Discovery
Discovery means to gain knowledge through observation, study, or search. This issue of Dental Images
highlights the work we do in the dental school to
advance the science of our profession and to engage
our students in discovery on a daily basis.
As the graduates featured in this issue transition
into the world of clinical practice they are poised to
discover things about themselves and the work they
do that they could not understand a few short months
ago. They will discover their potential as oral health
care providers, their value to society, and the expectations that their patients have of them as they engage
in their daily work. Most importantly, they will
discover their responsibility as a professional.
Another feature of this issue is an interview with
an alumnus who has discovered an ability to lead
and to take on awesome responsibilities. I doubt
that Dr. Kathy Roth knew she had this wonderful
leadership potential until it was discovered initially
through her involvement and activity at her local and
state dental societies. This discovered talent and her
boundless energy have finally emerged at the national
level as the second woman to assume the title and
responsibility as the President of the American Dental
Association.
The scope and quality of the discovery in dentistry
today is defined and determined by each dental school
and the people who work in them. Future discovery
in dentistry will only be as far-reaching and innovative
as the dental schools are capable of supporting. We
are called to support our profession and the dental
education which forms the basis for the future of
dentistry. By making sure our dental schools have the
resources and support they need, we ensure our legacy
of discovery will continue.

Research Helps Lift School to New Level
In the 1990s, a century after its founding, the Marquette University School of Dentistry was at a crossroads.
University administrators, were considering the grim possibility of closing the state’s only dental school.
Marquette
University School
of Dentistry is
widely recognized as one of
the finest and
most technologically advanced
dental education
facilities in the
world.
Today, more than a decade later, MUSoD is regarded
as one of the leading institutions for student research
opportunities among the 55 dental schools in the United
States. It is attracting record numbers of applicants for
both the four-year dental school program and for the
various graduate programs. And at a time when dental
faculty recruitment is the most challenging for all dental
schools, Marquette is busily recruiting additional faculty
members, all with experience in clinical or basic research
and the ability and willingness to mentor students.
Other evidence of the turnaround is the new dental
school building, which opened in 2002 and has been
widely recognized as one of the finest and most techno-
logically advanced dental education facilities in the
world. The new facility contains a dedicated area for
clinical research and faculty practice.
ENTER AN AGENT OF CHANGE
One of several catalysts for the dramatic change in
research at Marquette University School of Dentistry
has been Anthony M. Iacopino, DMD, Ph.D, who
came to the School in 1999 to serve as Associate
Dean for Research and Graduate Studies.
Marquette has a long history of clinical excellence
and graduating highly competent dental practitioners.
Orthodontic resident Dr. Marcus Neipresak
works on a research project
Dr. Iacopino was recruited to build on this tradition by
expanding the research programming and to nurture a
more consistent culture of scholarship among the faculty.
“The goal was to produce new knowledge for the
profession and develop national leadership that would
lead to product development through research and scholarship programs established for dental students, graduate
residents and faculty,” he says, adding: “I was expected to
be an agent of change for the school.”
Why the change from clinical training alone to training
plus research and scholarship?
“Dentistry had drifted too far from its roots,
and dental education nationally was languishing,” Dr.
Iacopino explains. “Its foundations must still be in science
and discovery. Our graduates must know more than
technical procedures. They must also be familiar with the
scientific method as well as be highly skilled clinicians,
and be able to apply new technology to patient care.”
Major Changes in Budget,
Infrastructure, Curriculum
MUSoD students present
their research findings at
the annual Research Day
poster session
Over the past seven years, Iacopino has helped introduce
new ideas and new ways of thinking. He has worked with
the administration and faculty in making major changes
in the school’s infrastructure and curriculum – and
exposing students to topics not traditionally included in
dental curricula.
“Before 1999, there was no formal internal budget nor
an identified infrastructure to support faculty research.

