IMPLANT TRIBUNENewly appointed AO president to lead academy in global initiatives By AO Staff A lan S. Pollack, DDS, a practicing periodontist in New York City, was appointed president of the Academy of Osseointegration (AO) at the organization’s annual busi- ness meeting, held in February in San Diego. He succeeds former AO President Russell D. Nishimura, DDS. “With the increasing use of implant dentistry, it has become evermore im- portant for practitioners to obtain the best possible information, independent of corporate influence and open to cri- tique and challenge from a variety of dentists and scientists across the spec- trum of dental disciplines and scientific background,” Pollack said. “This is what AO has always been about and what guides our path. We will con- tinue to pursue the best science available, and the best and most efficient and ethi- cal ways of translating that for our mem- bers, to provide the best possible clinical care for our patients.” Pollack has authored numerous publi- cations in dental literature and is a mem- ber of many organizations, including the American Academy of Periodontol- AD ogy and American Dental Association, among others. He currently owns a pri- vate practice in New York City. This year, the AO Board will implement a new strategic plan to guide the organi- zation in the coming years. It includes supporting research, promoting educa- tion and fostering interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary care. Dr. Alan S.
