Safe Harbor Statement
This
presentation
may
contain
forward-looking
statements
that
are
based
on
our
current
expectations,
estimates
and
projections
about
our
industry
as
well
as
management’s
beliefs
and
assumptions.
Words
such
as
“anticipates,”
“expects,”
“intends,”
“plans,”
“believes,”
“seeks,”
“estimates,”
“may,”
“will,”
and
variations
of
these
words
or
similar
expressions
are
intended
to
identify
forward-looking
statements.
These
statements
include
projections
about
our
future
earnings
and
margins
and
speak
only
as
of
the
date
hereof.
Such
statements
are
based
upon
the
information
available
to
us
now
and
are
subject
to
change.
We
will
not
necessarily
inform
you
of
such
changes.
These
statements
are
not
guarantees
of
future
performance
and
are
subject
to
certain
risks,
uncertainties
and
assumptions
that
are
difficult
to
predict.
Therefore
our
actual
results
could
differ
materially
and
adversely
from
those
expressed
in
any
forward-looking
statements
as
a
result
of
various
factors.
The
important
factors
which
could
cause
actual
results
to
differ
materially
from
those
in
the
forward-looking
statements
include,
among
others,
a
downturn
or
leveling
off
of
demand
for
our
products
due
to
the

technologies,
adverse
international
market
or
political
conditions,
a
domestic
economic
recession,
the

our
ability
to
control
costs,
intellectual
property
disputes,
the
effects

BIOLASE
is
Revolutionizing
Surgery
in
Dentistry
and
BIOLASE has invented and optimized a biological method to cut tissue
Waterlase is a biological method to cut tissue with very little trauma or bleeding. 
The energy from our laser interacts with the water molecules within tissue, the
absorption of our laser energy expands and vaporizes the water molecules causing
a biological ablation with very little trauma or bleeding. 
Conventional Surgical Devices include the scalpel, high speed drill,
electrosurge, electric bone saws, and heat generating lasers.

The aiming beam on
the Waterlase does
not cut the tissue or

The tissue is cut
biologically, with little
or no pain, by
energizing water at
the molecular level.
…with over 20,000 lasers sold worldwide, including our revolutionary Waterlase iPlus, which was
launched in Q1 2011:
The iPlus features an
intuitive, touch-based
computer screen,
similar to a tablet
personal computer. 
It is designed to
allow for remote
servicing and
software upgrades.

How Waterlase is Changing Dentistry
Pain free in the majority of cases:
With no anesthesia, Waterlase increases efficiency and allows the dentist to work in multiple quadrants in a
single visit.
Less damage to the surrounding tissue.
Speed of the laser now matches
a high-speed drill, for the first time since the Waterlase was
introduced.
New standard of care:
Reinvigorates the dentist, their patients, and the practice.
Virtually eliminates the high risk of cross contamination from dental drills.
Increases acceptance for procedures , including those that cannot be performed with a dental drill.
High ROI:
Can
equate
to
$250-$750
of
additional
DAILY
revenue,
for
example:
a
gingivectomy
is
$160;
perio treatment is $375; hard-
tissue crown lengthening is $520; herpetic or aphthous ulcer is $308; and a frenectomy is $355.
Procedures are easy to learn and training is included in the cost.

Pursuing More Opportunities to Expand in Dentistry

The BIOLASE

With our patented Waterlase and diode technologies, we have created technological
platforms
that
have
the
ability
to
extend
beyond
dentistry:
Ophthalmology:
We
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.  Capability to
restore the elasticity of the eye and allow it to return to normal function, eliminating presbyopia.  We
expect approval to market our patented Waterlase technology for glaucoma, dry eyes, and
presbyopia in the next several years.
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 and 2013.
Opportunities to Expand Beyond Dentistry 
PAGE 20


The BIOLASE
Total Solution
We expect to expand our addressable markets in 2012 and 2013; these potential
markets represent multi-billion dollar opportunities.
Aesthetics:
We
have
various
FDA
approvals
for
applications
in
oculoplastics,
dermatology,
and
plastic
surgery, and are currently investigating options for entering these markets in 2012 and 2013.
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
diode
laser
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/early 2013.
