THE EDITOR'S CORNER

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.

Diagnostic Tools for the Modern Clinician
Volume 49 : Number 11 : Page 681 : Nov 2015
New computer applications for the practice of clinical orthodontics - long a recurring theme in the pages of this journal - continue to amaze me. Although I jumped on the practice-management bandwagon early on, giving up my beloved pegboard accounting systems shortly after the first orthodontic computer software became available in the late 1980s and '90s, it took many more years before I finally gave in and adopted the programs designed to assist in performing cephalometric analysis, diagnosis, and treatment planning. I still have my tracing box, mechanical pencils, and cephalometric protractor, along with about a quarter-ton of tracing acetate, but these wonderful old tools have been relegated to the curiosity box. I confess to occasionally taking them out of the closet and doing a case workup the old-fashioned way, if for no other reason than mere nostalgia - much like the enjoyment I derive from driving a horse-drawn carriage now and then. In the modern age, though, computerized tracing and analysis have long since replaced the old manual diagnostic workhorses. In fact, given the development of intraoral scanners and virtual models, we don't even need our dental stone casts any longer. They still make excellent paperweights and conversation pieces, but there is no need to use them for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
