WDA Pyramids of Pride: Appreciation for a job well-done Page 15 May 2009 WDA Journal Lani Becker CAE, Director, Member Services lbecker@wda.org Within every community there are people who do that extra something that makes the community as a whole stronger, usually with little or no thanks. That extra something comes in many forms – community service, research, political activity, leadership, mentorship and lifetimes of giving. The dental community is no exception. Many within our community just keep giving. It’s time to recognize their contributions and show appreciation for what they have done by nominating your colleagues for a Pyramid of Pride Award. There are nine categories recognized through this program, with some having the potential for multiple and non-dentist recipients. Recipients receive a beautiful, crystal three-dimensional pyramid at a special awards dinner in their honor during the WDA House of Delegates Meeting in Stevens Point, Wis. on Nov. 13, 2009. If there’s someone you feel meets the criteria for any of the following categories, please submit a nomination form to the WDA by July 15, 2009. Visit the member benefits section of WDA.org for complete details. Award categories include: Lifetime Achievement Community Outreach Dental Care for Older Persons Media Awareness Media Relations New Dentist Leadership Outstanding Leadership in Mentoring Outstanding Service Political Action President’s Award of Honor The WDA gratefully acknowledges the underwriting of WDA Insurance Programs Inc. and The Dental Record – A Division of WDA Professional Services, for this program. March WDA Journal Correction It was brought to our attention after the March WDA Journal (containing a Dentistry Examining Board article) went out that public health dental hygienists and DEB members Nancy Rublee and Linda Bohacek are not currently under contract with the state of Wisconsin for dental public health services. Any dental public health service contracts they currently have would be under the local public health departments. Case study Continued from page 10 : 1) e 2) b A& Final Diagnosis Hemangioma Discussion Hemangiomas are relatively common benign proliferations of vascular tissue that occur mostly in mucosal or skin tissues. They may be present at the time of birth, or show up later on as flat or raised asymptomatic lesions. Some of the vascular lesions of the lips and oral mucosa that arise in adulthood may represent a focal reactive venous dilatations and proliferation referred to as Varix. Hemangiomas of the oral mucosa are usually raised and reddish, purple or blue. They blanch upon compression. Hemangiomas might histologically be made of large blood vessels (cavernous hemangioma) or small capillaries (capillary hemangioma). These vascular lesions may also be found in muscular or osseous tissues. Treatment may include use of sclerosing agents, surgical excision and laser therapy.
