THE EDITOR'S CORNER
Volume 51 : Number 5 : Page 257 : May 2017
Like almost every U.S. orthodontist, JCO maintains a Facebook page as one means of connecting with its customer base—in your case, patients; in ours, readers. The format doesn’t necessarily lend itself to dispensing clinical information, although we have recently begun posting helpful videos related to our published Pearls. We tend to get the most likes and shares from our monthly profiles of finalists for the Eugene L. Gottlieb JCO Student of the Year Award (the most recent winner was announced in the March 2017 issue), no doubt because of these students’ extended networks of relatives and colleagues. But the 50th-anniversary year of the journal has brought us an opportunity for a new and unique Facebook venture.

Restorative Materials in Orthodontics
Volume 50 : Number 6 : Page 0 : Jun 2016
Like most senior orthodontists, I've attended hundreds of lectures on both orthodontics and dentistry as a whole. I have always taken a special personal interest in lectures involving interdisciplinary treatment - cases requiring the services of multiple specialists, with the restorative dentist finally establishing an optimum result. The late Dr. Vincent Kokich was perhaps my favorite speaker on this topic. Among his many professional and personal talents, he had an extraordinary ability to see the big picture in complex cases and to provide exemplary orthodontic care as part of a multidisciplinary team. In the last presentation I attended by Dr. Kokich before his untimely death in 2013, he opened with a statement that will always stick with me: that of all of the things he had accomplished in his professional life, he was most proud of having become a dentist. This probably explains why Vince was one of the best interdisciplinary orthodontists I have known.
