DR. DAN FISCHER: As a young dentist, Dr. Fischer realized that rapid, profound hemostasis
was imperative for quality operative dentistry. Because there were no products on themarket that predictably controlled bleeding and sulcular fluid, he developed one.
Considered one of Ultradent’s flagship products, Astringedent®, and later ViscoStat®,resulted from Dr. Fischer’s insight, determination, and willingness to work after hours—
using his own blood to test his efforts—to produce exactly what he felt the market needed.
