ADA MEMBERS RETIREMENT PLAN The equity (common stock) portion of the ADA Members Retirement Plan is based on a separate account established by the Equitable Life fo r Group A nnuity contract holders who wish to have pension plan con­ tribu tion s invested in common stocks. This account started Sept 30, 1963, w ith a u n it value of $1,000. For technical reasons, the account was subdivided on a pro rata basis on June 30, 1969. On Jan 29, 1971, the u n it value of the subdivided account relating to plans of associations and certain other organizations—including the ADA Members Retirement Plan— was $1,708.49. The u n it value includes invest­ ment income and realized and un­ realized capital gains and losses, but does not include any invest­ m ent expense charges. The above chart illustrates how the u n it value has changed. Further inform ation about the plan may be obtained by w riting to the Trustees o f the ADA Members Retirement Plan, Box 2470, GPO, New York City 10001.

REVIEW COMMITTEES SET IN 36 STATES CHICAGO: A survey recently released

by the ADA Council on Dental Care

Programs shows th a t 36 state den­ tal societies have established re­ view com m ittees for prepayment programs. Of th is total, 19 are in actual op­ eration. Twelve of the latter com m it­ tees operate at the state level only and three at the local level only. The remainder operate at both state and local levels. In addition, 15 of the state re­ view groups provide fo r review of dental cases under Medicaid. Three states show th a t the Medic­ aid review is performed by another comm ittee; in e ig ht states there is no review procedure for Medicaid; and in seven there is no dental cov­ erage under M edicaid. According to ADA policy, review com m ittees should “ provide fo r the review o f reasonable differences of opinion between a th ird party agen­ cy and a d e n tist.” Committee fu n c ­ tions are defined as “ to determ ine the relevancy of the usual, custom ­ ary, and reasonable fees, of treat­ ment procedures to the terms of the contract, and may include assess­ ment o f q u a lity of services ren­ dered.”

SLATE JOURNALISM CONFERENCE IN APRIL Three ADA assistant ex­ ecutive directors w ill be among speakers during thé Journalism Con­ ference to be held April 19-20 at the ADA Headquarters Building in Chicago. The Conference is spon­ sored by the ADA Council on Jour­ nalism. The trio, and th eir topics, are Bernard J. Conway, legislation and legal affairs, “ Legislative Proposals for National Health Programs” ; Viron Diefenbach, dental health, “ Progress o f ADA Task Force and Its Com m ittees” ; and C. W. Gilman, education and hospitals, “ Report on Student ADA Conference.” CHICAGO:

Others on the program w ill in ­ clude Ridgely Flunt, associate edi­ tor and feature writer, Chicago Trib­ une Sunday Magazine (topic to be

selected); Leland C. Hendershot, ADA editor, “ A Look at Dental Edit­ ing and Reporting” ; and Glenn E.

RELIEF FUND DRIVE ONLY 7 3 % OF GOAL Quotas in the 1970 ADA Relief Fund campaign have been met or exceeded by only four con­ stitu e n t societies, Thomas O’Con­ nell, chairman of the ADA Council on Relief, reported. C ontributions through Dec 31 showed sligh tly more than $91,000 —thus reaching only 73.2% of the $125,000 goal. Doctor O’Connell re­ m inded members that one of the conditions fo r returning all relief funds to a constituent society is m eeting or exceeding its quota. Funds contributed are matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the Association. As o f the end of last year, only Hawaii, Illino is, Nebraska, and North Dakota are assured of re­ ceiving fo r th e ir benefit all relief funds contributed. Doctor O’Connell thanked all members of the ADA who already have made co ntributions to the 1970 Relief Fund. CHICAGO:

ADA MEMBERSHIP AT RECORD HIGH ADA m em bership soared to a record high as o f Dec 31, to ta l­ ing 113,213 as compared w ith 112,067 at the end o f last year.

