How appropriate to have this Micigan Forum to talk about the latest:

We had a converence call with Dr Yukna yesterday and he told us that at the AAP, Dr. Mike Rethman “chased him down”. Rethman is the Chief Honcho for the Counsil on Scientific Affairs for the ADA. It was he who selected Dederich and Cobb to write the ADA statmens on Lasers and LANAP.

Apparently he has received “the word” that some respected and influential people are not please with his work product.

Ray said he was sheepish and apologetic in nature, like, “Please don’t be upset with me, I was just doing my job. We are just saying we need more research…..”

To that Ray said, just be sure that you apply the same standards of rigor in research requirements of the other perio products and techniques we use in perio that you apply to LANAP. Ray continued, You know as well as I do that many if not most of the products we use in perio don’t have the amount and type of research that you are demanding for LANAP.

Ray said that Rethman said, “Yeah, yeah, I know.” And walked away.:p

It’s just a matter of time…..
