Endodontists in the Federal Services -

A Tribute to Those Who Serve or Served

Now that the Cold War has been won and the federal services are undergoing a downsizing restructure, we need to pause and reflect on the special contributions of federal service endodontists to the AAE and endo- dontics. The time is right for this reflection because their contributions

are at a maximum now and inevitably will be reduced following the restructuring.

When we speak of the federal services we mean the Army, Air Force, Navy, Public Health Service and Veterans Administration. Taken as a group, their contributions to the specialty of endodontics, to the AAE and to the discipline of endodontics is impressive. They have contributed to the organizational structure of the AAE through participation in multiple committees. Because of their good work, seven former career federal service people rose through the AAE ranks to become President of the AAE (six from the Navy: Hedman, Bucher, Zeigler, Osetek, Cunningham and Tenca; and one from the Public Health Service: Van Hassel).

The list could go on and on. Four past AAE Editors, several Directors of the American Board of Endodontics, and Trustees of the R & E Foundation have come from the federal services.

Besides the leadership responsibilities, consider their support of the Annual Session through table clinics, poster clinics, and research seminars. If you analyze the recent successful Diplomates of the American Board of Endodontics, it is easy to see that most of them are on active duty in the federal services. I am informed that 80% of Navy endodontists are Board-certified, compared to 20% of civilian endodontists. And there have been numerous articles in the Journal of Endodonticscontributed by federal service people. The continuing education opportunities offered at Bethesda, Walter Reed and Wilford Hall are well known and highly respected.

We have discussed previously our need for endodontic educators. Currently, federal service

endodontists comprise a large faction of our educators. A few moments of reflection quickly bring to mind many of the active departmental chairmen who are retired from the military.

The clinical care contributions of federal service endodontists cover a wide spectrum. From high ranking government officials in the White House, Cabinet and Congress to soldiers on active duty and their dependents around the globe, these endodontists provide care for thousands of military veterans, as well as those on Indian reservations and in federal prisons. We all recall our pride in those endodontists who served in Saudi Arabia as part of Operation Desert Storm.

As we review the contributions of the federal services to the AAE, we recognize that it has been, and continues to be, quite significant. Now we have to consider the effect on the AAE of downsizing the federal services. Will our research output downsize? Will our number of incoming Board Diplomates downsize? Will our pool of available endodontic educators downsize? Will the strength of our specialty downsize? These are serious questions that will need serious consideration. Fortunately, all of these activities will take several years to accomplish which leaves time to implement a plan of action to overcome this loss.

The support of the AAE by the federal services is very important to the strength of the Association. It is a too frequently unrecognized asset. It's important that the AAE support the people in the federal services and listen to their concerns, one which is whether there will be a strong specialty when they leave the federal services for private practice, teaching or research. To answer that concern, we can assure them that the total efforts of the AAE are directed toward constantly strengthening the specialty of endodontics.

After more than 35 years of strong support for the AAE and the discipline of endodontics by the federal services, it is time we recognize their accomplishments and contributions. So wherever you are, around the world or in the states, on active duty or retired, in clinical care, teaching or research, we want to say thanks for a job well done. It is our turn to salute you.

CBS News Correspondent Charles Kuralt to address 50th AAE Annual Session in Chicago

Charles Kuralt, host of CBS News' Sunday Morning and author of the best- selling "A Life on the Road," will be the featured speaker at the Friday Lun- cheon, April 30, at the AAE's 50th Annual Session in Chicago.

Best known for his work on Sunday Morning, Kuralt has earned such pres- tigious broadcasting honors as the George Foster Peabody Award (three times) and ten Emmy Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Kuralt regularly takes part in CBS News coverage of special events -- national elections, international sum- mit meetings and such extraordinary news stories as the 1989 democracy movement in China. His trademark is finding the "little stories" thathelp view-

C h a r l e s K u r a l t

ers identify with the great events. Dur- ing the crisis which lead to war in the Persian Gulf, he co-anchored the nightly CBS News broadcast America Tonight,

including a series of national town meet- ings.

