As I begin my tenure as the 22nd President of the American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, I wish to thank my prede‐cessor, Dr. Chuck Hasse, for leaving me with a College that is in such good shape. In fact, thanks to a phenomenal Board of Regents, outstanding and energe c commi ee members, and a wonderful home office staff, I am delighted to tell you that the College is arguably in the best posi on it has ever been.
A recent highlight was the 35th Annual Scien fic Conference and Exhibi on in Las Vegas last month. Featuring an un‐paralleled group of speakers, the mee ng a racted over 300 people and was heralded as being one of the best OMS mee ngs in recent history. As the primary role of the College is to provide high quality educa on for our members, there is no ques on we will deliver on that promise this year as well. As I write this message, the 2nd Annual Recer fica on Review Boot Camp is underway in Chicago. Over 70 of our members are a ending this highly regarded course and the feedback so far
is phenomenal. We are already planning for next year and I suspect that this course will con nue to grow as the number of surgeons recer fying increases. We also have hands‐on courses in TMJ arthroscopy and total joint replacement, facial cosme c surgery, and implantology as well as our second annual Aspen Mee ng in January, and the 36th Annual Mee ng next April in Fort Lauderdale.
Of personal importance to me as a Residency Program Director, we will be hos ng the 3rd Annual ACOMS Residents Mee ng in Philadelphia on November 8‐9. This program is designed to bring together residents from around the country to not only learn from excellent speakers, but also to discuss amongst topics of current interest. They also have the ability to present scien fic abstracts that get published in our official journal, OOOO as well as to present simple but interes ng case reports from their programs in a low‐stress, fun environment. Last year 73 residents represen ng 32 different OMS programs convened for this mee ng. ACOMS hosts and supports this mee ng because we feel strongly that these residents are our next genera on of surgeons and this (con nued on page 7)

President’s Message (con nued from page 1)investment in their future is an important one. As I said before, the primary role of ACOMS is to provide HIGH‐QUALITY educa onal opportuni es for our members at one or more of our wonderful mee ngs and courses, and I hope we are excelling in that role. It is my strong opinion, however, that this is not enough! I feel that we need to provide educa onal opportuni es in ways that can assist those surgeons that may not be able to a end one of these venues. The Commi ee on Public Rela ons, with the assistance of our affinity partners Medical Protec ve and Northwestern Mutual, will soon be star ng an expansion to this newsle er to include topics on risk management and financial planning, as well as independently wri en clinical reports that will provide CE credits. Finally, an online
component to the College will bring our mee ngs to you! An ini al trial of this concept at the Residents Mee ng last year was successful and we will be gradually incorpora ng this technology into our future mee ngs.
Towards that end, always remember that the College exists for YOU, our members. We encourage and want your ideas, your feedback, and your thoughts. Please don't hesitate to contact our home office with your ideas, or contact me at [email protected]. We love new ideas and strive to remember that "Educa on is Job One!"

Featured Abstract From www.OOOOJournal.net/Current:
Development of a new device for maxillary molar distaliza on with high pseudoelas c forces to overcome
slider fric on: the Longslider—a modifica on of the Beneslider
Ulrich J.J. Longerich, MD, DDS; Ma hias Thurau, MD, DDS; Andreas Kolk, MD, DDS, PhD
Objec ve: Skeletally anchored devices have been developed to distalize maxillary molars in class II malocclu‐
sion. NiTi springs with high pseudoelas c forces are required to overcome fric on and concomitantly create
ideal transla on force for molar distaliza on. We present a new maxillary molar distaliza on device (the
Longslider) genera ng forces of up to gf 600 (5.88 N).
Materials and methods: Six pa ents with class II malocclusion owing to maxillary excess were treated by
molar distaliza on. The required distaliza on path was laboratory set and delivered chair side.
Results: The device deac vated itself automa cally at the end of the distance in all cases without dental p‐
ping or any implant‐related complica ons. The average distal transla onal movement of the first molar was
0.81 ± 0.02 mm/mo.
Conclusion: Clinically, owing to the high pseudoelas c forces, the Longslider appliance was effec ve for
tooth transla on, genera ng constant pseudoelas c forces of 350 gf through the desired distaliza on path.
