Few individuals have contributed as much as the late Dr. Charles Burstone to the development of orthodontic biomechanics as a scientific discipline. To say that Dr. Burstone, who passed away in February at age 86, was a prolific writer would be a gross understatement. He published more than 250 journal articles, including many here in JCO, where he was an Associate Editor from 1979 to 2003. He was legendary around the world for his unequaled knowledge of the art and science of orthodontics. Although he has been eulogized frequently during the past year (see The Editor's Corner, March 2015), more reasons to celebrate his many accomplishments continue to surface.

THE EDITOR'S CORNER
Volume 49 : Number 1 : Page 9 : Jan 2016
This issue of JCO contains a very interesting and, in many ways, disturbing report on the indebtedness faced by today’s orthodontic students. Drs. Dawn Pruzansky, Brittany Ellis, and Jae Hyun Park, all of the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, surveyed 174 recent graduates and current residents in advanced orthodontic programs. Their aim was to ascertain not only the level of indebtedness the respondents have incurred in attempting to become orthodontists, but how that indebtedness has affected their personal career, practice, and lifestyle decisions. Although the results should not be surprising to most of us, they are still eye-opening with respect to what the specialty may look like in the years ahead.
