BIOLASE is Revolutionizing Surgery in Medicine
The Er,Cr:YSGG (2780nm) laser crystal has the highest level of absorption in water
in human tissue.
This absorption creates an expansion and vaporization of the water molecules
causing a biological ablation of human tissue with very little trauma or
bleeding.
Tooth enamel ~5% water, dentin and bone ~25% water, soft tissue ~80% water, and
the eye ~90% water. How? Through the science of
WaterLase! PAGE 3
Conventional Surgical Devices include the scalpel, high speed
drill, electrosurge, electric bone saws, and heat generating lasers.
BIOLASE is NOT Just Another Medical Device Company!

The aiming beam on
the WaterLase does
not cut the tissue or
generate any heat.
The tissue is cut
biologically, with little
or no pain, by
energizing water at
the molecular level.
Using BIOLASE WaterLase Systems, including our new WaterLase iPlus System:

Why
BIOLASE WaterLase Technology in Dentistry? Traditional
high-speed
drills
work
by
FRICTION
which
creates
HEAT
which
causes
PAIN.
This PAIN
necessitates injections of ANESTHESIA which results in PAIN and
NUMB LIPS.
In addition, the lack of feeling from the numbing injections can
lead to THERMAL DAMAGE
which can lead to PULPAL DEATH and result in a ROOT CANAL.
The traditional high-speed drill
also causes VIBRATION, which causes PAIN
and leads to
MICROFRACTURES. These MICROFRACTURES allow BACTERIA to penetrate the tooth
which causes further DECAY and the FRACTURING of teeth.
High
speed
drills
also
require
the
use
of
BURS
which
even
after
autoclaving
have a 15% chance of carrying pathogenic micro-organisms. Needles
and files can also carry bacteria. That means in traditional dentistry the
patient has a 1 in 6 chance of cross contamination.
WaterLase energy
does not create heat or vibration so there is NO PAIN. Further, the
WaterLase is bactericidal, antiviral and essentially eliminates the risk of cross
contamination.
PAGE 12 |
Why
Dentists Should Buy a WaterLase System?
WaterLase technology enables traditional dentists to perform procedures that they
currently refer out to specialists or current WaterLase dentists, for
example:
Gingivectomy = $160
Perio Treatment = $375
Hard-tissue Crown Lengthening = $520
Herpetic or Aphthous Ulcer = $308
Frenectomy = $355
With no anesthesia, the WaterLase also increases efficiency and allows the dentist
to work in multiple quadrants in a single visit.
This equates to $250-$750 per day in additional revenue. These
procedures are easy to learn and training is included in the cost..

$50B to $100B WaterLase Market Opportunity
The WaterLases global market opportunity is immense
because the dental community is the largest medical
community in the world.
176,000

the
US
and
Canada.¹
Over 1.2 million dentists in 134 countries and growing
rapidly
in
emerging
economies.²
19,000 systems in over 11,000 practices.
Every 1% of further market penetration, just with the
WaterLase, is equal to an opportunity of well over $600
million in revenues!
Estimated total global market of 1,200,000,
which is growing rapidly due to new markets
such as China, India, and Indonesia.
19,000

worldwide.
1. American Dental Association. 2. World Federation of Dentistry. 3.
1998-present over 19,000 BIOLASE systems sold. PAGE 14

Warning:
Patients Urged to Ask their Dentists
About the Risk of Cross Contamination!
Cross
contamination
is
a
huge
threat:
1,2,3,4
The CDC defines cross-contamination as the
act of spreading bacteria and viruses from one
surface to another. Blood-borne viruses have
the ability to live on objects and surfaces for as
long as a week.
Sterilization techniques used for dental burs
used with high speed drill and endodontic files
are not effective. This is a serious health
threat!
Many bacteria are becoming more and more
resistant to antibiotics.
5
PAGE 15 |
The
Bacterial Challenge Antibiotic resistance adversely impacts the health of
millions of patients every year. Of the patients receiving
antibiotics, 50% receive unnecessary or
redundant therapy, resulting in overuse of
antibiotics.¹
Resistance to antibiotics is high among bacteria that cause serious
infections in humans and reaches 25% or more in
several EU Member
States.² Each year, about 99,000 patients in the US die from hospital
acquired infections³
and 25,000 patients in the EU die from an
infection related to multidrug-resistant bacteria.² Mortality rates of one resistant
strain MRSA in the U.S. exceeded the
combined
death
toll
of
AIDS,
tuberculosis,
and
hepatitis
B.¹

