<<What would we get for our buck apart from arestin>>

The rest of the pipeline is early stage. From the 10Q: <<As of September 30, 2001, we have also completed preclinical trials on our new product candidate for bone regeneration, which focuses on dental implantation and orthopedics. On August 27, 2001 we announced the start of Phase 1 human clinical trials for our product that focuses on oral mucositis, a condition secondary to certain cancer treatments. We expect to begin Phase I human clinical trials for our bone regeneration product prior to year-end 2001.>>

I've heard before (and the CEO certainly said) that mucositis is a big problem for many chemotherapy patients.

Atridox may be superior, but calling it "far superior" seems like a stretch. Given the conservative bent of dentists (for heaven's sake, they are still using drills on people -- talk about medieval!), my bet is that speed and ease of use will carry more weight than marginally-more-effective.