Graduate Residents Do Research at Greek Laboratory
When Gerry Bradley went to Ohio State University in 1994 to study
orthodontics, he met a colleague from Greece whose brother ran a
dental biomaterials laboratory at the University of Athens dental
school – “one of the best-equipped such labs in the world,”
says Dr. Bradley.
Today, as associate professor and program director of the orthodontics graduate program at MUSoD, as well as chairman of the
Department of Developmental Sciences, Dr. Bradley has leveraged
that friendship from graduate school and regularly sends his
orthodontics graduate residents to Athens to do weeklong
mentored research projects at the famed laboratory.

Dr. Bradley has been part of the Marquette faculty since 1995,
arriving at a time when the dental school was beginning to accelerate its focus on research at all levels. “Now that we’re emphasizing research more, the quality has increased enormously across
all of our graduate programs,” he says.
Every year, one or two residents take part in a weeklong project in
Athens, working with international research scientists on the testing
of wires, brackets or other orthodontic materials. Afterward, they
prepare their findings for submission to a professional journal.
Marquette provides funding for resident travel and personal expenses
and our Greek colleagues provide lab time, equipment and expertise.
Graduate residents – in endodontics, prosthodontics and advanced
general dentistry as well as orthodontics and dental biomaterials –
are given the option of writing a thesis or publishing their work in a
professional journal. Most prefer to publish their work.
“In the last two years, four of five orthodontics residents had work
published.” Dr. Bradley says. Ortho residents also work with Dr. David
Berzins, graduate program director for dental biomaterials, and an
assistant professor in the Department of General Dental Sciences. He
has been a prolific mentor for many of our past orthodontic residents
and provides invaluable expertise. In addition, with the recruitment of
Dr. Dawei Liu, PhD, who has established his own lab with an emphasis
on cellular biology and root resorption in particular, we see our
residents diversifying into other areas depending on their interests and
background. Some residents also work with Dr. Douglas Lobner, an
assistant professor of physiology and neurobiology, studying the
neurotoxicity of dental materials.

