Annual Meeting and Convocation

President’s Welcome Aloha!Welcome to the beautiful islands of the state of Hawaii. We gather here in Ho-nolulu for the 98th Annual Meeting and Convocation of the American College of Dentists. This group of islands greets us

with a unique environment. Where else in the United States can you hear such different languages, sample island foods, and enjoy such beautiful flowers and landscapes?

We have a rich line-up of experiences both in and outdoors, all to stimulate your thoughts and experiences. The con-tinuing education topics and speakers have been selected to give you valuable insights into topics core to our mission. The presentations will stimulate you to engage your col-leagues in conversation and reflection.

The official kick-off of the 98th Annual Meeting begins with the Fellows Forum on Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Larry Garetto will guide us through several video dilemma cases. Working with the Indiana School of Dentistry, Dr. Garetto has produced sixteen very popular videos that help to clarify and define values in ethics. You and your fellow participants will explore the range of ethical options to help you improve your skills while being among the first dental professionals to view and work with the latest video.

Directly after the Fellows Forum are the Regency Breakout Sessions. Sections gather together in their Regency groups to share ideas and best practices, and hear updates regard-ing College activities on the national level. Sharing ideas and successes will make your Section stronger. Your Regent will be your moderator.

At the Orientation for New Fellows and the Annual Busi-ness Meeting of the College, Executive Director, Dr. Theresa Gonzales, will address the history of the College, how you fit in, and what is expected of all Fellows. President-elect Thomas Connolly will share his vision of the College.

Our morning Keynote Presentation, “The Hero Effect” by


2 ACD 2018

American College of Dentists

Kevin Brown, should inspire you to be your best. When you are the one to affect results, people look to you to deliver your best effort day in and day out. How you do that affects your results.

At lunch we will have a glimpse into the heritage and tradition of Hawaii. “The Allure of the Islands” will feature dance and history. The hula dance has not always been done as it is portrayed today. It has a rich history going back many years.

Thursday afternoon is the highlight of our meeting— Convocation. For the 98th time, the Mace and the Torch, symbols of leadership, lead the procession of candidates. Those candidates exemplify leadership and exemplary con-tributions to dentistry and society. They will cross the stage and be recognized by their peers and families, the latest in a long and distinguished line of leaders in dentistry.

We are honored to have as our speaker Major General Thomas R. Tempel, Jr. He has served as the United States Army Chief of the Dental Corps, Commanding General of the U.S. Army Western Regional Medical Command. He has earned many leadership roles and been awarded many times for excellence in service to his country.

The meeting closes with our dinner with friends in celebra-tion of the conferrence of Fellowship. It promises to be a full evening with good food and dancing. Follow me onto the dance floor to free your spirits.

Finally, join me in congratulating the new Fellows to the College. We hope your experience here will further your commitment to excellence in dentistry and society.

From your Board of Regents and myself, Mahalo

Richard F. Stilwill President

Registration 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Hawaii Ballroom Foyer

Special Ethics Course (SE-1) 8:00 a.m. – Noon “The Ethics of Excellence” Lanai Room Frederick G. More, DDS Toni M. Roucka, RN, DDS, MAExcellence is one of the four core values expressed in the ACD’s mission statement and is accepted as integral to the practice of dentistry. Where ethics provides the reflective process for evaluating situ-ations and determining courses of actions, excel-lence is the manifestation of those actions. This term is often used and it means different things to different people. Excellence is more than just quality of care. Excellence is a way of being. This ideology delineates the important knowledge, competencies, values, and beliefs incumbent of a profession’s members in delivering health care to and being part of society thus fulfilling the social contract. In order to help those caring for patients gain a better understanding of this concept, this course will work to define excellence, distin-guish it from ethics and professionalism, and review the basis for it as an essential attribute of professional life. This course provides four hours of lecture-based continuing education (AGD PACE subject code 149) and is open to all dentists, dental students, educators and hygienists. A regis-tration fee of $190 applies. On-site registration for this course is not guaranteed. If on-site registration is available, the late registration fee will be $210. Cancellations will be accepted until 7:30 a.m. the day of the course. Cancellations may be sent by email to [email protected]. No refunds will be issued once the course has started. On-site registration will be held from 7:30 – 8:00 a.m. the morning of the course in front of the Lanai Room.


8 ACD 2018


Following completion of the course the participant will be able to:

■■ Define excellence and distinguish it from ethics using available resources.

■■ Describe the basis for excellence as a distinct value of health care providers.

■■ Discuss the knowledge, skills, and values that encompass the ideology of excellence.

■■ Analyze and discuss cases that demonstrate the integration of excellence in health care practice.