URGES EDUCATIO NAL ASSISTANCE ACT CHANGES

CHICAGO: S ignificant changes in the Health Professions Educational As­ sistance Act—the present five-year Act w ill expire on June 30—have been proposed by the American As­ sociation of Dental Schools in a let­ ter to E lliot L. Richardson, Secre­ tary of HEW. Among the proposed changes are that: 1. The federal share of construc­ tion costs for schools should be in ­ creased from $300 m illion in 1972 to $500 m illio n in fiscal 1976. 2. The annual maximum award for every student fo r all health pro­ fessions should be increased from $2,500 to $3,500 fo r both loans and scholarships. 3. Special project grants based on enrollm ent increases, innova­ tive curriculum revision, and other factors should be expanded and a l­ so included in a separate authori­ zation. 4. Institutional base grants in each school year should be boosted from $25,000 fo r every school to $50,000 for all professions covered under the current legislation. In ad­ dition, schools of m edicine, dentis­ try, and osteopathy should be reim­ bursed $5,000 per student on the basis of total enrollment, and no enrollment increase should be re­ quired in the institutional grant fo r­ mula. Also, no institutional grants should be less than those awarded in the previous year. 5. An institution with an ap­ proved project for creating a new dental school should also be e lig i­ ble for a grant of $10,000 per new first-year student fo r the firs t year of operation, and $5,000 fo r each additional first-year student in the next three years.

6. An institutio n with an ap­ proved project for either construc­ tion of a new school of dentistry with a m inim um of 100 first-year students or expansion of an existing school with a m inimum increase of 25 first-year students should be e li­ gible for a federal grant of $200,000 per new first-year student. 7. One-time planning grants of $20,000 for each anticipated firstyear student should be available fo r new dental schools.

D ENTAL CHANGES TO M EET NEEDS

ATLANTA: A department head at Emory U niversity’s dental school told approximately 50 leaders in Georgia dentistry that the challenge to provide health care as a basic human right has led to important changes in the dental school cur­ riculum . As one of ten faculty speakers at a recent conference on dental edu­ cation and the changing health scene at Emory’s dental school, Bibb Huffstutler, chairman of the department of comm unity den­ tistry, pointed to recent curriculum changes which focus greater atten­ tion on the d entist’s role in society, such as more training in the be­ havioral sciences, greater emphasis on extramural teaching programs, and courses on dental manpower problems, new health legislation, and preventive methodology. He added that community den­ tistry is a new concept that can be recognized “ every tim e you take part in a program like Head Start or testify in favor of water flu o ri­ dation, or when you provide dental care for geriatric patients or take part in surveys to determine the ex­ tent of dental disease.” Alfred K. W illiams, chairman of operative dentistry, described den­ tal curriculum changes which are being adopted to meet the needs of the decade as part of a trend “ to get away from teaching-oriented in ­ stitutions and go toward learningoriented institutions. We’re trying to create the attitudes and environ­

According to George H. Moulton, dental dean, “ we’re making an ef­ fo rt to get the private practitioners of dentistry involved in the prob­ lems of dental education.”

JAPANESE D ENTISTS TAKE US COURSES

Dallas : A special continuing edu­ cation course fo r 44 Japanese den­ tists was presented by the Baylor University College of Dentistry dur­ ing January. The visitors, touring under the sponsorship of the World Council of the Academies of General Den­ tistry, were guests of the College for instruction in American dental techniques and procedures. Faculty members of the dental

school—using an interpreter and visual presentations, including closed-circuit television—gave lec­ tures on undergraduate and grad­ uate teaching programs in such facets of dentistry as prosthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics, and operative den­ tistry. Accompanying the group were Hidekazu Ohba, chairman, and Sanataka Fukumochi, general sec­ retary and vice-president, of the Japanese Academies of General Dentistry. The Japanese dentists’ tour of the US also included instruc­ tion at the UCLA dental school. Jack T. Clark of Fort Worth, sec­ retary general of the World Council of the Academies of General Den­ tistry, and Jack B. Snowden, Fort Worth Academy president, were o fficial Texas hosts for the group.

Pictured is the proposed School of Dentistry Building, University of California, San Francisco, which will contain 298,500 gross square feet for department offices, student class laboratories, classrooms,

clinics and supporting facilities, and a postgraduate education center. Construction of the structure is expected to start in 1972, with completion scheduled for January, 1975.