luncheon during the 2006 American Association of
Dental Research (AADR) annual meeting in Orlando
Cutting Their Teeth on Research
RESEARCH: IT’S NO LONGER JUST FOR FACULTY OR
GRADUATE RESIDENTS ANYMORE.
In a change from the way dental education used to
be, Marquette students have the ability to complete
significant research experiences as part of their fouryear education program. Supported by an Oral Health
Research Curriculum Grant from the National Institute
of Dental and Craniofacial Research, students are
exposed to research and scholarship topics not traditionally included in dental curricula. They are also
offered customized flexible schedules so they can elect
to take part in “hands-on” mentored research and other
scholarly experiences at local, national, and international sites. They can even earn certificates, or Master’s
and PhD degrees as part of their scholarly activity.
Seven years ago, only one percent of MUSoD students
engaged in research. Since then, the percentage of
students doing research has risen steadily; currently, 15
percent of students are conducting mentored research.
In addition, some have published manuscripts, begun
pursuing advanced training or advanced degrees
and are expressing increased interest in academic or
research careers, or both.
Helping to pique and support their appetite for doing
research is the Student Research Group (SRG) chapter,
Since Dr. Iacopino joined the faculty he has helped:
• Establish an institutional research budget to
provide seed money to promote school research
• Increase funding for travel so faculty, graduate
residents and dental students can attend national
meetings and present their research findings
• Establish funding for faculty development
programs, to give faculty the skill sets and training
needed to mentor students (Iacopino credits his
own professional development to good mentorship
and training)
• Develop new relationships within the broader
university, the Medical College of Wisconsin and
other Milwaukee institutions. One of the most
significant results of this collaboration is a twoyear program at the Medical College of Wisconsin
that trains Marquette dental faculty in clinical
research and scholarship.
Finding Funding – Dr. Iacopino credits the
university’s Jesuit administration and the School’s
dean, William Lobb, for supporting the effort. “Bill
Lobb’s been a great dean. He’s a hands-off leader
who lets his content experts develop ideas. He’s a
risk-taker. He supports his associate deans. And the
Jesuits have provided great support.”
·
Marquette University School of Dentistry
Marquette is the first
dental school in the
country to implement
a customized flexible
curriculum and a dedicated
research and scholarship
curriculum track that
specifically supports
dental student research
and scholarship, and
the first dental school
nationwide to develop
an interinstitutional
DDS-PhD program in
partnership with the
University of Rochester.
But the university and the school alone could not
bankroll the transition to the school’s new focus on
research. As part of the transition, Iacopino had to find
new sources of money. He helped secure federal grants
from the Department of Education, National Institutes
of Health and private foundations.
Over seven years, he has helped raise $3.5 million
toward supporting research and enhancing scholarship
at the school. These include an Oral Health Research
Curriculum Grant from NIH’s National Institute of
Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), to be used
for developing, implementing and assessing a dedicated
curricular track of continuous student research and
scholarly activity throughout the four years of dental
education. Funding was also provided by the US
Department of Education in the form of a grant from
the Fund for Improvement of Postsecondary Education
and used to support a wide array of faculty development
activities. These activities are designed to help promote
integrated biomedical and clinical content, researchoriented, evidence-based approaches to dental education,
and teaching methods emphasizing how to apply new
science and technologies to patient care using case
studies.
Curriculum – “We redesigned and streamlined the
curriculum,” Iacopino says. “We put students in the
clinic immediately their first year, instead of after their
second year. Now their learning is case-based, in addition
and MUSoD is one of the most active of 55-plus
chapters in dental schools in the United States and
Canada. All dental students are invited to join the
organization, although some choose to be more
active than others.
Some of the SRG activities include a semiannual
newsletter, Research Day, the Journal Club and Lunch
and Learn Workshops focused on research.
In addition to an annual national meeting of the
