Hi all,

I'm a hygienist and found recently that one of our little pet products (really ingredients) xylitol, is being used effectively for wound care. Chronic wound care that is. I'd like to know how you view this and if you're working with patients who have chronic wounds. I'm taking that information and applying it to periodontal disease management. The soft tissue wall of the pocket being the biggest unmanaged wound in the body.

So that's what I'd like to know from you.

Also I'm doing a free webinar next Wednesday, the 14th Xylitol and Biofilm: You Can't Have One With the Other. You're welcome to attend for free, just register https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/285928634.

I'm trying to find ways to fit into your discussions believe me. I'm learning a lot by lurking.
