Two faculty members of the University of Nebraska Medical Center College<\/p>\n

of Dentistry, located in Lincoln, are the first recipients of the D.H.<\/p>\n

Reinhardt Scholar Program.<\/p>\n

The recipients, who were awarded a joint $4,500 scholarship, are Laura<\/p>\n

Iwasaki, D.D.S., Ph.D., assistant professor and Jeffrey Nickel, D.M.D.,<\/p>\n

Ph.D., assistant professor, both of the Department of Growth and Development.<\/p>\n

The programs goal is to develop faculty expertise in emerging technologies<\/p>\n

that will further advance their research goals and ultimately improve dental<\/p>\n

care. It enables faculty to visit world-renowned laboratories to master<\/p>\n

new techniques and develop collaborative strategies.<\/p>\n

A scholarship will be awarded to a recipient every two years.<\/p>\n

The endowed scholarship program was established by the family of the<\/p>\n

late Dale Hiram Reinhardt, D.D.S., a member of the first graduating class<\/p>\n

of the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry in 1919. Following graduation,<\/p>\n

Dr. Reinhardt established a dental practice in Bayard, Neb., and later<\/p>\n

in Scottsbluff, where he served until his death in 1961.<\/p>\n

The Reinhardt family said the program epitomizes Dr. Reinhardts legacy<\/p>\n

of striving to find new ways to solve problems. Dr. Reinhardt, who also<\/p>\n

was a farmer, hunter, fisherman and stamp collector, strove to develop<\/p>\n

new methods to improve efficiency and effectiveness not only in dentistry,<\/p>\n

but in life.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Payne, D.D.S., UNMC assistant dean for research and F. Gene<\/p>\n

and Rosemary Dixon Endowed Chair in Dentistry, said Drs. Iwasaki and Nickel<\/p>\n

will apply and share new information and use this new information in grant<\/p>\n

applications to support their research activities.<\/p>\n

Drs. Iwasaki and Nickel are hard-working, creative clinician-scientists<\/p>\n

who conduct clinically-relevant research, Dr. Payne said. Their research<\/p>\n

will lead to a better understanding of biomechanical aspects of the jaw<\/p>\n

and orthodontic tooth movement and, ultimately, to better patient care.<\/p>\n

Drs. Iwasaki and Nickel will use the scholarship to work on various<\/p>\n

projects, including one that involves researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic<\/p>\n

Institute in Troy, N.Y., and the University of Zurich in Switzerland. The<\/p>\n

two will spend a month at the University of Zurich where they plan to conduct<\/p>\n

experiments with collaborators at the Clinic for Masticatory Disorders<\/p>\n

and Complete Dentures, Center for Dental and Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial<\/p>\n

Surgery.<\/p>\n

The research team, through computerized models, is trying to understand<\/p>\n

why osteoarthritis occurs in the jaw joints and why it generally occurs<\/p>\n

10 years earlier than in other joints like the hips and knees.<\/p>\n

The planned experiments at the University of Zurich will involve collecting<\/p>\n

information about the jaw anatomy and the jaw function of individuals to<\/p>\n

test the accuracy of the models that we are currently using, Dr. Iwasaki<\/p>\n

said. Our hope is that these computer models can be developed into clinically<\/p>\n

useful tools — tools that in the future could predict potential problems<\/p>\n

and help to prevent and treat osteoarthritis of the jaw joints.<\/p>\n

Dr. Nickel and I feel extremely grateful to the Reinhardt family for<\/p>\n

its generosity and foresight in recognizing a way to support the research<\/p>\n

community and potentially enrich the general community here in Nebraska<\/p>\n

and beyond.<\/p>\n

The program was established by D.H. Reinhardts children: the late Richard<\/p>\n

C. Reinhardt, D.D.S., Lewis K. Reinhardt, of Scottsbluff, and daughter,<\/p>\n

Susan Reinhardt Bailey of Omaha; and grandson, Richard A. Reinhardt, D.D.S.,<\/p>\n

Ph.D., of Lincoln. Richard C. Reinhardt, and Richard A. Reinhardt, both<\/p>\n

of whom graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Dentistry<\/p>\n

in 1949 and 1972 respectively, later served in the senior Dr. Reinhardts<\/p>\n

dental practice. Dr. Richard A. Reinhardt currently serves on the UNMC<\/p>\n

College of Dentistry faculty in surgical specialties.<\/p>\n
