LOGIC PREVAILS
I thought I’d died and gone to heaven reading June JADA. Not once, but twice, logic prevailed. It’s finally sanctioned that we don’t have to tilt at windmills any longer, and medicate [with antibiotics] for the two of the 365 days that the patient’s gums bleed.1 And most amazingly, you actually printed the article confirming what most practitioners see: that amalgam will most often outlive composite in posterior restorations.2 Keep up the good work, even when it may be politically incorrect.
