Facial Restorations Available at Dental School
Ever wondered how new
faces are made out of old
ones? Restoring lost facial
structures is one of the
many jobs performed by
the University's Dental
College.
Dr. Raymond H. Stein
t acher, Chairman of the
Prosthodontics Depart
ment, is in charge of this
process, knowii as "maxillo
facial prosthesis." He de-(
fines this as "making arti
ficial substitutes for lost
structures in the facial
area due to carcinoma."
Carcinoma
Carcinoma is a cancer
which necessitates the re
moval of parts of the face,
eiliher exitraorally (outside
S mouth) or intraorally
(inside the mouth).
It is the task of Dr. Stein
acher and his associate,
Dr. Jack M. Knodle, to
make and restore these
parts. The process s ac
complished in co-operation
. with the Surgical Depart
ment of the College of
Medicine.
Dr., Steinacher described
the process in the following
five steps:
1 "1. We make a facial
moulage, a repetition of the
face as it is. An impres
sion mat is used and this
is called the "working
model." 1
2. Modifications
are made if any intraoral
structures are to be replaced.
3. A wax pattern is fit
ted duplicating the struc
ture of the other side of
the face.
4. With the wax pattern,
the patient is fitted for fine
adjustments.
5. The model is fabricat
ed into the materials avail
able." ,
The 42-year old Instruc
tor, who hag taught at the
University for 15 years, list
ed the materials as a soft
rubber type, a hard plastic
and a new plastic.
The soft rubber type
didn't last too long and
was not colorfast and there
was a weight problem in
volved with the hard plas
tic, Dr. Steinacher indi
cated. New Plastic
He said that recently a
new material has been de
veloped. This new plastic
is made up of silicone
mixed with methyl methac
rylate. The advantages of it are
(1) colorfastness 'and (2)
easy adaptability, accord
ing to Steinacher.
In cases of eye replace
ments, the plastic has been
preferred to the glass eye
recently, he commented.
"The new structures are

IFC Reorganization
Board of Control
Won't Comment
Parts of the proposed Interfraternity reorganization plan
nave Deen dropped by the IFC Board of Control, according
to reliable sources. No official statement was made concern
ing the outcome of Tuesday night's meeting.
Members of the Alumni Advisory Group and the IFC
tsoara oi control were present at the closed Board meeting
held Tuesday night. The meeting was the second held in con
nection with proposed plan.
Board Plan
The IFC presented its plan after turning down a plan sug
gested oy tne board.
means. Glasses are used
for the eyes and special
adhesives have been used
for the lips," he said.
Dr. Steinacher said that
the facial prosthesis has
been used at the University
for approximately three
years and he has worked on
11 or 12 cases.
Cases Vary
He pointed out that these
cases varied in complexity
"from prosthesis in the
hard palate to complete res
toration, such as the eye
and the jaw."
"The complexity varies,
depending upon the magni
tude of the cancer," he re
ported.
"There is no pain in the
process if the patient is
properly fitted," he stated.
Dr. Steinacher, who grad
uated from the University
with three degrees (Bach
elor's, DDS and MS), ad
mitted that the restora
tions "do require some
amount of time, artistic
ability and knowledge of
anatomy."
NU Graduate
His co-hart, Dr. Knodle,
is 33, has been at NU seven
years, and is also in the
Prosthodontics Department.
He graduated from the Uni
versity and obtained his
masters at Montana State.
The two dentists also
combine their talents to
make a cleft palate; con
sidered a "cosmetic res
toration." .
"For these cases, in
which the hard, so t or both
palates may be missing,
the appliances are used to
close off the nasal cavity
to the mouth so the pa
tient can speak more clear
ly," Dr. Steinacher stated.
"The majority of these
cases are people between
the ages of two and 20," he
said, "because we are
working with the State
Crippled Children's Home."

Capt. Svoboda estimated that

Dick Rueter, tickets and

attributed the rapid ticket

"More reserved tables

we made arrangements for

during the Student Council

Bill Connell told of seeing "a
campus cop going through
my glove compartment two or
three weeks ago."
Connell asked fellow Coun

the Parking committee Deon
Stuthman if , the policeman
was within his rights.
Captain Masters explained
that a policeman "is com
pletely within his rights to
check the contents of a car
when he is in the line of duty.
"However," he continued,
"he cannot search a house
or apartment without a
search warrant." '
Connell related that he was
"rather surprised" to see
someone going through his
glove department. "It seems
to me it is an invasion of pri
vacy," he said.

Dr. Cosio is the founder
and "principal force" of the
Fondo de Cultura Economica,