In his early days at CBS News, Kuralt reported from the far corners of the world: Africa, Asia, and all 23 Latin American nations. He even spent eight weeks on the ice of the Arctic Ocean covering the attempt of a polar expedi- tion to reach the North Pole. He de- tailed his wanderings in six books, in- cluding his memoir, "A Life on the Road," which became the bestselling hard- cover nonfiction book of 1990.

Much of the experience and per- spective that Kuralt has gained through his career will be related in his presen- tation in April. Be sure to make your reservations early for the Friday Lun- cheon, April 30, 1993 at the AAE's 50th Annual Session in Chicago.

Florida Endodontist Logs 20 Years in the Cockpit Between Practices For more than 20 years, just getting

to and from work has been an adven- ture for Dr. Wayne O. Smith of Vero Beach, Florida.

During that time, Dr. Smith and his staff have flown back and forth be- tween his two offices in Vero Beach and West Palm Beach. In 1992, they cel- ebrated their 2000th flight since they began this unusual commute 20 years ago.

In 1972 Dr. Smith opened a satellite office in Ft. Pierce, Florida, flying there one day a week from his home office in West Palm Beach. In 1975 he increased his trips to twice a week. In March 1979, due to his expanded referral area, he moved his satellite practice further up the coast to Vero Beach and continued to commute twice a week from West Palm Beach.

Because the Vero Beach area was able to support a full-time endodontist most of the year and is such a beautiful little town, Dr. Smith decided to reverse the sequence in 1989. He made Vero Beach his permanent home and now flies to West Palm Beach twice a week.

Dr. Smith lost his Centurion 210, as well asthe hangar he housed it in, when a tornado ripped through the Vero Beach Airport last year. Two months of driving that 100 mile one-way trip while he searched for another plane con- vinced him that flying was the only way to continue this practice. Eventually, he found another Centurion 210 and was back in the air again.

In the 20 years and 2000 flights since he began this commute, Dr. Smith has had to abort flights only a handful of times due to bad weather. Because of the intense thunder storms on the south- east coast in the summer months and the dense fog in the winter, an airplane with a full instrument panel, capable of penetrating these weather systems is essential. His Centurion 210 is equipped with radar, a storm scope and a com- plete avionics package making it ex- tremely capable and reliable for the job.

Dr. Smith's flying career began when he was 14 years old, as he sold maga- zines and raked yards all week to sup- port his one-hour flying lessons each Saturday morning. He earned his pri- vate pilot's license that same year (when you could still fib about your age). He

Dr. Wayne O. Smith of Vero Beach, Florida and Shirley Hill, his assistant of 27years, stand beside the Centurion 210 that they use to bridge the 100 miles between offices in Vero Beach and West Palm Beach, Florida. Making this commute for more than 20years, the pair just celebrated their 2000th flight.

later became a Navy fighter pilot, flying in Navy aircraft carrier fighter squad- rons. After completing Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Maryland, Dr. Smith served as a test pilot until resigning from the Navy. He continued to pursue test flying after the Navy with an aircraft company.

Throughout his six years of dental training, Dr. Smith was employed part- time by a commuter and airfreight air- line in Sandusky, Ohio. He also contin- ued flying in a Navy Reserve Jet Squad- ron one weekend a month for several years after commencing practice.

Often asked how he managed to go from test pilot to endodontist, Dr. Smith recalls serving aboard the aircraft car-

rier USS Coral Sea during the Korean War. His roommate was killed and a Navy Reserve dentist moved into his quarters. That Reserve dentist spent the rest of the duty tour with him and, by the time the tour was over, had suc- cessfully planted the seed of going to dental school in the back of Dr. Smith's mind. Several years later, following his test pilot days, he enrolled in dental school.

Twenty years of flying back and forth have added an interesting wrinkle to Dr. Smith's dental career. He finds it refreshing to wake up every other morning, knowing he's going to have some fun on the way to the office that day.

Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Endodontic Instrumentation Techniques

American Association of Endodontists Continuing Education Course

Wednesday, April 28, 1993, Hyat t Regency Hotel - Chicago

C a n a l instrumentation is an essential component of root canal therapy, long associated with the prognosis and success of endodontic treatment. This all-day course will feature classic and alternative approaches to endodontic instrumentation by endodontic practitioners closely associated with these topics. The presentations are intended to provide historical perspectives regarding the development

of these techniques, as well as to discuss contemporary improvements and alterations useful for the challenges associated with current endodontic practice. Each participant will receive useful "take home" techniques to enhance the overall treatment of their patients.

Part I: Classical Instrumentation Techniques

8:15 am Standardization of root canal instruments: historical perspective MICHAEL A. HEUER, DDS, MS, Chicago, IL

The necessity to standardize root canal instruments arose out of techniques used in clinical practice in the 1950s. Beginning with discussions between the AAE Research Committee and the Dental Materials Group of IADR, a sub-committee was formed to explore the feasibility of instrument standardization in 1961. By 1966 the American Dental Association and the American National Standards Institute had included endodontic instruments and materials in their standards development programs. Since 1972 the International Standards Organization and the Federation Dentaire Internationale have been working on endodontic standards. This presentation traces the development of standards for endodontic instruments and the application of these standards to endodontic practice in the 1990s.

9:05 am The traditional step-back technique with the new apical clearing adaptations RICHARD E. WALTON, DMD, MS, Iowa City, IA

The step-back technique has evolved because of demonstrated inadequacies and problems with a standardized approach. Flaring has been shown to adapt better to curved irregularly shaped canals, with improved debridement, obturation and fewer errors. Apical clearing improves debridement and enlargement of the apical canal, without increasing transportation.

11:05 am Ten years of balanced forces *JAMES B. ROANE, DDS, MS, Oklahoma City, OK

Balanced force instrumentation was first published in 1985 and is becoming widely accepted. Using its concepts, the forces which drive our cleaning and shaping procedures may be defined; therefore, transportation may be controlled and ledges eliminated. Understanding how instruments interact with the tooth during our shaping process enables us to prevent unexpected results and gives us an ability to enhance existing techniques. With improved dynamics such concepts as coronal radicular preparation become a reality. (Single visit can be given standards through specified preparation form.) Ten years of use has cultivated an understanding which now provides greater use and reliability for the daily procedures of an endodontic practice.

Part II: Alternative Instrumentation Techniques

1:15 pm Cavi-endo: flare, file with new instrumentation *HOWARD MARTIN, DMD, Silver Springs, MD

A simple, efficient, effect ive approach to canal preparation, updating cavi-endo ultrasonics and the latest instruments which create a smooth, clean canal for ease of obturation. Instruments discussed are endo access bur, cavi- endo ultrasonics, M series orifice openers and control safe end H & K files.

2:05 pm New dimensions for root canal preparations: the consequences of automated nickel titanium instru- mentation *JOHN T. McSPADDEN, DDS, Chattanooga, TN

Pervasive in root canal failures are the limitations imposed upon the operator by instrument design and material. Nickel titanium and mechanical utilization of new file designs remove many threats for instrumentation failures. Moreover, "difficult" cases can now be approached effectively, expeditiously and effortlessly with favorable consequences for enhanced obturation.

3:15 pm Passive step-back technique: A sequential use of ultrasonic and hand instruments MAHMOUD TORABINEJAD, DMD, MSD, Loma Linda, CA

The main objectives of root canal preparation are removal of irritants and enlargement of the root canal system to be filled in three dimensions. To achieve these goals, the prepared root canal should have a progressive taper from its orifice to its terminus and should stimulate its original anatomy as much as possible. A number of hand, sonic and ultrasonic instrumentation techniques have been used to prepare root canals. Based on the endodontic literature, each technique has its own limitations when used alone. In this presentation, a combined sequential method of hand/ ultrasonic techniques will be presented to achieve desired root canal preparations.

4:05 pm The canal master: a new root canal instrument and instrumentation technique *E. STEVE SENIA, DDS, MS, San Antonio, TX

Because properly cleaning and shaping the root canal system is such a critical element of successful endodontics, we need instruments to perform this difficult task. Existing instruments have significant limitations. They do not stay centered in curved canals when sizes large enough to ensure cleaning all canal walls are used. This lecture discusses instrumentation, the canal master design and its use.
