Rutgers’ Dr. Krystian Jarosz Wins Inaugural
Eugene L. Gottlieb JCO Student of the Year Award

The Journal of Clinical Orthodontics has recognized Dr. Krystian Jarosz from Rutgers University as the winner of the inaugural Eugene L. Gottlieb JCO Student of the Year Award, presented by American Orthodontics.

Dr. Jarosz was selected over 16 other students from schools around the United States in a competition judged by members of the JCO editorial board. His prize includes more than $8,000 worth of materials and travel from American Orthodontics, JCO and Dolphin Imaging & Management Solutions, as well as a presentation ceremony at the April 2016 AAO Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Born in Poland, Jarosz emigrated to the United States with his family at age 7. His interest in orthodontics grew from his own experience in being treated at Rutgers University.

The Student of the Year competition derived from JCO’s central mission to focus on the clinical side of orthodontics. JCO editor Dr. Robert Keim believed there was a gap in student recognition; most awards in the field are for research, with none for clinical excellence. The award is named after the journal’s founding editor, Dr. Eugene L. Gottlieb, and sponsored by American Orthodontics and Dolphin Imaging & Management Solutions.

The competition was held in two stages. Any orthodontic department in the United States was allowed to nominate one current student. Each nominee submitted a complete case report, two letters of recommendation and a personal essay. Three JCO editorial board members whittled the 17 nominees down to 12 finalists in November.

Each finalist was then given the materials from an unpublished case and asked to write a complete treatment plan, including all possible alternatives, within a two-week time frame. A wider group of JCO board members voted for the winner.

Exclusive Seminars to Precede AAO Annual Session
Reservations are now being accepted for the first Joint Orthodontic Conference sponsored by Motion View Software, the Andrews Foundation and Henry Schein Orthodontics. This event, held April 27–29 at The Point Orlando Resort, debuts the automated Six Elements module developed by Motion View, along with demonstrating other tools and strategies that can transform the work of attendees in their own practices.

At the event, Motion View will demonstrate the benefits of using its system, including Ortho Insight 3D diagnosis and treatment-planning software with other Motion View products for a complete in-your-own-office solution for automating 3D data capture, digitization, analysis, storage, sharing and printing.

Demonstrations will include how to use the Ortho Insight 3D software to create treatment plans with transfer trays for more precise positioning of brackets, to customize appliances such as retainers and aligners, and to create surgical guides for implants and surgical splints.

Dr. Larry Andrews will also present an overview of his Six Elements Orthodontic Philosophy. Other speakers will discuss the WALA Ridge, jaw surgery considerations, and the use of newly developed software for making the implementation of the 6E philosophy more readily accessible to orthodontists.
