o n t h e c o v e r :
For nearly a half century, New Jersey Dental School (lower right) has enriched the Newark environment by providing patient care and oralhealth education.
I n my first months as University President, I have focused on our institu-tional goal of accelerating success. My fervent belief is that we will meetthis goal in a timely manner.
I am encouraged by the commitment at UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental Schoolto create an environment of opportunity for their students. These future dentistswill have the support and training to achieve the highest standards of excellencein their chosen profession. An important corollary to this educational mission iscommunity outreach, in the hope that service to others will become a permanentpart of their professional lives.
This year NJDS introduced a fourth pipeline program — Dental Exploration— to attract young students from populations that are underrepresented in the profession of dentistry. This is only one of the efforts to ensure that an environment of diversity and inclusiveness remains a priority for the School. Oneexample of the dental school’s outstanding students is Erginio Fernandez, whowas among a select group of 10 dental students in the New York metropolitanarea to receive a National Hispanic Health Foundation scholarship.
This has been a year of many notable faculty achievements, as well. TheChronicle of Higher Education ranked the Department of Oral Biology’s faculty seventh nationwide for scholarly productivity among universities offering similarprograms. This is quite an accomplishment for a department that is only fiveyears old. And together the entire research faculty garnered nearly $3 million tocontinue developing new, innovative methods of diagnoses and treatments.
Congratulations are also in order to Dean Cecile Feldman on her appointment to the National Institutes of Health Council of Councils. This advisory body makes recommendations to the NIH director in support ofresearch that represents important areas of emerging scientific opportunities, rising public health challenges or knowledge gaps that deserve special emphasisand would benefit from collaboration among NIH institutes and centers.
I applaud all the dedicated people at NJDS for contributing to an environment of excellence. They have committed to the core values of thisUniversity, which help shape a better future for all they touch, and I look forwardto working with them as we meet the challenges ahead.

Our number one priority at New Jersey Dental School is to ensure that each
and every student receives an outstanding education in an environment of
opportunity: the opportunity to learn, to practice and to serve.
This past year we have greatly enhanced our environment by excelling in
the initiatives that define our mission — education, research, patient care and community
service. We continued to expand and upgrade our facilities, so students learn in the most
technologically advanced environment possible and live in a convenient and comfortable location.
We continue to create new educational programs, so students have a variety of options while
proceeding with their dental educations. And we continue to offer more opportunities than
ever before to participate in patient care and community outreach, so students become sensitive
to cultural and ethical issues, the community-at-large and their professional responsibilities.
The environment of opportunity that we have created and continue to foster is among the
reasons that New Jersey Dental School has become pre-eminent in the country. We are the
state’s only dental school; a responsibility that we take quite seriously. We take great pride in
providing oral health care and education for our residents, no matter what their ages or
socioeconomic backgrounds. I invite you to read this annual report to learn more about the
environment of opportunity that is so vital to our success and to the health and well-being of
those we serve.

ew Jersey Dental School (NJDS) is one of theeight schools that comprise the Universityof Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey(UMDNJ). Although an integral part of theUniversity, NJDS is a vibrant, thriving com-munity unto itself. Our school is a micro-cosm of the diverse region and state weserve; our students, faculty and staff havebackgrounds that are extraordinarily varied,yet we are united by the common goal of
helping to improve the lives of those we serve. Throughout the academic year, we come together to partici-
pate in a variety of activities: from our annual fall softball game—
faculty and staff vs. the incoming class—to our formal winter galaand our celebration of spring. By spending time together awayfrom classrooms and offices, we reinforce the collegial environ-ment that exists at NJDS. We work together to educate the nextgeneration of oral health care providers, scientists and leaders, inan environment that is extremely rich in opportunity.
Summer Retreat
After a one-year hiatus, we reestablished the tradition of holdingan annual summer retreat. The entire NJDS family gathered in theOral Health Pavilion in July to hear “The Hidden Curriculum,” atalk given by Dr. Marilyn Lantz of the University of Michigan andDr. Pamela Zarkowski of the University of Detroit Mercy. Mr.