SAN FRANCISCO PLANS NEW DENTAL B U ILD IN G

FRANCISCO: A new $29 m illion structure w ill be b uilt to house the University of California dental school in San Francisco. Construction of the seven story, 298,000 sq ft fa c ility is scheduled to begin in 1972 and is expected to be completed in 1975. Financing of the new building w ill include 65% from the federal government— which has been approved but not yet funded—and 35% from the state of California. In making the announcement, Ben W. Pavone, dean of the dental school, said th a t “ for the firs t tim e in many years, the UC school of den­ tistry in San Francisco w ill have adequate fa c ilitie s fo rte a c h in g , pa­ tie n t care, and research.” He added that the current total enrollm ent of 380 should increase to more than 700 during the next decade.

san

Ten buildings He noted that present depart­ ments and sections of the dental school are spread over 24 different floors in ten different buildings on the San Francisco campus. Several

of these structures are due to be de­ molished in the near future. The University already has ac­ quired a site for the building and allocated funds for schematic and working drawings. Dean Pavone lists overcrowded conditions, obsolescence, and in­ efficiency in the dental clinics as primary reasons for the new b u ild ­ ing. He said that “ according to mod­ ern standards, our dental clinics are inadequate, inefficient, and lack privacy for both the patient and staff alike.”

Survey estimates He pointed out a recent survey which estimates that in California in 1975 there w ill be more than 95 m illio n decayed teeth, 10 m illion cases of periodontal disease, and 5,000 cases of oral cancer. He added: “ With more than 95% ofthepopulation suffering some manifestation of dental disease and with only 45% of the population receiving some dental care, the need for additional dental manpower becomes obvious.

“ It is safe to assume that the de­ mand fo r dental care w ill increase at an alarm ing rate during the next ten years. Reasons for th is include rapidly expanding prepaid dental programs; increasing participation by local, state, and federal govern­ ments in dental welfare; and the imminence of a national dental care program.”

Program expansion More extensive dental fa c ilitie s w ill perm it expansion of special teaching and patient care programs, such as: —early detection and treatm ent of oral cancer. —diagnosis and treatm ent of handicapped children, including the blind, deaf, m entally retarded, c le ft palate, and those having cere­ bral palsy or muscular dystrophy. —a 24-hour dental emergency service to serve the comm unity bet­ ter. Dean Pavone said that the den­ tal school w ill cooperate with the educational branch of the Dental Health Center in San Francisco as a testing fa c ility for modern methods of teaching.

w ill not cooperate, there’s little any doctor can do to keep him healthy. He characterized the coming trend in health care as one of pre­ vention rather than cure, noting that people today say, “ I am pleased with my longer life . . . but what can you do to keep me well?” Doctor M illis said th a t most health professionals are not ready to answer th is question, although the dentist is better prepared than some to teach the patient how to take care of him self because much of his education concerns the task of care and prevention. The real challenge of keeping the masses well, Doctor M illis pointed out, lies in total health care education fo r the patient and the health professional. Now th a t everyone is talking about the need for cure and care, a national health concept is called for, but Doctor M illis warned that such a concept m ust not be rigid. F lexibility has to be the most im ­ portant element of any new system so that it w ill be open to m od ifica ­ tion over a long period of time. Doctor M illis ’ address was the second annual Lister H ill Lecture, which highlighted the alumni group’s 19th annual meeting.

S T U D EN TS RESPOND TO C O M M U N IT Y NEEDS

Richm ond , va: A new com m unity pre­ ventive dentistry program involving about 70 dental and dental hygiene students from Virginia Common­ wealth University got under way in Richmond in January. The p ilo t program at the Fulton Center for the Richmond Com m uni­ ty Action Program (RCAP) began with instructions in the importance of toothbrushing and the use of den­ tal floss. The dental school’s program is a response to a need voiced last sum­ mer when the neighborhood advi­ sory com m ittee for the RCAP Fulton Center asked fo r help in coping w ith dental problems of the area’s 2,000 school-age youngsters—m ost­ ly black.

Working in teams of four, the students w ill provide participants in the program with medical and dental histories and c lin ic a l exami­ nations at the center to determ ine numbers of m issing and decayed teeth, and make notations of den­ tal com plaints, and indications of plaque form ation.

Primary emphasis The primary emphasis is on in ­ struction in dental disease and its control, and instruction in self-care and evaluation of self-care. Special

attention is called to plaque form a­ tion. Youngsters are taught how to brush th eir teeth and how to use dental floss on a regular basis to prevent plaque form ation. According to Dean Di Biaggio, the preventive dentistry program for RCAP offers the dental students a learning experience and the satis­ faction of service. For the children, it offers the opportunity to develop at an early age habits necessary for good dental health. For some of the youngsters, the RCAP program is th eir firs t contact with the dentist.

