ARTICLE

Maxillofacial Prosthetics, Dental Oncology, and things esthetically pleasing.1

―Michael T. Kase, DMD

Birmingham, Alabama, United States of America

 

Day by day, a new scholar bridge between Birmingham, Alabama and Kyiv becomes more tangible. The cornerstone of this digital bridge was laid by Dr. Le and colleagues in 2020.2 Their highly productive collaboration and hard work made this transatlantic cooperation possible.3,4 The interplay between the players of a team of any profile is a key aspect of its success. That is why cooperation with Dr. Kase (Fig), from the same Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery as Dr. Le,2,3,5,6 became so important for the editorial board of the Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology.

FIGURE. Michael T. Kase, DMD―a new member of the editorial board.

Despite any circumstances, like pandemic7 and war8–11, the communication between professionals can show the tendency to grow. That is why we are so happy to feel the support of Dr. Kase in such a turbulent period as war time in Europe, and so proud seeing him the editorial board member of our journal.

 

Dr. Kase occupies several very responsible positions in his institution:

 

  • Associate Professor (from October 1, 2022), Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Section of Oral Oncology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, United States of America.

  • Assistant and Clinical Director of the Advanced Education in Maxillofacial Prosthodontics and Dental Oncology Fellowship.

The doctor Kase’s work interests cover two directions―dental oncology and maxillofacial prosthodontics.2,3,5,6,12–16 Thus, such a unique expertise will definitely help our journal to fulfill the gap in the direction of maxillofacial prosthetics17 as a key part of head and neck oncologic surgery.

 

Thank you for this opportunity!
