NEWS RELEASE for March 14, 2007

BIOLASE ANNOUNCES RECORD FOURTH QUARTER REVENUE

Company Returns to Profitability with $1.0 Million Net Income

IRVINE, CA (March 14, 2007)—BIOLASE Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLTI), the world’s leading dental laser company, today reported record quarterly revenues, an improved gross profit margin and a return to net profitability for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Fourth Quarter 2006 Results

Net revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 rose five percent to a record $19.8 million, up from $19.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Net domestic revenue for the 2006 quarter increased seven percent to $13.4 million from $12.5 million in the 2005 fourth quarter. Net international revenue increased one percent to $6.5 million in the 2006 fourth quarter, up from $6.4 million for the prior year comparable period.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2006 improved to 58 percent of net revenue as compared with 52 percent of net revenue in the same period of 2005. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2006 decreased to 53 percent of net revenue from 57 percent of net revenue in the same quarter of 2005, including an increase of approximately $400,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, in stock option compensation expense. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 benefited from $417,000 of license fee revenue resulting from the amortization of the $5 million payment received from Henry Schein, Inc. in August 2006.

President and CEO Jeffrey W. Jones commented, “Our fourth quarter performance was a solid finish to a fiscal year in which we saw improvements throughout our business. This was the first time since the second quarter of 2004 that we have reported a quarterly profit. The improved profitability resulted not only from higher sales volume, but also from our ongoing cost reduction and containment programs, improved working capital management, and the quarterly contribution to revenue from the amortization of the up-front license fee we received from Henry Schein, Inc. in August 2006.”

Jones added, “This fourth quarter was also notable because it was the second consecutive quarter in which we achieved positive year-over-year quarterly domestic revenue growth.”

2006 Full-Year Results

Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 rose 12 percent to $69.7 million from $62.0 million for 2005. Net domestic revenue for 2006 was $43.7 million as compared to $43.6

million for 2005. Net international revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 42 percent to $26.0 million as compared to $18.4 million for 2005.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 52 percent of net revenue as compared with 50 percent of net revenue for 2005. Operating expenses decreased from 77 percent of net revenue in 2005 to 59 percent of net revenue in 2006, or by approximately $6.7 million, including an increase of approximately $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in stock option compensation expense. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $4.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $17.5 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 benefited from $556,000 of license fee revenue resulting from the amortization of the $5 million payment received from Henry Schein, Inc. in August 2006.

Jones added, “Our fiscal year 2006 was unquestionably a year of turnaround for BIOLASE, both in terms of financial performance as well as in significant accomplishments. Through our major agreements with Procter & Gamble and Henry Schein, we brought cash funding into the Company without dilution or debt. We reversed a trend of quarterly domestic sales declines that lasted for one and one-half years, and we experienced 42 percent growth in international sales in 2006. And, in the fourth quarter just ended, we achieved profitability for the first time in over two years. We’re about to launch new disposables, and just this month we launched our exciting new ezlase™ state-of-the art handheld diode dental laser system, all testaments to our expanding product pipeline. The year ended with many positive indicators, and I am very enthusiastic about our prospects for a successful 2007.”