to
develop
a laser toothbrush for home use using our patents which will whiten teeth,
disinfect teeth and gums, bio- stimulate

and
perform

New lasers:
BIOLASE introduced the WaterLase MDX line of all-tissue lasers in February 2012
and plans to continue to offer additional all-tissue WaterLase products
in the future that complement the iPlus.
We are planning to re-launch the iLase, our handheld diode laser with several
new options and applications.
We are also currently engineering more powerful diode soft-tissue lasers for
launch in 2012. New Imaging products:
In February 2012, BIOLASE became the exclusive North American distributor for
Ceflas NewTom cone beam
3D
imaging
products,
thereby
complementing
its
large
family
of
BIOLASE
DaVinci
Imaging
products.

Digital Imaging
Cone
Beam
Computed
Tomography
(CBCT)
3D
Imaging:
We
offer
the
Cefla
NewTom VGi and the BIOLASE DaVinci D3D digital CBCTs. These systems are a
vast improvement over traditional x-ray imaging technologies and offer
tremendous clinical and
diagnostic
advantages
to
dentists.
CBCTs
allow
dentists
to
see
more
which,
when
coupled with our WaterLase technology, allows dentists to do
more. X-Ray
Generators:
The
BIOLASE
DaVinci
iGen
x-ray
generator
offers
a
unique
ball-
joint and brake assist for optimal positioning.
Portable
X-ray
Tablet:
The
BIOLASE
DaVinci
iTab
x-ray
tablet
allows
for
immediate
access to x-ray images. It offers wireless synchronization to operatory
workstations. Intra-oral
Camera:
The
BIOLASE
DaVinci
iView
is
a
progressive
scan
intra-oral
camera that can take live and still images. This is an excellent tool to
assist the dentist in gaining patient treatment acceptance.
|
We expect WaterLase sales to continue grow in 2012, primarily driven by the iPlus
and complemented by our new line of lower priced WaterLase MDX
lasers. With the MDX, as well as certified, pre-owned MD
Turbos, we can now offer a number of price points to match up with a doctors
specific all-tissue laser needs.
Disposables and consumables will continue to represent ~20% of total sales.
Our BIOLASE DaVinci Imaging and Cefla New Tom digital imaging products
significantly expand our product portfolio and offer dentists a Total
Technology Solution where, when coupled with our industry-leading
WaterLase

they

With
our patented WaterLase and diode technologies, we have created
technological
platforms
that
have
the
ability
to

We
expect
to
greatly
expand
our
addressable
markets
in
the
coming
years
which, we believe, has the potential to substantially increase our
revenues. Each
of
these
potential
markets
represents
a
multi-billion
dollar
opportunity.
Ophthalmology:
We
currently
hold
14
issued
and
19
pending
U.S.
and
International
patents
in
four patent families in the field of ophthalmology, giving us a wide range of
applications and coverage.
Our
patented
technology
has
the
capability
to
restore
the
elasticity
of
the
eye
and
allow it to return to normal function, eliminating presbyopia. Management has
established a new subsidiary, OCULASE, which will own and develop
BIOLASEs ophthalmic assets and technologies.
In
2012,
we
expect
approval
to
market
treatments
for
glaucoma
and
dry
eyes.
We
expect approval to market WaterLase technology for presbyopia internationally in
2013 and in the United States in 2014.
2012: Expanding Beyond Dentistry
PAGE 22 |
Aesthetics:
We
have
various
FDA
approvals
for
applications
in
dermatology,
plastic
surgery,
and
oculoplastics and are currently investigating options for entering these markets in
2012. Pain
Management:
We
anticipate
launching
a
new
deep-tissue
hand
piece
and
upgraded
diode
laser for pain therapy in 2012 which will coincide with a new marketing
campaign. Pain therapy works and we are seeing more high-level
athletes seeking treatment. Podiatry:
We
have
found
that
our
Diolase
10
technology
is
also
very
effective
in
the
treatment
of
nail fungus and we are completing the clinical and regulatory requirements
necessary to enter the market in late 2012.
Orthopedics:
We
are
working
with
several
key
manufacturers
and
universities
to
provide
solutions that are not currently available. We are investigating
opportunities for several orthopedic applications and anticipate filing
several 510(k) applications during 2012. PAGE 23