NRichard Sweeney, university librarian at New Jersey Institute ofTechnology, presented his research on the Millennial Generation. In theafternoon workshops, faculty committees focused on the clinical cur-riculum, honor code and professionalism and ethics, while staff dis-cussed cultural diversity in the workplace.
“The retreat generated very valuable feedback and ideas that weare using as we move forward,” said Dean Feldman. “It is vital to oursuccess that we continue to look at ways to improve as educators andoral health care providers.”
Celebrating Longevity
The faculty and staff are the lifeblood of NJDS, giving their absolutebest every day. Many of our employees have been with the school
almost since its inception, so Dean Feldman implemented the firstService Recognition Program in December. Employees who reachedlandmark years of service received a certificate and pin, and the entireschool enjoyed a buffet luncheon.
A total of seven staff members have worked at NJDS for 30 to 35years, and six faculty members have been at the school for 40 to 45years. Although the focus was primarily on those with longevity, DeanFeldman told the gathering that every employee, even the newest, wasbeing honored. “Because of each of you, we are able to conductresearch, educate the next generation of oral health care practitionersand serve our community,” she said. “Never underestimate what youdo. Absolutely every job is vital to the success of our school.”

Sleeping Soundly
Our students now have the option of living in affordable,upscale University housing. A 234-unit apartment complexwas completed in August 2006 at 180 West Market Street inNewark. The new apartments provided the final buildingsneeded to enclose our campus and create a safer, quad-likeenvironment. Some 30-plus NJDS students currently live inthe new apartments.
The fully furnished studio, one-, two- and three-bed-room units have all the features that students who were sur-veyed said were most important: around-the-clock security,on-site parking and laundry facilities, and high-speedInternet connections. A beautiful lobby and outdoor terracehave become favorite gathering places.
“Most professional-school students have very hecticlives, but living in the student apartments really helps sim-plify my life,” says second-year student Ryan Galligan.“There are no worries about traffic, gas money, tolls or miss-ing class because of car trouble. The apartments have all theamenities I need to help minimize the stress in my life.”
University Welcomes New President
With a strong background in academic medicine, clinicalcare and research, William F. Owen, Jr., MD, began his dutiesas the fourth president of UMDNJ on July 1. Before comingto the University, Dr. Owen served as chancellor and vicepresident for health affairs at the Tennessee Health SciencesCenter in Memphis. He has 25 years of academic experienceat Harvard Medical School and Duke University, and spent12 years as a clinical and academic staff physician atBrigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
As a research scientist, Dr. Owen garnered some $10million in external funding and has published more than 200journal articles, 23 book chapters and two books. He is amember of numerous national boards and professionalorganizations and is currently serving as president of theRenal Education Foundation.
At the Forefront in Preparedness
In today’s age of terrorism, our school has taken the lead inpreparing for all types of emergencies. Our Emergency PlanOperation (EPO) was developed in 2005 and fits into theUniversity’s overall Emergency Preparedness Policy. Wehave been participating in evacuation drills on a regularbasis, and this year we conducted our first Shelter in Placedrill. This is declared in an external disaster and people areasked to keep the roads clear for emergency vechicles by

remaining in the building. During the drill, an incident command centerwas established, groups of people were safely moved to a shelter locationwithin the building, and our emergency communications were tested.
Fire drills and Shelter in Place drills are the first two phases of ourEmergency Plan Operation. The final phase, a Lock Down drill, is cur-rently being developed. A Lock Down emergency is declared when thereis an immediate threat of danger within the building, and everyone mustremain inside.
Leadership
The deans, directors and department chairs make up the NJDSAdministrative Council, headed by Dean Cecile Feldman. The deans areresponsible for areas such as education, clinical affairs, student affairs,finance, and research. They work together to ensure that we have anenvironment of academic excellence, fulfilling our mission of educatingpractitioners who provide the highest quality oral healthcare andbecome leaders in their fields.
In addition to their duties at NJDS, Administrative Council mem-bers belong to various professional organizations and often hold electedand/or appointed positions. This year Dean Feldman was appointed to