Prevention important “ The future of the dental profes­ sion lies in prevention, and not in therapy,” Doctor Di Biaggio added. Although on the national level there is a ratio of one dentist to every 2,000 people, in Virginia the ratio is one dentist for every 2,800. Since the demand for dental care is escalating, the emphasis is on pre­ vention of dental disease rather than on treatm ent, Doctor Di Biag­ gio said.

New direction This new program represents a new direction fo r the School of Den­ tistry at the Medical College of Vir­ ginia, and John A. DiBiaggio, den­ tal dean, foresees that dental stu­ dents in the future w ill spend about 15% to 20% of th eir tim e in com ­ m unity service each year. “ A program like th is one for RCAP helps the student develop a sensitivity to comm unity problems and offers the school a chance to perform a service,” Doctor Di Biag­ gio said. The 70 students who volunteered to spend Saturdays teaching pre­ ventive dentistry—they include 15 seniors, 22 juniors, 23 sophomores, and 9 dental hygiene students— rep­ resent a third to a h alf of all MCV students who are eligible to volun­ teer.

phoenix , ARIZ: An o ffic ia l of the American Dental Association has called on Congress to appropriate expanded loan and scholarship funds for dental and m edical stu­ dents to assure the health of this nation. Carl Laughlin, ADA president­ elect from Clarksburg, WVa, said that such funds are sorely needed if the profession is to keep pace with the p u b lic ’s demand for care. In Phoenix to participate in the annual session of the Arizona Den­ tal Association, Doctor Laughlin said th a t “ fa ilu re to provide ade­ quate funds for student loans and scholarships w ill further worsen the already c ritic a l situation facing the m ajority of dental students who re­ ly on loans or scholarships to carry them through dental school.” He added that the students’ f i ­ nancial problems werecompounded by the worsening fin an cia l p lig ht of dental schools. “ Unless there is a considerable increase in govern­ m ental and private support fo r den­ tal education, 10% of the nation’s dental schools may be forced to close,” he said. Doctor Laughlin noted th a t Arizo­ na does not have a dental school and students must take th e ir tra in ­ ing out of state. “ This means that these students are paying even more for th e ir education since out-ofstate students usually pay higher tu itio n than students who are resi­ dents of the state where they are en­ rolled.” Presently, 112 Arizona residents are enrolled in dental schools, with one th ird attending dental schools in C alifornia. Other states which have Arizona dental students are Il­ linois, Tennessee, Kentucky, M is­ souri, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.

The California Den­ tal Association has voiced its oppo­ sition to the $140 m illion decrease in C alifornia’s Medi-Cal program— the state’s version of Medicaid— and has joined the California M edi­ cal Association in filin g a suit. According to R. Neil Sm ithwick, CDA president, the decreases re­ flected in the 1970-1971 budget were “ ill-considered” and would de­ prive the needy of vital dental ser­ vices. The jo in t suit aims to de­ clare the Medi-Cal budget cuts in ­ valid. Doctor Sm ithwick said the CDA’s position is that: —lim itin g dental care to v irtu a l­ ly emergency treatm ent w ill serious­ ly lim it treatm ent offered Medi-Cal patients and only serve to worsen the Medi-Cal fisca l problems when the program is resumed. —health care providers have been “ jarred” by the late attem pt by Gov Ronald Regan to bail out a “ sick” Medi-Cal program. Dentists are alarmed over the “ shameful re­ d uctio n ” of dental care available to C alifornians on Medi-Cal. —the dental health of the two m illio n Medi-Cal recipients w ill be adversely affected.

Doctor Sm ithwick said further that the health professions are con­ cerned about the lack of dentists and physicians in poor neighbor­ hoods, and have been encouraging health practitioners to establish in these areas. Even now, he added, some dentists with large Medi-Cal practices have had to close their o f­ fices. He said that lim iting dental ser­ vices is a “ crippling blow” to den­ tis try ’s efforts to u tilize preventive dentistry which can bring the most savings to the taxpayers.
