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.

Controlling the Vertical Dimension
Volume 51 : Number 7 : Page 375 : Jul 2017
The vertical dimension of the face, or facial height, is one of the more esoteric concepts in dentistry. The online Medical Dictionary defines it as "the linear dimension in the midline from the hairline to menton." Anterior facial height is rather self-evidently described as "the sum of upper and lower facial heights, the lower limit of the latter variously defined as the pogonion, gnathion, or menton. Posterior facial height is often measured from the gonion to the condylare, sella, or center of face point." The occlusal correlate of facial height is the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO).