Extraordinary Educators and Mentors
Our faculty members are the heart and soul of our institution. Theyengage in innovative research, are published in prestigious, refereedjournals and have written numerous monographs, book chapters andbooks. Many have private practices, and they regularly volunteer inthe community, providing dental services to those who would nototherwise have access to oral health care.
First and foremost, however, they are dedicated, enthusiasticteachers, who demand the absolute best from their students. Our out-comes data, including board passage rate, clinical licensing examresults and placement into postgraduate programs were outstandinglast year. For Part I of the National Board Dental Exam, our numericscores put us eighth in the nation. Our clinical Northeast Region
Board (NERB) exam results continue to top others in the region, with100 percent of our students passing by graduation. And once again,we had 100 percent placement of our fourth-year students into post-graduate programs of their choice.
It is no surprise then that our professors are continually beinghonored for their commitment to providing the best education possi-ble. In 2007, two professors in the Department of RestorativeDentistry received Excellence in Teaching Awards from TheFoundation of UMDNJ. They are Asha Samant, DMD, MEd, MSc,associate professor, and Nicholas Conte, DMD, assistant professor. Atotal of eight NJDS faculty have been inducted into the Stuart D.Cook, MD, Master Educators’ Guild since its inception in 2000. The2007 inductees are Louis DiPede, DMD, assistant professor,
JDS is a national leader in dental educa-tion. We have created an environment richin educational experiences, on campus, inthe community and across the country.Besides learning clinical skills, our stu-dents become sensitive to the cultural andemotional needs of their patients, and theyleave NJDS ready to serve their communi-ties and continue to strengthen the statureof dentistry.
The Best and Brightest
The Class of 2011 attests to the reputation that NJDS has earned
as one of the top dental schools in the nation. The 87 entering stu-dents were chosen from 1,946 candidates, the largest applicantpool in the school’s history. They hail from across the country,and the class’s combined overall GPA, science GPA and DentalAptitude Test scores are the highest of any incoming class in theschool’s history.
Along with attracting some of the nation’s best students, wecontinued our commitment to enroll qualified underrepresentedminorities. Of the 87 class members, nearly 31 percent is Asian;about 4 percent is Hispanic; and upwards of 6 percent is black.And 20 of the newest students participated in Gateway toDentistry, our pipeline program for underrepresented college students interested in dentistry.

Dr. DiPede is an NJDS alum and has beenan assistant professor and course director since2001. He has lectured on prosthodontics acrossthe U.S. and in Canada, and is a member ofnumerous professional organizations, includingthe International Society of MaxillofacialRehabilitation, Northeast Gnathological Society,and the American College of Prosthodontists.
Dr. Zweig earned his dental degree fromNew York University and began at NJDS in1970 as a clinical instructor. He is now a pro-fessor, with research interests in orthognathicsurgery, dental implantology and pain con-trol. His professional memberships include,the American Association of Oral andMaxillofacial Surgeons, American College ofOral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, AmericanAssociation of Hospital Dentists and theAmerican Dental Society of Anesthesiology.
NJDS Goes Global
American dentists now practice in one of themost ethnically diverse countries in theworld: About 100 million people — or onethird of the population — are from racial andethnic minorities. And that trend, say CensusBureau experts, is expected to continue.
Today’s dental practitioners must under-stand the specific health care needs of all com-munities and be sensitive to the cultures andbeliefs of every patient seeking care.
Our students are being prepared to doexactly that. Besides working in a diverse envi-ronment on campus, in the community andacross the country, our externship programexpanded in 2007 to take students’ multicul-tural experiences a step further: across the seas.We launched an exchange program withTrinity College School of Dental Science, inDublin, Ireland, after several years of across-the-pond negotiations. Trinity students JohnMadden and Sarifah Al Rashaid — a Kuwaitistudying in Ireland — spent two weeks rotat-ing through the NJDS departments performing
certain procedures in areas of their choice. Inexchange, NJDS seniors Maria Ambio andChris Connors spent two weeks in Dublin inAugust, participating in case conferences andobserving in clinics and classrooms.
Arnold Rosenheck, DMD, assistant deanfor hospital affairs and institutional develop-ment, initiated the discussion with Trinity, andKim Fenesy, DMD, associate dean of StudentAffairs, and Ms. Jeanette DeCastro, director ofAcademic Advisement and Student Support,put the program into place. Students’ travelexpenses were offset by a grant from theInternational College of Dentists.
“In today’s shrinking world, with somuch strife and misunderstanding amongpeople, the exchange of students in health pro-fessions will help create a bridge between dif-ferent cultures,” says Dr. Rosenheck. “And,students are able to appreciate that there ismore than one way of doing things.”
This year we also welcomed our firstInternational DMD class. The program isdesigned for qualified dentists educated out-side of the U.S. and Canada, who plan to pursue a dental career in the U.S. or return totheir countries with additional skills. Weintentionally limited the inaugural class toonly 11, however, the entering class of 2008will be filled to capacity, with 16 students.
The class completed a rigorous three-month summer program of preclinical labsand didactic summary courses that broughtthem up to speed before joining the tradition-al third-year students in thefall. “Not many people getthis opportunity,” says GeenaPadayattil, who earned a den-tal degree in India. “Eventhough it is hard work, it’svery satisfying to know thatwe are getting closer to ourdream. “

