Dr. Boyne received an M.S. degree from Georgetown University and a DSc (h.c.) from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
Following service as a house officer at the Bethesda Naval Hospital, he undertook studies at the Navy Research Institute, where he was director of dental and craniofacial research. After serving in Vietnam on an aircraft carrier in 1963 and 1964, he returned to Da Nang in early 1968 to begin a study of maxillofacial casualties. Following retirement from the Navy, he was on the faculty at UCLA where he was assistant dean of the School of Dentistry. In 1978, he joined the faculty at Loma Linda University as director of residency training in OMS. His LLU tenure has involved being chief of the OMS service at three hospitals. He is presently professor emeritus.
During his career, he has been active in the study of bone regeneration, bone grafting, osseous correction of cleft palates and craniofacial anomalies, and the osseous repair of facial bones. More recently, his work has dealt with the clinical application of bone inductor cytokines. Dr. Boyne has authored 200 publications in refereed journals, and book chapters, and has written three textbooks on maxillofacial surgery.
For his pioneering of a method of cleft palate bone grafting now adopted internationally, he was the recipient of the highest honor given by the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, the "Honors of the Association," in 1994. In 1988 he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Colby College, and the Distinguished Faculty Award from the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 1998.
Dr. Boyne was an examiner on the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for 14 years (1969-1983) and served as president of that board. He also served as president of the American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and is president of the American Institute of Oral Biology. He has been on many professional boards and committees including the Board of Directors of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Foundation.
