Nihil Scribo Quod Non Scriptum Prius, Daniel L. Orr Ii, Dds, Ms, Ph.D., Jd, Md

AADEJ - The Communicator

The Editor-in-Chief reflects on his tenure, citing the Latin phrase, "Nihil Scribo Quod Non Scriptum Prius," which suggests humility in editorship.

He notes that the AADEJ was founded on the controversy surrounding advertising in professional journals, underscoring the importance of judicious dissent in advancing ideas. Gratitude is expressed to mentors like Dan Jenkins and colleagues such as Denise Maihofer and Mali Schantz-Feld. His editorial philosophy, which fostered written "hybrid vigor," resulted in the AADEJ receiving two recent ICD Awards for volumes …


Oral And Maxillofacial Pathology Case Of The Month, John E. Kacher Dds Oct 2025

Oral And Maxillofacial Pathology Case Of The Month, John E. Kacher Dds

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

This case concerns a 39-year-old female patient presenting with an asymptomatic radiolucency and spiking root resorption in the right posterior mandible (tooth #30). The patient delayed treatment for three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and fear of surgery. Upon return, the lesion had greatly expanded in size (approximately 22-by-17 mm), with increased root resorption. Surgery involved extraction of the tooth and thorough curettage of the lesion. Microscopic examination showed cellular tumor composed of plump spindle cells and interspersed psammoma body calcifications. The final diagnosis was aggressive ossifying fibroma, psammomatoid variant. Treatment typically involves complete local excision and curettage …


Three Cheers For Print!, Jillian Lacross Oct 2025

Three Cheers For Print!, Jillian Lacross

AADEJ - The Communicator

This guest feature argues that print magazines are a worthwhile and necessary investment for associations, focusing on the three pillars of expectation, engagement, and experience. Print publications establish trust because they imply an inherent vetting process; affluent consumers trust print magazines the most, and print advertisements are significantly more trusted than social media ads. Print provides a respite from digital fatigue, with Worldmetrics finding that readers spend an average of 41 minutes engaging with a printed magazine, far exceeding the 3 to 7 minutes typically spent online. Printed materials enhance retention, recall, and emotional processing, strengthening the association's brand. Ultimately, …

By emphasizing well-being and demonstrating healthy boundaries, new dentists gain respect and foster a more sustainable workplace for everyone, reinforcing that …

Mda Dental Pac: Why It’S So Important To You, James Mashni Dds

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

The MDA Dental PAC (Political Action Committee) supports the Michigan Dental Association’s (MDA) lobbying efforts on state legislation.

What’S In It For Us? Tell A Colleague, Christopher J. Smiley

AADEJ - The Communicator

AADEJ President Dr. Chris Smiley advocates for a reframing of volunteer organizations' focus from "What’s in it for me?" to "What’s in it for us?" to ensure viability. This change is necessary given the declining membership trends in organized dentistry, with the ADA’s market share approaching 50%. The AADEJ, operating with limited resources, concentrates on fundamental, mission-based services that benefit the collective community of dental editors and journalists.