Advancing Academics
Our academic offerings continue to grow andgain in popularity. The first matriculatingstudent enrolled in our Oral Biology PhDprogram in 2007, and we have a total of 14Master of Oral Biology students who comefrom as far away as Cyprus, Taiwan, Brazil,Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Onestudent from India, Raashi Khatri, receivedthe only graduate oral biology scholarshipawarded in the entire country.
Our implant program, which has pre-doctoral and postgraduate components, hasdramatically grown in the last few years. In2007, more than 500 implants were placedand are being restored. This is an increase ofnearly 200 implants placed over those in2005. That means all of our DMD studentswill now have implant experiences beforethey graduate. Only a handful of schools inthe country are able to offer their studentsthis opportunity.
Another Pipeline
First there was Decision for Dentistry andGateway to Dentistry, and now there isDental Exploration, a new pipeline programdesigned to attract underrepresented sev-enth- and eighth-grade students to dentistry.The two-part program was developed andimplemented by Ms. Nadege Dady, MS, Ed,director of Educational Programs inAcademic Affairs, and Rosa Chaviano-Moran, DMD, assistant professor ofCommunity Health and director ofMulticultural Affairs, in collaboration withScience Park High School in Newark.
In Phase I, NJDS students — includingone Science Park graduate — visited theschool for an hour-long panel discussionwith the teens. Phase II brought a smallergroup of interested Science Park students tocampus, where they heard an oral healthpresentation and participation in a hands-onproject in the NJDS clinic. The program was ahuge success and is continuing in 2008. n

ommunity service is an integral part of what weare and all that we do. Students, faculty and staffroutinely participate in health fairs, health educa-tion programs and oral health screenings, fromearly detection and prevention of oral cancer todetection and prevention of caries and periodontaldisease. They teach nutrition and proper oralhygiene, distribute toothbrushes, toothpaste andfloss at schools, nursing homes, community andcultural centers, churches and halfway homes in
and around Newark and throughout New Jersey. And, theytravel across the country providing services to those who do nothave access to regular oral health care, and several have even
gone to distant lands to perform much-needed cleft palate surgeries.
“Helping others is a hallmark of the dental profession; it isthe most significant way we can give back to the community,”says Dean Feldman. “We have created an environment of serv-ing at NJDS, with the goal of instilling in students a lifelong com-mitment to helping others who need it most.”
Helping Special Olympians
Every year in June, we join in the spirit of winning at the NewJersey Special Olympics Summer Games, and 2007 was noexception. As part of the Special Olympics Special Smiles pro-gram, NJDS volunteers perform dental screenings, provide oral
A n E n v i r o n m e n t o f S e r v i n g
hygiene and nutritional instruction and fabricate mouth guards. In2007, we served more than 600 special athletes at the Summer Gamesheld on the campus of The College of New Jersey.
James Delahanty, DMD, EdM, clinical associate professor inDiagnostic Sciences, is the clinical director of the NJ Special OlympicsSpecial Smiles program. “Special Olympics provides year-roundsports training and athletic competition to more than 2.5 million peo-ple with intellectual disabilities in more than 180 countries,”explained Dr. Delahanty. “Special Smiles is designed to increase theathletes’ awareness of the importance of good oral health, with thegoal of improving their ability to train and compete in the New JerseySpecial Olympics.”
Giving Kids a Healthy Smile
Once again, we participated in the Give Kids a Smile program, anational event sponsored by the American Dental Association. Theprogram focuses attention on the epidemic of untreated oral diseaseamong disadvantaged children. We have been a part of the programsince its inception in 2003.
In 2007, we saw a total of 1,104 school children, 775 on theNewark campus and 329 at the Galloway, Northfield and Somerdaleclinics. A total of 180 NJDS students, faculty and staff, and staff andstudents from UMDNJ-School of Health Related Professions (SHRP)volunteered on the Newark campus.
Caven Brunsden, DMD,’79, statewide chair of the event, esti-mated that more than 2,000 kids were seen throughout the state. He

