The Biomechanical Foundation of Clinical Orthodontics
Volume 49 : Number 10 : Page 620 : Oct 2015
The study of orthodontic biomechanics is a lost art. The scientific understanding of tooth movement has largely been replaced by commercial orthodontics based on simple wire sequencing and "magic" brackets. I think that if the recently departed Dr. Charles Burstone were still here, he would say that our profession has become a little lazy and forgotten the fundamental principles of mechanotherapy. Have we stopped asking ourselves, "What are my treatment objectives, and what specific steps will I take to get there?" or "How could this undesirable side effect be avoided?"

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.
