Britt Marsh are involved with the American Dental Education Association. Private giving to the college enables student leaders to attend meetings of these two groups and other major student organizations. The four student leaders identified the following issues as most pressing: • Incorporating social media into dental education. How do you do it, will it work, how can it be incorporated into dental education without being distracting? • Maintaining the autonomy of dentistry so dentists can run their practices as they see best without being overregulated. • Examining how mid-level providers, such as dental therapists, are educated and how they fit into the scope of practice. • Attracting and retaining dental school faculty, especially given tight state budgets and the financial appeal of private practice. • Assessing the impact of new pass/ fail scoring system for Parts I and II of the National Board exams on admission policies for advanced programs.

Remodeled preclinic labs offer clean air, convenient computer monitors, ‘psychological boost’ In their first hour or so of dental school, first-year students at the UNMC College of Dentistry learn to assemble high- and low-speed handpieces and start using the handpieces to cut a block of plastic as if they were preparing a tooth for a restoration.

a bright, healthy environment that is conducive to student learning and convenient for students, faculty, and staff. Also, he said, the fresh colors and furnishings contribute to the “psychological boost you get out of having something new.”

“It gives them a sense of being in dental school,” said Dr. Bill Johnson, associate professor who co-teaches the 8 a.m. Dental Materials and Techniques class with Dr. Mark Beatty.

The new labs, designed to accommodate 50 students each, feature a bench-top evacuation system that removes dust and other particulate matter from the air, as well as conveniently placed computer monitors, enabling students to view instructors’ PowerPoint presentations and video demonstrations up close. One monitor is provided for every two students at the custom-designed workstations.

After an introductory lecture, “they have their handpieces in their hands by 9:30,” Johnson said, adding that the College of Dentistry is one of a very few schools in the United States that introduces handpieces in

Second-year students will be working in a second newly remodeled preclinic laboratory next door. Dr. Larry Haisch, project coordinator, said the remodeled preclinic labs provide

Katherine Bush of Kearney, a third-year dental student, especially appreciates the computer monitors at the workstations. In the old labs, presentations were projected on three large screens at the front of each classroom. Students in the front row had to turn around in their seats to view the screens, and students in the back row had difficulty seeing the fine detail, she said.

Rhonda Simpson, Instrument Management Center supervisor, said students now will stay in the same lab for the first two years of dental school, easing the stress and confusion of multiple moves. In the past, first-year students started in one lab and moved to the other lab the second year. Dental aide Bonnie Johnson oversees the daily operation and upkeep of the labs and works with course directors, preparing materials for students, educating students on the value of materials and equipment, and stressing to students the importance of OSHA regulations.

Johnson, who is vice chair of the Department of Adult Restorative Dentistry, and Beatty, professor and section director of Dental Materials, have been co-teaching the class for 12 years. In a first-year curriculum dominated by basic sciences, students “feel like they are becoming a part of dentistry” in the preclinic labs, Johnson said.

He was a past president of the Nebraska Dental Alumni Association and the Lincoln District Dental Association. Dr. Cech and his wife, Anne, and other orthodontic alumni were instrumental in the funding of a seminar room and library for the Department of Growth and Development in 2006.

Rural dentist consults via telehealth with faculty, students about patient with gunshot wound A middle-aged patient who had sustained a gunshot wound to the face more than a decade ago was the first case presented June 25 in the UNMC College of Dentistry’s new Community Grand Rounds. David Brown, PhD, executive associate dean, said the patient had not received proper care at the time of the injury and, as a result, “had lost several teeth and most of the right mandible.” Many of the remaining teeth were in jeopardy because of decay and infection. Dr. Susan Alexander (DDS, 2004), a UNMC staff dentist who works at the Good Neighbor Community Health Center in Columbus, presented the patient’s case from Columbus to some 50 dental students and faculty members assembled in Dixon Lecture Hall at the college. The unusual case “was an eye opener for students,” Brown said. “I don’t think they had seen anything like this. I’ve never even seen a gunshot wound to the face.” The patient had lost hearing in one ear and suffered with TMJ problems as a result of the injury. As part of the Community Grand Rounds protocol, Alexander used photos, radiographs, and intraoral camera images to seek expert opinions from the COD specialty faculty. In turn, the faculty used the case to pose issues and ask questions of the students regarding differential diagnoses, treatment options, and prognosis. The exchange was transmitted from Alexander’s clinic in Columbus to a data projector and plasma display in Dixon Hall through the Nebraska Telehealth Network. Community Grand Rounds is an interactive videoconference presentation of a patient’s oral health needs and a discussion

by a panel of COD experts regarding potential treatment options. Brown said out-of-the-ordinary cases are chosen to give students another learning opportunity. In this first case, the specialists at the college praised Alexander for her high quality work, he said. The purpose of Grand Rounds is to introduce practitioners and students to the opportunities and benefits of using telehealth to serve the oral health needs of patients in rural communities, Brown said. It also is intended to demonstrate that practicing dentistry in a rural area does not mean isolation from the dental community and dental specialty support. In Community Grand Rounds, case presentations originate from rural dental offices and are transmitted to the College of Dentistry in Lincoln and to UNMC in Omaha. The audience consists primarily of third- and fourth-year dental students and interested COD faculty. Brown said the college anticipates hosting Grand Rounds presentations four times a year, with the next one, and possibly two, expected this fall. No dates have been set. One of the next presenters is expected to be Dr. Jessica Meeske, a pediatric dentist in Hastings and a mentor for the college’s dental students, hygiene students, and graduate students. Future Grand Rounds presentations will be available to alumni and other interested health professionals via desktop streaming and connection with other Nebraska Telehealth Network sites, Brown said. Support for Community Grand Rounds has come from an $8,000 grant from the State of Nebraska Office of Rural Health.