membership, SRG also meets annually in March with
the Wisconsin chapter of the American Association of
Dental Research (AADR). There, students hear from a
prominent local speaker and have an opportunity to
socialize with practicing community clinicians
and faculty.
The MUSoD chapter of SRG was honored recently by
the national SRG for having the greatest percentage
of participating members, highest number of new
members and for best newsletter. The chapter publishes
a newsletter two or three times a year. The editor, James
Roger, a third-year student, also serves as the chapter’s
science officer, and is president-elect of the national
SRG. He will assume office at the AADR Annual Meeting
in New Orleans in March.
to traditional lectures. Our third-year students are now
about a full year ahead of where third-year students used
to be. They know more procedures and more complicated procedures. And they understand the scientific
foundation behind their treatments.”
“Rather than all students following a rigid curriculum
in lockstep,” Iacopino says, “their curriculum is now
unique, flexible and customized. If they want to do
research, they adjust their schedules. For those who prefer
to pursue careers as community dentists, they become
sophisticated consumers of research. They’ll become the
early adapters of new technologies because they’ll understand technology and know how to integrate it into their
practice. They’ll be critical thinkers in addition to highly
skilled clinicians.”
For graduate residents, “we developed a common core
curriculum for both basic biomedical and researchoriented courses. They take them together, regardless of
specialty. We’re one of the few schools in the US with a
common core curriculum. Many schools struggled with
how to do this. By adopting a yearlong flexible schedule,
we’ve found a way to let residents get in and out of the
general core materials and still have time to do research
in their discipline. This core concept was highlighted
recently at the 2006 American Dental Education Association Symposium in Orlando, and we’ve been singled out
as leaders at other national meetings.”
OPPORTUNITIES TO ENHANCE THE DDS
Among the significant changes in the dental school’s
new curriculum is the opportunity it gives students
to pursue mentored research programs ranging from
one to three months during regular curricular hours.
Students may select a mentor from local, national or
international sites, and their efforts could ultimately
lead to their earning certificates, or pursuing Master’s
degrees and PhDs. At Marquette, that option includes
a unique inter-institutional DDS/PhD program with the
University of Rochester. That university does not have
a four-year dental school but does operate a graduate
dental facility within its medical school, and provides
continuing education for community dentists.
The program is designed to let MUSoD students spend
summers doing research in Rochester. Beginning in their
fourth year, they will complete all of their studies at
Rochester, where all preclinical and clinical work follows
MUSoD guidelines. Rochester also pays for their tuition
during the fourth year. At the end of that year, they will
earn their DDS from Marquette.
They complete the PhD program during the fifth or
sixth year, depending on the progress of their research.
Each of those additional years comes with a $20,000
stipend. Students must declare their interest in this
program by the end of the first year.
Research Expands at All Levels
“Although we’re regarded as a medium-sized school,
we’re now considered one of the top student research
institutions in our profession in the country,” he
continues. “Our school is also one of the most modern
and most technologically advanced in the United
States. Without lengthening the time they spend here,
our dental students spend up to a year doing other
things. They can get a certificate in gerontology, a
master’s degree, or do mentor-directed research projects
around the country and get excused from class without
compromising their clinical education. We’ve set up a
national network.”
He adds that Marquette “is the first dental school
in the country to implement a customized flexible
curriculum and a dedicated research and scholarship
curriculum track that specifically supports dental
student research and scholarship, and the first dental
school nationwide to develop an interinstitutional
DDS-PhD program in partnership with the University
of Rochester.
Student data indicates a continual increase in the
number of students involved in research and scholarship each year. Before MUSoD received the Oral
Health Research Curriculum Grant from NIH, an
average of four students participated in research and
scholarship each academic year. Since then, 12 students