Fellows Forum Special Session (CE-1) 1:00 p.m. ‒ 4:00 p.m. “Recognizing and Managing the Ethical Dimension of Dental Practice using Video Dilemma Cases “ Hawaii Ballroom – Lawrence P. Garetto, PhD Maui & Kauai RoomsThis special session of the Fellows Forum is designed to enhance the routine deployment of practical chairside ethics. An ethical dimension in the care environment is present each and every time an oral health provider interacts with a patient. There is never a situation when the ethi-cal dimension does not exist. Being willing and able to recognize ethical issues is the first step in the process of managing them. The American College of Dentists has part-nered with Indiana University School of Dentistry to produce an extended series of video case scenarios. This session will present some of these scenarios to stimulate discussion about common ethical issues in the care of dental patients. A model for decision-making considering the ethical dimension of care will be presented and used during discussion. The video scenarios are currently available for use by practitioners and schools at no charge. Strategies for facilitating discussions of ethical issues within practice environments will also be pre-sented.This course provides three hours of lecture-based continuing education free of charge (AGD PACE subject code 555). Pre-registration is appreciated but not required. This course is open to all oral healthcare providers.Following completion of the course the participant will be able to:

■■ Describe the ethical dimension present in the clinical care of patients.




■■ Develop a decision-making framework to address ethical concerns.

■■ Understand the four-box framework for identifying ethical is-sues in the clinical care of patients.

Regency Breakout Meetings 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.The Regency breakout meetings will immediately follow the spe-cial session of the Fellows Forum.

Luncheon & Section Awards Ceremony 11:30 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. The Allure of the Islands Hawaii Ballroom – Featured Artists: Molokai & Lanai Rooms Kawena Mechler and Henry Makua Reservations RequiredAs we honor our Section awardees, we will enjoy a local cultural perfor-mance brought to us by Kawena Mechler and Henry Makua, traditional Hawaiian artists.The hula dance has been around for thousands of years and has long been considered part of the allure of the islands. To understand the history of hula, you must first realize that there are many different dances throughout the Polynesian islands of Tonga, Tahiti, Samoa, and New Zealand, but hula is unique to the Hawaiian Islands. The history of hula includes two different forms of the art. They are Hula Kahiko (ancient hula) and Hula Auana (modern hula). Hula Kahiko was the way the ancient Hawaiians passed along their history. In 1874, Kalakaua became king, and during his reign the hula was performed in public forums. It was performed at both his 1883 coronation and an 1886 jubilee celebration. In 1893, the Hawaiian monarchy fell. It would be nearly 100 years before the hula again became a part of government celebrations. By the 20th century, Hollywood had infiltrated the Hawaiian Islands and that influence was not lost on the hula. Please enjoy this cultural exchange brought to you by the American College of Dentists as we celebrate all that is Hawaiian.

2018 Awardees

Ethics and Professionalism AwardThe Ethics and Professionalism Award recognizes exceptional contributions by individuals or organizations for effectively pro-moting ethics and professionalism in dentistry through leadership, education, training, journalism, or research. It is the highest honor given by the College in the area of ethics. The American College of Dentists recognizes our esteemed colleague, Dr. David T. Ozar as the 2018 recipient of the Ethics and Professionalism Award. The Ethics and Professionalism Award is made possible through the generosity of The Jerome B. Miller Family Foundation, to which our appreciation is extended.Dr. Ozar is regarded as the “father of modern dental ethics” and has been the driving force in curricular development of ethics coursework in a variety of healthcare settings. David T. Ozar, Ph.D., served with distinction as Director, Center for Ethics and Social Justice and Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Loyola University of Chicago until his retirement in 2015. Perhaps, no one has done more to advance the “ethics” mission of the Col-lege than Dr. David Ozar. He is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Loyola University Chi-cago where he taught ethics, professional and health care ethics, and contemporary social issues from 1972 to 2015. He also taught and lectured in Loyola’s schools of medicine, nursing, law, educa-tion, and social work. He taught professional ethics in dentistry in Loyola’s School of Dentistry from 1981 until the school closed in 1994, and has lectured and consulted for dozens of dental schools and dental professional societies since the 1980’s.He founded the American Society for Dental Ethics in 1987 and was its Executive Director until 2005. He was the founding editor of “Issues in Dental Ethics,” a regular feature of the Journal of the American College of Dentists and has authored numerous additional articles on dental ethics, professional ethics, ethics education, and contemporary social issues, including more than 30 essays on dental ethics with his co-author, Donald Patthoff, DDS, in the Academy of General Dentistry’s journal, Impact.The third edition of his book, Dental Ethics at Chairside, written with David Sokol, DDS, and Donald Patthoff, DDS, was pub-lished by Georgetown University Press in spring 2018. David is

