By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON - The title Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is not normally connected with Zuni Indians and Alaska Natives. A knowledgable reader will recognize that an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a doctor of dentistry that has specialized in the treatment of jaw deformities and jaw alignment procedures that will allow the teeth to function properly when chewing and provide improved facial esthe-- I -- liCS. ; j' , " ' . i'' ZUNI Indians and Alaska Natives have little in common with this highly technical specialized field of medicine until you become acquainted with Dr. Warren V. Judd of 2575 N. 2800 E., Layton and you realize that this outstanding dentist has contributed 26 years of professional service to the Native American population. Because of his work with the Department of Health and Human Services. U.S. Public Health Service assigned to Gallup. New Mexico. Zuni. New Mexico, San Pedro, California and Anchorage, Alas-kDr. Judd was awarded the Public Health Service Commendation Medal. This high honor is given to very few Public Health officers. DR. JUDD, a native of Freedonia, Ariz.. attended Weber College in Ogden from 1951 to 1953. He graduated with an Associate of Science degree. He next attended the University of Washington in Seattle, graduating in 1958 with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. He accepted a dental internship as a commis- sioned officer in the U.S. Public Health Service at the PHS Hospital in Norfolk, Va. His interest in the American Indians developed while he was attending school. He had occasion to examine the teeth of Indian Placement students. a. ' ' ; ' ... His first assignment after completing extensive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery training was as Oral Surgery Consultant at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage, Alaska. He spent five years in Alaska. One Eskimo patient changed so much in appearance after Dr. Judd performed jaw bone surgery on him that the patient was not recognized by his grandmother. The adult Alaska Native looked better and was able to function better because of the jaw alignment that was created through Dr. Judd's expert surgery techniques. FINALLY CAME an eight year assignment as Oral Surgery Consultant at the Gallup Indian Medical Center in Gailup, New Mexico. During this time Dr. Judd became certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He obtained his private pilots license to facilitate traveling to dental clinics throughout the Navajo Indian Reservation to treat trauma patients. While working with the Zuni Indians. Dr. Judd instituted a large incremantal care program which resulted in all school children in the Zuni Service Unit receiving completed dental care. HE DEVELOPED a training program emphasizing patient anxiety control. Dr. Judd wrote two sections of a dental specialty manual on oral surgery and hospital dentistry that is used by all Indian Health Service dentists. Because of the remoteness of the Indian Reservations. Dr. Judd became an instructor in CPR. ORAL AND Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialty that can perform extractions of wisdom teeth, set jaw and cheek bones that have been damaged in an accident or assist the orthodontist by moving the jaw bone to bring the teeth in line with each other. Dr. Judd has become a leading expert in jaw bone surgery. Using a small, nitrogen powered saw that won't cut tissue or anything soft. Dr: Judd makes careful cuts in the jaw bone. This can do many things like correcting bites when teeth don't line up or making it possible to bring teeth together. Changes in chin shape can be done while correcting problems with jaws. Teeth can be moved. SURGERY is done from the outside through the skin or internally. Dr. Judd says there is no noticable scar with the outside surgery but most women prefer surgery from inside the mouth. Hospitalization is required. A jaw operation lasts 4 to 5 hours. The second day after surgery pain is so minor it can be treated with aspirin. Healing requires 8 weeks. The jaw must be immobilized so most food taken in by the patient is in liquid form. A person will lose 10 to 15 pounds after undergoing surgery, Dr. Judd says. The weight comes back rapidly as soon as normal eating habits resume." 6-- HIS FIRST assignment with the Indians was at the PHS Indian Hospital, Zuni, New Mexico. After fulfilling an assignment at the PHS Outpatient Clinic in San Pedro, Calif, and another residency at the PHS Hospital in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Judd transferred to the PHS Hospital in Staten Island. New York to complete a residency in oral surgery. ON OCTOBER I, 1983, Dr. Judd retired from active duty with the U.S. Public Health Service with a rank of Dental Director 06, the equivalent of an Air Force Colonel. He and his wife, LaJean, moved into a home in Layton. He plans to remain active in dentistry. He has opened an office in the Burch Creek Professional B, Ogden. Dr. Judd will Park, 5089 S.

The reasons for this specialization are hard to explain. Dr. Judd simply says DR.

And training the 125 .000 managerial and technical personnel who maintain the Air Force logistics system is a logistics problem itself. in Cramer says the Air Force has found a solution in teleconferencing. Four years ago a teleconference training program was introduced to Hills Ogden Air Logistics Center personnel. The Teleteach Expanded Delivery System (TEDS) is used to link Air Force classrooms across the country and teach an intensive curriculum about the various logistics systems and how they work. CLASSES focus on different aspects of logistics: materials management, contract nego- tiations. supply techniques and a host of short courses as well. Cramer says classes provided by TEDS are part of Hills $750,000 training program. which includes traditional classroom teaching, too. Hill is linked through TEDS to four other air logistics bases in California. Oklahoma. Texas and to the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFITl at Air Force Base. Ohio where classes originate.