helped out on the Newark campus, and the chil-dren enjoyed a visit from the Tooth Fairy, playedby Carolyn Breen, EdD, CDA, RDA, RDH, pro-fessor and chair of SHRP’s Allied DentalEducation. Debra Goldsmith, RDH, MA, assis-tant professor in Community Health, coordinatedthe effort. “This event is especially importantbecause many of the children do not have accessto regular oral health care,” says Ms. Goldmith.“For many of the kids, it’s their first lesson in oralhygiene and nutrition, so we want it to be a posi-tive experience.”
A Day at the Zoo
Families who visited Essex County’s Turtle BackZoo on Children’s Dental Health Day in April gota special treat: Along with seeing the animals,they could participate in interactive exhibits, playcarnival-style games and do arts and crafts, allwith a dental theme. Some 50 NJDS students andseven faculty members were on hand to distrib-ute toys, toothbrushes, toothpaste and informa-tion on proper oral hygiene and nutrition. Theirparents and other adults could engage in briefdiscussions on prevention and early detection oforal cancer and take home pamphlets on thatimportant subject. “The goal of our day at the zoois twofold,” says Ms. Goldsmith coordinator ofthe event. “We want to reach as many people aspossible with information on oral health care, andwe want to create an environment in which chil-dren can have fun while they learn.”
Preventing Oral Cancer, One Screening at a Time
Every year thousands of Americans die of oralcancer, yet it can be detected in the early stageswhen it is most curable. NJDS has long been adriving force in the education, early detection andprevention of oral cancer. Our school was amongthe founding members of the Oral CancerConsortium in the Northeast, a group of organi-zations and educational institutions that worktogether to raise the public’s awareness of the dis-ease and promote early detection through routineoral screenings.
Each year, we offer free oral cancer screen-ings in April, in conjunction with the Essex
County Cancer Health Fair. The University com-munity and the public are invited, and in 2007more than 200 people came for free screeningsand information on preventing the disease. Post-graduate students and faculty volunteered theirtime to perform the screenings, and staff mannedregistration tables and distributed informationand dental care products. Dental hygiene stu-dents from UMDNJ-School of Health RelatedProfessions also participated in the event.
“In addition to our screenings every year,we partner with the county and the state on otheroral cancer initiatives,” says Arnold Rosenheck,DMD, associate dean for hospital affairs andinstitutional development. “Dean Feldman hascommitted our school to participating in pro-grams with the goals of prevention and increas-ing the five-year survival rate and the cure ratefor people with oral cancer.”
A New Oral Health Education Program
Children who regularly spend time at the Boysand Girls Clubs of Newark, Westside Unit, werethe first to participate in a pilot program lastspring, designed by Ms. Nadege Dady, MS, Ed.Six NJDS students from the Classes of 2007 and 2008, volunteered to help with the program.Geared to children ages 6 to 9, the Oral Healtheducation program consisted of a presentationand an interactive demonstration on proper oralhygiene. The children then each received anapple with a cavity (a hole) that they filled, justlike the dentist. The program ended with eachchild receiving a certificate of participation dur-ing a graduation ceremony.
Ms. Dady presented a second program atthe Boys and Girls Club Broadway Unit in thefall, and has designed and will present programsto children at other Boys and Girls Clubs who are10 to 12 years old.
Reaching Out to Our City
Throughout the year, our students and facultypresent programs to children of all ages atschools, community centers and churches in andaround Newark. Among the most active in com-munity outreach are members of the Department

