General Membership Meeting: Composites Done More Efficiently Can Relieve the Pandemic Strain

1. Whether paste type or dual-cure injectable, the bulk fills can save time and be beautiful

2. 10% overfill and rapid hard composite sculpting with specialized burs can save up to 50% in the finish time

3. Creating beautiful, anatomically correct morphology and occlusion does not need to be painful

4. Improved ergonomics with “vertical” posterior sculpting can help those tired necks

5. Turn your hands into robotic sculptors!

Biography:
Dr. Patrick Roetzer is the director of clinical operative dentistry at the University of the Pacific. Hard work and many hours of small talk recently brought Dr. Roetzer to the directorship at the university’s Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, Calif., where he focuses on education and research.

Roetzer’s other accomplishments include serving as the clinical affairs director at Danville Material and holding more than 17 patents on dental devices in foreign and domestic markets. His patents on popular dental tools used for restorative dentistry include a post-placement and removal drill called the Unicore Drill, a lip and cheek retractor, and the Ultrapro Tx, an ergonomic handpiece.

He also was inducted into the International College of Dentists and is listed in the Best Dentists in America. Dr. Roetzer received the UWO Alumni Association’s Distinguished Alumni Award in 2005. Although a resident of California, Roetzer still thanks UWO for the social and educational experiences the university provided him. He takes pride in his Titan education.