“
The work we’ve been doing at the dental school has plaque control as its unifying theme. We’ve been
working on a novel intra-oral drug delivery system as well as a phosphate containing denture base
resin both of which aim to alter pellicle formation to inhibit pathogen colonization on these surfaces.”

Dental Science Assists Criminal Justice
Two mild-mannered, law-abiding members of the senior faculty
at MUSoD have long had a professional interest in violent crime
– especially assaults in which the perpetrator or the victim leave
behind bite marks that could be used as physical evidence at
a trial. Every year, hundreds of criminal cases involve human
bites. To link a suspect to a crime involves comparing remarkable
characteristics in the injury with the same remarkable patterned
characteristics in the dentition of the suspect.
Adjunct Professor L. Thomas Johnson and Associate Professor Thomas
W. Radmer are conducting a computer-assisted pilot study of six
characteristics of the human dentition, to begin building a database
that would let a crime analyst state scientifically the probability of a
bite mark being linked to a suspect. It would enhance the status of
tooth marks as evidence in convictions, much the same way patterns
found in shoe prints or tire tracks can sometimes link evidence to a
suspect and help confirm guilt or innocence.
Dr. Johnson, the principal investigator, developed the protocol for
the research project titled “Quantification of the Individual Characteristics of the Human Dentition.” Dr. Radmer is a co-investigator, along
with a student working toward a Ph.D in forensic odontology, Peggy
VanScotter-Asbach. They are mentoring six dental students who are
also helping in the research.
Also working with them is Daniel D. Blinka, a law professor at
Marquette, who teaches courses in criminal law, criminal procedure
and evidence. The project is endorsed by the Wisconsin Attorney
General, and the state Department of Justice (DOJ) has provided
two imaging specialists to ensure that the protocol for the computer
imaging they use conforms to the FBI’s Scientific Working Group on
Imaging Technology standards – an important consideration for the
future admissibility of the data, Dr. Johnson says.
Criminal Justice Backgrounds
In addition to having practiced dentistry, teaching and research,
both Drs. Johnson and Radmer have assisted medical examiners and
criminal prosecutors over the years.
Dr. Johnson is one of 94 board certified forensic odontologists in the
United States and Canada, and one of the two in Wisconsin. He is a

