    Hi Ron,

    What are the pocket depth and location to #7? How far down do you need to go in for I&D? How much atridox was placed?

    Hi Ron,

    Nice presentation and nice job of treating gently.

    I’ve seen those cases ressected down to bone as a way of “treating” it with a laser.

    Any ideas as to what the cause of the lesion was? Was there a chuck of calculus, or something concrete that would point to an etilology?

    What did the occlusion look like?

    Thanks for posting.

    only thing i can think of is periodontist stirred things up a bit a few days prior during scaling and root planing.. Maybe sterilizing with the laser would have been enough but I had the atridox handy and I figured it definitely couldnt hurt…but there was no calculus in the pocket at all……