Take a walk through dental history at the 2011 Reunion Alumni and friends who visit the UNMC College of Dentistry for the 2011 Reunion don’t have to walk far to experience more than 150 years of dental history.

Lower right: Dental supplies from the 1930s atop a mahogany dental cabinet Lower left: A Ritter unit from the 1930s

It’s just a few short steps from the newly remodeled preclinic laboratories, where a new evacuation system minimizes exposure to dust and other particulate matter, to the college’s Dental Museum, where more than 150 years of dental artifacts are displayed, some in period settings. Included in the displays is a 1930s Ritter unit that houses almost everything a dentist would need—a drill, water, lights.

Another artifact from the 1930s is a mahogany dental cabinet with supplies of the period including bottles of Listerine. In a 1910 dental office, visitors will find a wall-mounted dental drill that hangs from a pulley. Dr. Stan Harn, museum curator, will be available to answer questions about these and other items during reunion week, September 12-17. The museum will be open the following hours during the week: Mon., Tues., and Fri. | 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Wed. and Thurs. | 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. Saturday | 8 a.m. – 12 noon

‘Your contribution is a great way to thank the dental college’ By Susan Norby, Director of Development, University of Nebraska Foundation A very loyal, supportive alumnus recently sent me this statement to include in an upcoming 25th class reunion giving appeal: “Your contribution is a great way to thank the dental college for the education you received, which helped make you the best dentist, dental hygienist, orthodontist, endodontist, periodontist, pediatric dentist or oral surgeon in your community.” This reminder is right on the mark. The crux of charitable giving for your alma mater is about giving back to an institution that helped you succeed professionally and has been pivotal to your career and lifestyle. In so doing, your gift helps the college continue its mission of educating generations of oral health professionals who will soon join you as colleagues and fellow alumni. The college depends on your charitable support and puts all gifts to excellent use. Charitable giving has an especially vital role, as state funding and tuition alone do not cover all that’s needed to provide modern, world-class oral health education.

programs such as Dental Day, the Sealant Program and the Sharing Clinic, which reach patients who otherwise may not have access to oral health care. And now it’s seen through the success of the Campaign for Nebraska: Unlimited Possibilities, the University of Nebraska’s comprehensive fundraising initiative led by the University of Nebraska Foundation. This campaign seeks gifts to the College of Dentistry to create and sustain a margin of excellence in comprehensive oral health clinical instruction, research and patient care. The campaign recognizes philanthropy is critical to achieving and sustaining our college’s status as one of the finest institutions for oral health education. Publicly announced in 2009, the campaign concludes in 2014. The goal for the College of Dentistry is to raise $12 million in gifts and qualified planned gifts. As of May 31, 2011, alumni and friends have generously given nearly $9.4 million, placing us at 78 percent of the goal. Highlights of this support include more than • $4.5 million for academic programs

This annual Honor Roll issue of Cornhusker Impressions provides another opportunity to say thank you to all who have made an important investment in the college. The aggregate impact of many alumni contributing is significant and visible. It’s seen in the state-of-the-art clinic renovations and new equipment.

Kudos More than 225 needy children benefitted from services provided June 2-4 at Dental Day XX in the Nebraska Panhandle. Dean John Reinhardt noted the “remarkable spirit of giving at each site” – Alliance, Chadron, Gordon, and Sidney. He commended Dental Day planners and organizers, pediatric residents, and faculty leaders – Dr. David Brown; Dr. Scott Hamilton; Dr. Jim Jenkins; Dr. Ernie Sigler; Gwen Hlava, RDH; and Todd Junge, RDH. He also thanked Lisa Moravec, RDH, and Nicole Fritschie, RDH, from the West Division Dental Hygiene Program; Dr. Dan Gioia and his staff at Chadron; Troy Stevens who transported, installed, and serviced equipment; and the staff and faculty who contributed to the event, while remaining in Lincoln. Dr. Joan Sivers has been named interim chair of the Department of Growth and Development, a position that had been held by Dr. Curt Kuster. Kuster retired July 8. The UNMC College of Dentistry hosted 20 pre-dental students in the Summer Medical Dental Education Program in June and July. The undergraduate students from across the United States spent each Friday for six weeks at the college. UNMC is one of 12 sites selected by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to host the annual summer program. The students attend courses about science and dentistry, work with manikins in preclinic laboratories and clinics, and learn about the dental school application process.

Congratulations to Dr. Hany Makkawy for his volunteer work at the People’s Health Center in Lincoln. Makkawy and dental students from the College of Dentistry provided root canal treatment for many patients at the center over the past 10 months. His volunteer work was featured June 25 in the Lincoln Journal Star Neighborhood Extra. A $15,000 grant has been awarded to the College of Dentistry Dental Hygiene Program to sustain and expand its Omaha Dental Hygiene Sealant Program. Todd Junge, assistant professor, was the primary author of the grant application. The money was awarded by the National Children’s Oral Health Foundation. Lisa Moravec, RDH, MS, has been selected as Hu-Friedy’s 2011 ADHA Center for Lifelong Learning Scholar. Moravec is assistant professor and coordinator of the Dental Hygiene West Division Program in Gering. She was recognized at the ADHA’s annual session in Nashville, TN. Dental hygiene students Kimberly Nuss and Ginny McCracken received honorable mention on their poster at the ADHA Annual Session’s Research Poster Competition. Their poster was titled, “An in Vivo Evaluation of Occupational Radiation Exposure of a Hand-held Portable Digital Radiographic Unit.” Their faculty mentor was Dr. Shawneen Gonzalez.