forensic consultant to the Wisconsin DOJ, whose crime laboratories
and Division of Criminal Investigation are working in partnership
on his research. In addition, Dr. Johnson has testified as an expert
witness in criminal cases over the years. In his 45 years of teaching
at Marquette, he has taught pathology, oral pathology, forensic
dentistry and fixed prosthodontics, as well as general dental
sciences, which he is currently teaching.
Since 1980, Dr. Radmer has served as a forensic dental consultant
for the Kenosha County Medical Examiner. A board-certified oral
surgeon, Dr. Radmer is also director of the predoctoral program in
oral and maxillofacial surgery at the dental school.
Probability Enhances Judgment
Bite mark analysis is a comparative science, not an exact science,”
Dr. Johnson says. “It involves an objective assessment of details and
subjective interpretation of the meaning of the details. It’s an art,
but then so is medical diagnosis. The development of a database
will begin to reduce subjectivity and establish the validity and
reliability of bite mark analysis.”
Dr. Johnson began working on the project about 18 months before
applying for and winning a one-year grant in January 2006.
He and his fellow researchers are currently applying for second-year
funding and in February 2007, Dr. Johnson will present a paper on
his findings to date at the annual session of the American Academy
of Forensic Sciences.

school year, 31 students during 2004-2005, 38
students during 2005-2006, and 48 students

In addition, there have been marked increases
in the number of students attending regional or
national meetings, acquiring national research awards,
publishing peer-reviewed manuscripts, and pursuing
certificates and advanced degrees. Students are
significantly more aware of alternative careers and are
expressing an increased interest in pursuing academic
and research careers, Dr. Iacopino says.
Changing of the Guard
Dr. Iacopino has stepped down from his position as
Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies,
·

and is helping recruit a successor for the job. This will
allow him to concentrate his efforts on maintaining the
new student programs that have been developed and also
allow him more time to get back to his own research and
scholarship. Once the new Associate Dean is on board,
Dr. Iacopino hopes to work with that individual to add a
more robust clinical research effort and encourage more
participation by the clinical faculty in such areas as
diagnostic imaging and epidemiology, in addition to
supervising some of the programs he has set up.
At conferences and conventions, people can’t wait to
hear what’s new at Marquette.
“Marquette is a mid-sized dental school,” he says, “but
that hasn’t stopped us from gaining national respect.
When left untreated, bacterial plaque on teeth or restorative surfaces
can promote chronic inflammation, which contributes to oral and
systemic disease. Among those exploring the challenge of chemical
plaque control is Associate Professor Andrew (Drew) R. Dentino, DDS,
Ph.D, whose work involves development of an intra-oral drug delivery
system designed to slow down or prevent colonization of pathogens in
microbial plaque. Dr. Dentino, a diplomate of the American Board of
Periodontology, is also program director of Periodontics at MUSoD.
“Mechanical methods – brushing and flossing – have gone about as
far as they can in controlling plaque formation,” he says. “The work
we’ve been doing at the dental school has plaque control as its unifying theme. We’ve been working on a novel intra-oral drug delivery
system as well as a phosphate containing denture base resin both of
which aim to alter pellicle formation to inhibit pathogen colonization
on these surfaces.”
Dr. Dentino working on
phosphate denture-base protein
pellicle composition
Salivary Protein Starts Process
He credits landmark studies on salivary protein functional domains
by Dr. Antony Raj Periathamby in the late 1980s and early ‘90s that
advanced knowledge of the three basic functional domains that appear
to be a part of most salivary proteins. There appears to be an enamel
binding domain, a natural antibiotic region and bacterial binding
domain to each salivary protein. Plaque formation starts with a salivary
protein coating on the tooth enamel surface.
“The molecular design for our intra-oral drug delivery system is
based on the concept of functional domains and selective release of
antimicrobials using synthetic peptides linked by different chemical
bonds. In essence, we chopped out the bacterial binding domain and
created a new hybrid peptide with a more breakable bond between
the enamel binding domain and the natural peptide antibiotic.”
To study the feasibility of their concept, Drs. Dentino and Periathamby used several types of chemical linkages and peptide fragments.
They mixed hybrid or control peptide, then exposed fluorescently labeled candida albicans cells and watched for leakage of the fluorescent
dye that would indicate permeability and cell death over time.
Phosphated acrylic blocks
are prepared for studies on
flexure strength
Grants Support Effort
Their data suggest that the control peptide has no deleterious
effect on candida while the hybrid peptide is causing cell permeability and death over the 10-hour period of the experiment.
They found similar results when they tested the hybrid peptides
against periodontal pathogens. The research has received funding
from the American College of Prosththodontics and the National
Institutes of Health, as well as internal grants from Marquette.
To show that the concept was not toxic to human cells, they
tested the material on human gingival epithelium and on gingival fibroblasts. In the first case, the hybrids, unlike chlorhexidine,
did not hinder epithelial cell growth and viability. They found
similar results with the fibroblasts.
The second challenge was to prevent biofilm from forming on
denture base surfaces. “Unlike the natural tooth and mucosal surfaces, the acrylic in dentures has no electrostatic charge, which
dictates a different pellicle formation compared with the natural
surfaces,” Dr. Dentino says. “The tissue side of the denture in
particular is susceptible to colonization by pathogens.”
To provide a binding site for the antimicrobial peptides, the
two researchers modified the resin by adding phosphate groups
(negative charges) in increasing concentrations and checking for
antimicrobial binding and inhibition of candida colonization of
these resins. They finally achieved success.
Currently, the researchers are testing denture base material for
premarket approval by the FDA, and biofilm formation studies
on the charged and uncharged surfaces in an attempt to better
understand what happens on a molecular level on these unique
surfaces. Dr. Dentino has applied for patents for the technologies,
and has begun discussion with companies interested in licensing
the materials.

