Dean Arthur A. Dugoni is celebrated as the "dean of deans" or American dental schools. His service as a practitioner, rich network of relationships, recognition of emerging opportunities, respectful treatment of all, and ability to make people care and promote loyalty are identified. Significant issues remain for future leadership to address: dental caries is on the rebound, insurance is inadequate to provide needed coverage, prevention must be strengthened, education struggles with too few teachers and high tuition, the mobility of dentists is unrealistically restricted, and the pool of retired dentists who want to donate their services is hobbled by regulations. The ADA can take the leadership in some of these areas, but there is much left to be done by the next generation of individual leaders in the mold of Dean Dugoni.
亚瑟·A·杜戈尼院长被誉为美国牙科学院的“院长中的院长”。文中提到了他作为一名从业者的服务经历、丰富的人际关系网络、对新出现机会的洞察力、对所有人的尊重以及让人们关心并提升忠诚度的能力。未来的领导层仍需解决一些重大问题：龋齿呈反弹趋势，保险不足以提供所需保障，预防工作必须加强，教育面临教师短缺和学费高昂的困境，牙医的流动性受到不切实际的限制，并且想要提供志愿服务的退休牙医群体因规定而受到阻碍。美国牙科协会可以在其中一些领域发挥领导作用，但未来仍有许多工作要由像杜戈尼院长这样的新一代个人领导者去完成。
