Marc Peuker's first 3M patent lets you close your mouth a little sooner at the dentist's office, and it was inspired by jazz.
Using Marc's invention, dentists could mix liquids by simply pressing and folding a foil package with a brush already inserted. When they drilled out the cavity, they could quickly mix and apply adhesive before adding the filling. His invention in the early 2000s was an advancement and won multiple awards, becoming a market leader in countries around the world.
So what does music have to do with it?
