Wm. Randol Womack, DDS
Editorial Director,
Orthotown Magazine |
The most observant subscribers of Orthotown Magazine
probably read the October feature article, “CBCT: Clinical
Applications in Orthodontics” – an original research/case report
from faculty of the orthodontic department at the Arthur A.
Dugoni School of Dentistry, University of the Pacific, San
Francisco, California. Publishing an article of this quality and
relevance from one of the premier orthodontic teaching and
research facilities is a testament to the increasing credibility that
Orthotown Magazine has established since its inception. We are
very appreciative that these distinguished authors chose our
venue for its publication.
Now, Orthotown Magazine is very pleased to announce the
formation of an Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) whose function
will be to assist in the review of future articles that will
be submitted for publication. This will establish the “peer
review” process that will add to the validity of the information
contained in the articles that will appear within the pages of
this publication.
Our Editorial Advisory Board provides an excellent mix of
academics and orthodontists “in the trenches.” I am pleased to
welcome the following professionals to our EAB. |