Asha Samant,associate professor of Restorative Dentistry,and Ms. Nadege Dady, MS, Ed, director ofEducational Programs in the Office ofAcademic Affairs, also support these pro-grams. Along with many other faculty mem-bers, these volunteers work tirelessly to spreadthe word that proper oral hygiene and regulardental check-ups result in better overall healthand, therefore, a higher quality of life.
Reaching Out to the Nation
Ten members of the Class of 2008 spent a weekof their summer vacation in August providingdental care to members of the Hopi IndianNation in Polacca, Arizona. Their trip was madepossible through the generosity of the NewJersey Dental School Alumni Association, theNew Jersey Dental Association and many pri-vate, equally generous, financial contributions.
Under the supervision of three facultymembers, the students were able to attend tothe needs of 178 patients by providing morethan 400 dental procedures. They performedroot canal treatments, extractions, restorationsand periodontal/preventive therapy.
The faculty members who participated areJames Delahanty, DMD, EdM, clinical associateprofessor, and Gary Vitaletti, DMD, associateprofessor, both in the Department of DiagnosticSciences, and Ms. Debra Goldsmith, RDH, MA,assistant professor of Community Health.
Reaching Out to the World
Shahid Aziz, DMD, MD, associate professor ofOral and Maxillofacial Surgery, has been help-ing people in foreign lands for five years. Hebegan in 2003 with a trip to Ecuador to performcleft lip and palate surgeries, but in 2006 begangoing to Bangladesh, where he says the need iseven greater than in South America. Last year,he again traveled to Chuadanga, and Sirajgonj,Bangladesh with a team of dentists and
physicians. Together they were able to repair 76cleft lip and palate deformities.
Over the years, members of his teamshave included Vincent Ziccardi, DDS, MD,chair and associate professor of Oral andMaxillofacial Surgery; Frances Devonshire,RN, oral surgery nurse, Oral and MaxillofacialSurgery; NJDS oral surgery residents, andphysicians from UMDNJ-New Jersey MedicalSchool. Dr. Aziz coordinated the 2007 trip withthe Impact Foundation Bangladesh, with fund-ing from Smile Train, KLS Martin, StrykerLeibinger and New Jersey Dental School.
“There is a huge need for these types ofsurgeries in rural Bangladesh. There are proba-bly 150,000 people with clefts, and there areonly 10 surgeons in the country who do thesetypes of surgeries,” he says. “These tripsremind us of why we became doctors, and ourresidents find out how rewarding it is to helpthe global community.”
A Trip to St. Kitts
Our students seem to find community out-reach opportunities in almost everything theydo, even taking vacations. When Judy John-Roberts (‘09) invited her classmates to herbaby’s christening on her native St. Kitts, agroup of students readily agreed. As plans gotunderway, the sojourners decided to incorpo-rate community outreach into their trip. Underthe direction of Rebecca Reed, DMD, assistantprofessor of Community Health, and with thehelp of Ms. John-Roberts’ parents, who live onSt. Kitts, the students were able to spend a fullday at community centers there and on theneighboring island of Nevis. They distributedtoothbrushes and toothpaste and taught oralhygiene and nutrition to a total of 100 children.
“Many of our students enter dental schoolwith a history of giving that comes from theirfamily backgrounds,” says Dr. Rebecca Reed.“They enjoy combining community outreachwith their studies. This trip is just one moreexample of the many good things they do.” n

