JULIE ELLIS
'Jews of the Far East"
•—•
Jerusalem . . . Napoleon
said that an army marches
on its stomach: It is equally
correct to say that the face of
a nation depends upon its
teeth. Yet, teeth have been
the most ignored aspect of
life in Israel. Although Is-
raelis have always shared
the general Jewish rever-
ence for medicine, they have
been indifferent to the prob-
lems of dental health. Their
stereotype of a dentist is of
somebody who can elimi-
nate a toothache, perhaps
with a filling and in ex-
treme cases, by extractions.
This national attitude
has been an immense chal-
lenge to the Hebrew Uni-
versity Hadassah School of
Dental Medicine, founded
by the Alpha Omega
Fraternity, which just cele-
brated its 30th anniversary.
For years the School has
fought a battle to defend the
nations teeth against
neglect. Even today it is
the only dental school in the
country that provides pre-
medical training in the
basic sciences needed for
modern dentistry, as well as
three years of clinical train-
ing. It is, also, the only
school with a program for
training graduates in var-
ious dental specialties. The
Hebrew University-Alpha
Omega Research and Post-
graduate Center, with its
many laboratories, pro-•
duces research which has
received international
acclaim.
Many of the 600
graduates of the School hold
key positions in dentistry
throughout Israel. Thus the
School is the pacesetter for
dentistry in the country, as
it insists on establishing
standards of excellence.
One of the highlights of
the celebration was an in-
ternational symposium,
"From Pioneering Dentis-
try to Modern Excellence."
Participants included top
clinicians and researchers
from America, France and
Israel. It is hoped that the
symposium, which is named
the Ino SCiaky Symposium,
in honor of one of the buil-
ders of Israeli dentistry, will
become a regular event.
