Lloy, I have never thought of Atridox as a monotherapy for periodontal disease. I think from the major discussions that I have seen, it has always been talked about by the dentist as a combination treatment. I see it as a great tool(method) of reducing the infected area so that SRP can be done in a more effective way. I still feel very comfortable with the potential for Atridox. As you know, there are millions that suffer from this condition and aren't receiving any medical treatment for the problem.....all because of the pain issue related to SRP. At least Atridox now gives them a viable option. Thanks for your comments. It is always appreciated to see opposing views as the trees often block the view of the forest.(:>)

>>Atridox may be a great adjunct but it is only an adjunct.<< No...not "only" an adjunct. I think you have the wrong impression from the report. The implication is that in "advanced" cases the results of antridox aren't enough. With advanced cases the use of antridox as an adjunct has yet to be studied(one might presume it will prove helpful). As I read it wherever the condition is caught prior to advanced stages antridox should be sufficient alone. Reference point two... >>2.Atridox was clinically equivalent to scaling and root planing. << I think that with this being the case, the many cases caught early may never require scaling and root planing- thanks to Antridox.