ast year began a new era in research at NJDS . Inonly five years, we have gone from receiving$500,000 in research funding for one year tonearly $3 million. We have also seen dramaticgrowth in the number of grant submissions andfunded researchers. In 2002, only nine NJDS fac-ulty were funded; this past year 17 receivedgrants.
We upgraded and expanded our facilities,as well, and conducted the first studies in our
new Clinical Research Center, the only one of its kind in the coun-try. The anaerobic and aerobic laboratories adjoin the operatories,which makes working there much more efficient, and samples no
longer need to be transported to other locations.We also opened our new Microscopic Imaging Center,
which has enhanced our research capabilities and is a resource forthe entire University. UMDNJ scientists can now perform trans-mission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, lasercapture microscopy, and fluorescence microscopy.
A World Class Faculty
Our mission of scientific exploration is accomplished only becauseof our outstanding faculty. They are exceptionally resourceful,highly motivated and excited about the work they do. Our OralBiology faculty is a prime example; they were among the most pro-ductive in the country, ranked seventh in the nation for scholarly
productivity in 2007 by the Chronicle of Higher Education. They also hadthe highest percentage of faculty getting new grants, at 46 percent; thethird highest percentage of faculty with journal articles cited by otherworks, at 85 percent; and the fourth highest total new grant dollars perfaculty, at $164, 987.
All members of our research faculty work diligently to find thecauses, treatments and, perhaps, even cures, that will ultimatelyimprove the oral and systemic health of those we serve.
Diagnostic Sciences
Every year, millions of people seek treatment for orofacial pain that isunrelated to dental problems. NJDS’s Division of Orofacial Pain — oneof only 11 in the country — is dedicated to caring for these patients and
finding more definitive methods of diagnoses and faster, more effectualtreatments. The division is headed by Eli Eliav, DMD, PhD, professor.Dr. Eliav, along with Gary Heir, DMD, clinical professor and clinical director of the Pain Clinic, and Richard Pertes, DDS, clinicalprofessor, and their 13 postgraduate students, explore methods thatwill lead to more definitive diagnoses and faster, more effective treat-ments.
Many clinical studies underway employ Quantitative SensoryTesting (QST) to measure and detect sensory and pain thresholds. “Oneperson with numbness in the lip may say it’s unbearable,” says Dr. Eliav.“Yet another, given the same stimulus, may report minimal complaints.We can now quantify the level of pain and sensation loss, using thermal,mechanical and electrical stimuli.”

Dr. Heir adds that they are differentiatinginflammation from nerve damage and centralnervous system involvement. “In patients withchronic pain, we can now determine if the causeis at the point where the pain is perceived or if itis emanating from within the nervous system,”he says. The scientists are using QST to diagnosea number of conditions, including atypical odon-talgia, or pain in a tooth that is not caused by anabnormality. This may save countless odontalgiapatients from being misdiagnosed and undergo-ing unnecessary dental treatment.
Burning Mouth Syndrome, or BMS, is thefocus of another study in which Dr. Eliav and histeam have made great strides. BMS causes burn-ing in the oral cavity — especially the tongue —unrelated to other diseases. Using QST, the teamwas the first to show BMS is caused by reducedactivity in one of the two main nerves in thetongue. The two nerves usually balance eachother, however in BMS, one nerve becomes lessactive, and the function of the other becomesmore predominant. There are medications thathelp restore the balance, but the researchers arelooking for more effective treatments.
Faculty members in other departments arecollaborating on the BMS research, including Scott Diehl, PhD, director of the Center forPharmacogenetics; Vincent Ziccardi, DDS, MD,and Barry Zweig, DDS, both in the Department ofOral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Gary Hartwell,DMD, Department of Endodontics; and LouisDiPede, DMD, and Robert Flinton, DMD, both inthe Department of Restorative Dentistry.
It has long been known that the anti-viralmedications used for HIV may cause musclepain, however no researchers have specificallyfocused on these patients’ facial pain. The teamdid, and they found that facial pain occurs muchmore frequently in HIV patients, and it is notrelated to their medication. It is now clear thatHIV patients’ facial pain is a separate entity andrequires specialized treatment.
The scientists are also looking at the nutri-tional and mental status of HIV patients, withRiva Touger-Decker, PhD, program director ofClinical Nutrition in Diagnostic Sciences, and
Karen Raphael, PhD, associate pro-fessor in Diagnostic Sciences andassociate professor in theDepartment of Psychiatry atUMDNJ-New Jersey MedicalSchool. They found that patients’nutritional and psychological needsare related to pain levels, andpatients should have a multidisci-plinary treatment team.
Oral Biology
Daniel Kadouri, MSc, PhD, assistantprofessor, who came to NJDS in2006, is experimenting with bacteriaknown to reduce biofilms. Mostbacteria found in natural or indus-trial settings survive in microbialcommunities, known as biofilms.Researchers are using biologicalagents against biofilms, and Dr.Kadouri’s lab is using the bacteriaBdellovibrio and Micavibrio. Theresearchers’ long-term goal is toharness the potential of these organ-isms to control biofilms.
In a separate study, Dr.Kadouri is investigating the role ofbiofilms in oral infectious diseases,such as periodontitis.
Gill Diamond, PhD, receivedadditional grant funds from theCystic Fibrosis Foundation andPolymedix, Inc. for his currentresearch focusing on the roleplayed by antimicrobial peptidesin protecting against bacterialinfections. “Our hope is that wecan use these results to add to thepresent therapies for cystic fibro-sis,” he says.
In a separate study, Dr.Diamond’s lab developed a mousemodel to study bacterial infectionsin the oral cavity. This researchmay help in understanding the natural ways humans protect

