Jessica and Dave sit down with Noel and Richard Paschke—known throughout dentistry as Mr. and Mrs. Ultrasonics.
Noel, a pioneering dental hygienist, educator, inventor, and industry leader, joins her husband Rich, an ultrasonic engineer and innovator, to share the story behind their partnership and the impact they've had on ultrasonic scaling technology.
Together, they discuss how clinical experience and engineering expertise came together to drive product innovation, improve ergonomics, and shape many of the ultrasonic technologies clinicians use today. They also share insights into the invention process, life after retirement, and exciting new technologies currently in development.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How Rich transitioned from military engineering to dentistry
Noel's journey from Johns Hopkins to industry leadership
The clinician-first approach that changed ultrasonic product design
Products and patents that have influenced modern scaling
What's next for the future of ultrasonics