translating that into our dental practices. We are on the
threshold of some exciting new developments in the oral
systemic relationships and this will encourage partnering
and working with our medical colleagues. It’s a great time
to be leading the ADA!
through the ADA Foundation. Not only is it
important to support the dental schools we have
throughout the U.S. with funding for faculty, scholarship and endowment, but the ADA is in a position
to drive innovations within the dental education
system, which our dental schools cannot. It is
critical that all of us understand the need to ensure
a strong, dynamic dental educational system for our
children and grandchildren and the unfolding of
“Our Legacy, Our Future” is an exciting beginning.
Dentists as a group tend to be giving and compassionate individuals and this major initiative of
philanthropic giving dedicated to our profession will
be significant for all of us to play a role.

some
of our
questions….

·
Q. What do you think are the biggest
issues facing dentistry today?
A. As I look at the issues of importance today, sadly,
many of those at the top have been there for years.
Access to dental care is somewhat of an overall umbrella
issue that blends over into many other areas of concern
for all of us, whether at the ADA or within each state.
Government funded programs to provide care for those
in need are simply under funded by state and federal
governments so the systems are not functioning well or
acceptable for patients or providers. Besides adequate
funding, the programs must find solutions for multiple
issues of concern. But within access we see “potential”
solutions being put forward which don’t necessarily
improve programs, such as changing scope of practice
for those on our dental team, increasing the number
of graduating dentists hoping this increase will bring
dentists into providing more care to the under-funded
programs, and uniquely designed clinical settings to
answer increasing care, sometimes using dental students
or foreign trained dentists to expand the capacity of
providers. The ADA is working very hard to put forward
multiple solutions to this complex problem of care for
those unable to access the current system.
Marquette University School of Dentistry
Future dental education is another concern at the
national level. We must invest in the education of our
profession to ensure a strong, quality education for our
children, grandchildren and all those dentists who will
oversee this great profession in years to come. The current
educational models we have throughout the US are in
a fragile condition - whether we talk about the faculty,
the physical structures of some schools, the cost of that
education, or the dynamic changes that need to be made
within the current curriculums. We must use technology
to improve the education our new dentists are entitled to.
The National Healthcare Information Infrastructure
is going to be an area of critical importance to dentists
throughout the country as well as dental schools and
all of us as individuals. As an electronic patient record
becomes a reality within the government and the medical
community, we in the dental profession will be using the
systems created as well.
The ADA is going to be dedicated to improving and
assuring improved oral health for the elderly population
and we have dedicated a strong commitment to programs
and projects to address eldercare over the coming years.
All of these areas are challenging and I look forward to
unfolding solid solutions, programs of value and certainly
appreciating the new science in our profession, then
3
A. I will be very committed to opening doors and
partnering with outside groups and organizations that
the profession has not always looked to for programs
and projects. Many of our medical colleagues and other
healthcare groups have an interest and concern for quality
oral health and as we try as the profession to put forward
solutions with solid actions for care, we need to recognize
the partnerships that would help us to reach goals of
improving care for those in need.
I have the opportunity to be the face of the ADA this
year and I would be proud to have our members as well as
those not currently in membership see a strong inclusive
voice who accepts the challenges before us and works
diligently to address those concerns.
I am creating an ADA taskforce to re-visit a comprehensive study overseen by Dr. Timothy Rose during
his term as ADA president. It was called the Future of
Dentistry Report. There are many recommendations
within that comprehensive report some of which we have
addressed and implemented, other areas I believe we still
could devote energy to. At this 5 year review, I believe we
will find areas within dental education as well as practice
that need to be considered for the profession.
Along with reviewing that great work, we will be
unfolding a National campaign for dental education

American Military Surgeons of the
U.S. in San Antonio, Texas honoring
leading female dental surgeons
serving our county
Q. What do you see as the role of
women in dentistry?
A. As the second female president of the ADA, I
am honored and thrilled to have the opportunity to
lead the association. Over the past decade, we have
seen more women enter the profession and a natural
progression into leadership roles will follow. We are
seeing more diverse leadership in state associations
and at the national level, which makes our voice
of dentistry strong and respected. Dentistry is an
outstanding professional career for women and as
their professional careers unfold, they will bring a
significant voice to leadership of dentistry.