themselves from oral infectious diseases.Vincent K. Tsiagbe, MS, PhD, associate
professor, who came to NJDS in 2006, is study-ing the relationships among normal cells thatdefend the body against infections and theway in which those relationships are used forlymphoma growth. Another aspect of hiswork, funded by the Cancer Research Institute,is determining if viral genes can be “turnedon” in B cells.
A separate area of Dr. Tsiagbe’s researchinvolves examining the role of immune cells inthe development of gradual bone loss in peri-odontal disease.
Jeffrey Kaplan, PhD, is continuing his workon biofilm growth and detachment. More than 80percent of human bacterial infections are causedby biofilms, including caries, periodontitis,
endocarditis, and infectionsfrom medical devices. Thedetachment of bacteria frombiofilms is a process that is necessary for the spread of infec-tions to new sites. Dr. Kaplan’swork is expected to lead tonovel strategies for treatingbiofilm infections.
This summer’s Olympicsin Beijing will be more than aworldwide competition forScott Diehl, PhD, and his team;the Games will serve as theirlaboratory, as they investigatehow variations in genes mayalter the impact of air pollutionon the athletes. The professorand director of the Center of Pharmacogenomics andComplex Disease Research willwork with colleagues fromUMDNJ-School of PublicHealth and UMDNJ-RobertWood Johnson Medical School,along with the Chinese EPA andmedical scientists at PekingUniversity. The NIH and theHealth Effects Institute are fund-

Daniel H. Fine, DDS, continues to seeksolutions to the oral health care disparitiesamong populations in America. The chair ofOral Biology and director of the Center for OralInfectious Disease, Dr. Fine recently received a$3.4 million grant from the NIH’s NationalInstitutes of Dental and Craniofacial Researchto study Localized Aggressive Periodontitis orLAP, an oral infection that affects 70,000 chil-dren in underserved areas of the U.S. This is themost comprehensive study of its kind to ever beconducted.
Fine and his colleagues will screen 3,000healthy Newark school children for periodontaldisease, cavities and the presence ofActinobacillus actimomycetemcomitans (Aa). Onegroup of children will have Aa and one will not.Samples of saliva and dental plaque will be col-lected for analysis over a two-year period.

They are among onlya handful of researchers in the world studyingthis particular toxin.
The scientists developed a leukemia cellline that is light-producing by adding the genethat enables fireflies to light up. When theresearchers added leukotoxin to the luminescentmalignant cells, they lost their light, indicatingthey had died. This means leukotoxin mightbecome an alternative treatment in certainleukemias and lymphomas.
