After 20 years of exemplary leadership, Barry J. Sessle, BDS, MDS, BSc, PhD, DSc(hc), FRSC, will be stepping down from his position as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Oral & Facial Pain and Headache (OFPH). During his time as Editor-in-Chief, Dr Sessle has elevated OFPH to one of the top pain journals in the field. Quintessence extends our warmest appreciation to him and to his Associate Editors—Sandro Palla, Christian Stohler, Ilana Eli, and Greg Murray—for their outstanding efforts over the years.
As OFPH enters this new chapter, we are pleased to announce that Rafael Benoliel, BDS, will be taking over the position of Editor-in-Chief starting June 1. We are 
certain that Dr Benoliel will uphold the journal’s reputation for excellence, and we look forward to seeing where his leadership takes the journal. Dr Benoliel is currently director at the Center for Orofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders at the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, where he also serves as associate dean for research. He completed his dental training with honors and distinction at the University of London. Following 2 years of training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, Dr Benoliel became part of the dental faculty at the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem. There, he completed a concentration in orofacial pain under the mentorship of Dr Yair Sharav and served as chair of the Department of Medicine from 2003 to 2010 before joining the dental school at Rutgers in 2013. Dr Benoliel has published extensively on the subject of orofacial pain, including over 120 articles, book chapters, and case reports. He is also co-editor of the award-winning textbook Orofacial Pain and Headache (Quintessence, 2015). Dr Benoliel lectures extensively nationally and internationally, serves on the editorial board of several leading journals, and has served on many scientific committees, including the Classification Committees of the International Headache Society and the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders.