Where are they now?
Marquette University
School of Dentistry
catches up with two
former deans to see
where life has taken
them since leaving
Milwaukee.
Russell Brown,
BA, DDS, MS
Dean 1970 - 1984
Dr. Russell Brown received a BA from Carroll College
before attending Marquette University School of Dentistry. He received his DDS in 1947 and then went on to
obtain his MS in Iowa in 1955. From the late 50s until
1970 he served at Chairman of Pedodontics and Chief of
Dental Services at Milwaukee Children’s Hospital. He
served as Assistant and then Associate Dean of the School
as well as Director of Dental Graduate Studies and Coordinator of Dental Research. From 1970 until 1984 he
served as Dean of the School of Dentistry.
Where did your career/life take you after leaving
Marquette?
I did a lot of traveling and visiting friends, playing golf,
and finally retired to Daytona Beach, Florida.
What is your fondest memory of your time as Dean?
The outstanding cooperation of faculty, staff, university
administration, dental alumni and the Wisconsin Dental
Association during the renovation of the dental school
and securing funds for operational support for the School
of Dentistry from the State of Wisconsin on a contract
for services basis. This was beginning of the on-going
relationships with the State.
What was your greatest challenge as Dean?
The major renovation of the school at the same time
conducting classes and clinic for the students. While this
was going on, we enlarged and upgraded the faculty and
staff and did a complete curriculum revision.
Any messages you want to send to graduates who were
students during your time here?
I am always pleased to read or hear about the contributions to dentistry and to society that our graduates are
doing. Please keep up the good work.
Ken Zakariasen, DDS, MS, PhD
Dean 1992 - 1996
Dr. Zakariasen served as Dean of Dalhousie University Faculty of Dentistry before
coming to Marquette in 1992. He received his BA, DDS, MS and PhD from the
University of Minnesota, a Certificate from the Advanced Management Program
at the Harvard University Graduate School of Business, and a MS in Organization
Development and Analysis from the Weatherhead School of Management at Case
Western Reserve University.
Currently, Dr. Zakariasen serves as Professor and leader of Public Health
Leadership, a new graduate program in the University of Alberta School of
Public Health. He previously served as Associate Dean and Professor in the
Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. He is also Professor in Health Policy and
Management and recently drafted the University’s four-year academic plan with
two other UA professors.
Where did your career/life take you after leaving Marquette?
We went to California for about a year and a half, then back to Sun Prairie,
Wisconsin, which I doubt we will ever leave. (We split our time between Sun Prairie
and Alberta). For about six years, I worked with dental professional organizations
before returning to academic life. During that time I had the opportunity to go back
to school at Harvard and Case Western Reserve universities, particularly in the area
of Organization Development, which has formed the basis for the rest of my career.
What is your fondest memory of your time here as Dean?
My best experiences at Marquette were working with great people, contributing to
the “Marquette Experience”, being part of a superb team that was instrumental in
saving the dental school from being closed.
What was your greatest challenge as Dean?
Overcoming the notion in the minds of many important constituencies that
Marquette School of Dentistry should be considered for closure, creating an exciting
vision of what the school could become and, with the help of many from the
University, the dental profession, and many others from government and the public,
getting the vision out and making it “stick”.
Any messages to graduates who were students during your time here?
You have graduated from a great School in a great University! I have no doubt that
you are doing well, and Marquette is a big reason for why you are doing well. Give
back generously to Marquette so they can continue to enrich the lives and careers of
current and future students, and ultimately their patients. And, never stop learning,
never stop getting better as a health professional and always be proud that you are a
Marquette alumnus!

Gifts to the Dental School Fund make an immediate
impact in our student, faculty and patient experience.
This year, gifts to the Dental School Fund are being used
to support a comprehensive technology upgrade in the
campus dental clinic. Once the funding is in place, this
project will result in digital radiography, electronic patient
records and an advanced 3-D dental imaging system.

School of Dentistry Honors
Henni Society Members
Dr. Bill Lobb presented commemorative bronze
medals to the three School of Dentistry supporting
donors who are members of the Archbishop John
Martin Henni Society. The Henni Society recognizes
donors of $1 million or more to Marquette University.
Of the more than fifty Henni Society level donors,
three—Judy and the late Robert Sullivan, Wayne Holt
and Delta Dental of Wisconsin—have directed the
majority of their giving to the dental school.
The origin of Marquette University can be
attributed to the Most Rev. John Martin Henni, the
first bishop of Milwaukee, who raised the funds and
petitioned the Jesuits to open a college. “The entire
Marquette family owes a debt of gratitude to Archbishop Henni for having the conviction and perseverance to see this University established,” says Dr. Lobb,
“likewise, we are grateful for the members the society
created in his name, who lead the way in our continued advancement as an institution. I’m excited for the
day when we can recognize one of
our own dental alumni in this group.”

For the past eleven years, I have come to know dentists in the state of Wisconsin and
around the country – now it is time to say good-bye. I have accepted a position at Loyola
University in Chicago as Assistant Vice-President for Mission and will start this coming
July. This job is filled with possibilities not because of what it offers but what you have
given me to bring to the position. Over time, I have been welcomed into your homes
and your hearts and for this, I humbly say thank you. I only wish I had the opportunity
to tell you in person but time does not allow that luxury to happen. Until the next time
our paths cross, please know of my continued prayers for you and your family.
God Bless,
Fr. Patrick Dorsey, S.J.
Chaplain of Marquette University School of Dentistry
