Atridox and SRP: Together economically justified?
The periodontist I refer to likes Atridox, and feels it is useful in localized
areas. He feels he gets a 1-2 mm increased attachment gain on average, compared
to SRP alone.
Can't imagine a signif. disruption of {*filter*}flora. That's the whole point
of localized therapy, isn't it?