William John Gies AwardThe highest honor the College can bestow upon a Fellow is the William John Gies Award. This award recognizes Fellows who have made broad, exceptional, and distin-guished contributions to the profession and so-ciety while upholding a level of leadership and professionalism that exemplifies Fellowship. The impact and magnitude of such contribu-tions must be extraordinary. The recipient of the William John Gies Award for 2018 is Dr. Allan J. Formicola. Dr. Formicola is Dean Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. Prior to com-ing to Columbia as Dean in 1978, he served in ascending order as Chairman of Periodontics, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Acting Dean at the New Jersey Dental School, now known as the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. He served previously on the dental school faculties at Georgetown University and at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. At Columbia, he is credited with moving the dental school into the contemporary world of dental education and expanding the school mission by creating a far-reaching community-based network of care known as the Community DentCare Network. The program dramatically improved access to oral health care in the underserved communi-ties of northern Manhattan – Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood. After his 23-year deanship, Dr. Formicola established the




Center for Community Health Partnerships, which eventually merged with the Center for Family and Community Medicine at the Columbia University Medical Center.Dr. Formicola has served in many national leadership positions, such as President of the American Association of Dental Schools (now known as the American Dental Education Association). Among a number of national demonstration projects that he operated, Dr. Formicola co-directed, with Dr. Howard Bailit, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation project entitled Pipeline, Profes-sion & Practice: Community-Based Dental Education, which assisted 23 dental schools in establishing community-based education programs and in increasing enrollment of underrepresented and minority students. Formicola and Bailit also co-directed the Macy Foundation project entitled New Models of Dental Education. He has published widely, over 85 peer reviewed articles and three books.Currently, Dr. Formicola is co-directing with Dr. Bailit a national strategic planning study on dental education, Advancing Den-tal Education: Gies in the 21st Century. The goal of the study is to formulate recommendations that will permit dental schools to strengthen their positions given a number of serious challenges impacting on the national system of dental education.Dr. Formicola received his DDS degree and an MS degree in peri-odontics from Georgetown University School of Dentistry. He has received numerous honors and awards for his accomplishments including the ADEA Gies Foundation Award for Vision—Dental Educator, ADEA Distinguished Service Award, the American Dental Association Presidential Citation, the American College of Dentists Outstanding Service Award, and the Harlem Hospital Second Century Award.Previous Awardees:1940 Peter J.

Honorary FellowshipHonorary Fellowship is a means to bestow Fellowship on deserv-ing non-dentists. This status is awarded to individuals who would otherwise be candidates for Fellowship by virtue of demonstrated leadership and achievements in dentistry or the community except that they are not dentists. Honorary Fellows have all the rights and privileges of Fellowship except they cannot vote or hold elected office. This year, there are four recipients of Honorary Fellowship.The first recipient of Honorary Fellowship is Mr. William (Bill) Oliver Butler, M.S. Recently, Mr. Butler retired as the Continuing Dental Education Director from the University of Texas Health Sci-ence Center San Antonio School of Dentistry after a 27-year career that was focused on advanced programs that were scientific and




evidence-based and would directly benefit the patients as well as the providers. He achieved national as well as international recognition while at UT Health San Antonio School of Den-tistry. Bill served with distinction as the Director of Continuing Dental Education and Alumni Affairs at UT Health San Antonio from 1994 to 2017. At the time of his retirement, he was the longest continuous director of a dental school Continuing Educa-tion (CE) program in the United States, having served four years at University of Missouri, Kansas City prior to accepting his position in San Antonio.In August 1994, Bill accepted the Director’s position for Continu-ing Dental Education at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio. Bill viewed his last position as the pinnacle of his professional career. Each year the CE Office provided more than 250 educational opportunities, registered over 12,500 partici-pants annually, and had an active database of over 117,000 dental professionals who had chosen San Antonio to provide them with their lifelong learning experiences, that speaks volumes for a school that was founded in 1970 and had a little over 4,000 gradu-ates at the time of Bill’s retirement. The CE program was nomi-nated for consideration for the prestigious Gies Award in 2016. Upon his retirement, UT Health at San Antonio School of Dentistry announced the establishment of a new endowment supporting dental research named in his honor. The William O. Butler Research Endowment will help finance various research projects for students and support other funded research areas. The second recipient of Honorary Fellowship is Mr. Kevin Earle, MBA, MPH. Kevin has been the Executive Director of the Arizona Dental Association since 2008. He is the former Executive Direc-tor of the Arizona Board of Dental Examiners. Before his move to Arizona, Kevin served as the Executive Director of the New Jersey Board of Dentistry and regulated several other categories of health care professionals, including the Board of Medical Examiners. He is a past president of the American Society of State Constituent Dental Executives. Kevin is regarded as an adroit analyst, strategist and administra-tor. He has earned the reputation as a passionate defender of trans-parency and integrity in public policy. In 2017, he was credited as the chief architect of a seven-year effort designed to restore

