MASTER CLINICIAN
Volume 51 : Number 1 : Page 0 : Jan 2017
It gives me substantial pleasure to introduce my friend and colleague, Dr. Mauro Cozzani, as our current Master Clinician. A number of years ago, shortly after I was named Editor of JCO, I was invited to lecture in the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Ferrara, Italy. I eventually made several trips to Italy and, during the course of my visits, gained a deep appreciation for the country, its customs, and, especially, the people (not to mention the food and wine!). I met many highly capable orthodontists, but one who stands out as singularly impressive is Dr. Cozzani. In the years since I first met him, he has been a frequent contributor to the pages of JCO and other international orthodontic publications, having published more than 80 papers.