previously-rescinded Medicaid funds for emergency adult dental care. His plan not only restored coverage but also enhanced the treatment options available for a vulnerable at-risk population. He also championed legislation to expand legally-sanctioned functions of dental assistants and dental hygienists and encour-aged board of dentistry approved training programs for expanded function auxiliaries.Mr. Earle’s extensive work in the Arizona State Legislature year after year, advocating for public funds to help provide basic dental care to all adult citizens was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the Dental Mission of Mercy in Arizona. Under the aegis of the Arizona Dental Foundation, Kevin was responsible for securing American Dental Association-funded tuition reim-bursement for a Community Dental Health Coordinator program at the Rio Salado Community College in Mesa, Arizona. Finally, he chartered a mentoring program for young dentists in Arizona. The program is known as the Theos Program. Theos is an acronym for To Help Each Other Succeed and by all accounts the pairing of more seasoned dentists with newly minted colleagues has been an overwhelming success.The third recipient of Honorary Fellowship is Mrs. Connie F. Lane. Mrs. Lane has most recently served as the Executive Direc-tor of the Mississippi Dental Association (MDA). During her twenty-year tenure with the MDA, she has had the opportunity to develop numerous projects and programs designed to enhance the member-ship experience for Mississippi dentists. These projects have been in the areas of communica-tions, advocacy, community collaboration, lead-ership development, philanthropy and dental education.Connie has also served as President of the American Society of Constituent Executive Directors as well as distinguished service as a member on the American Dental Association Executive Direc-tor’s Advisory Committee. Connie was classically trained as a medical social worker and she served in this capacity prior to her involvement with dentistry. Her relationship with dentistry began when she accepted a part-time job with Donated Dental Services in Jackson, Mississippi. She transitioned from that position to work full time with the Mississippi Dental Association, becoming Executive Director in 2001. She is known for her strength of char-acter and clarity of purpose.Connie is a member of the American Society of Association Execu-




tives, the American Society of Constituent Dental Executives, and the Mississippi Association of Non-Profits. She has most recently served as a founding officer and on the advisory council for the Mississippi Oral Health Community Alliance Board as well as nu-merous state of Mississippi task forces related to oral health care, representing the Mississippi dental community. She is known by her colleagues as a “first responder” and when tragedy strikes Connie reconnects with her past as a social worker and comes to the aid of those affected. In the aftermath of Hur-ricane Katrina, she assisted affected dentists with the relocation of offices and homes while simultaneously providing meals and other necessities to the broader community. Connie notes that working with dentists and in the field of oral health through the years has been an honor and she expresses profound gratitude for the experience that provided many opportunities for professional and personal growth. The fourth recipient of Honorary Fellowship is F. Lynn Means, M.Ed. Lynn Means has served the Oklahoma Dental Association (ODA) since February 2006, first as Assistant Executive Direc-tor, and then as the Executive Director, begin-ning in 2009. During her tenure as Executive Director, the ODA has launched many success-ful programs. A few of those include the ODA Mentor Program, now in its fifth year, which pairs ODA members with OU College of Dentistry students in an effort to provide a structure for gathering opinions, providing guidance and support, obtaining answers to questions and strengthening professional bonds for new dentists. During her tenure, the ODA Leadership Academy was launched. This highly acclaimed statewide program was intended to develop future leaders in organized dentistry and educate them on the foundational keys to its success. Most notably, during Lynn’s first year as ODA Executive Director, the ODA launched the Oklahoma Mission of Mercy (OkMOM). When asked what she is most proud of professionally, it is definitely the OkMOM. She worked tirelessly that first seven months as Executive Director developing OkMOM’s many intricacies, top to bottom, that helped it materialize into the triumphant program it is today. Since 2010, OkMOM has provided over $11.2 million of donated dental treatment to well over 14,000 people in need. It is by far the largest healthcare-related charitable event in Oklahoma, bringing together over 2,000 volunteers from the dental commu-nity and beyond.

We realize our members primarily give because they love the College, they believe in our mission, and they like what we’re doing. The collective effort to further our mission is notable in that it is both broad and deep—the College is able to continu-ously cast a wide net in multiple arenas through the dedication and ongoing support of its Fellows.The College recognizes those who have contributed $5,000 or more as Gies Benefactors and those who have given $1,000 or more as Gies Fellows.
