 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!

 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 9 |
 Why Dentists Should
Buy an iPlus 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..
Monthly Lease Payment

A dentists’
return on investment can
be between 500% and 1,500%!

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 13 |
 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.
Resistance to antibiotics is high among bacteria that cause serious
infections in humans and reaches 25% or more in several
EU Member States.
Each
year,
about
99,000
patients
in
the
US
die
from
hospital
acquired
infections
and 25,000 patients in the EU
die from an infection related
to multidrug-resistant bacteria.
Infections due to these multidrug-resistant bacteria result in extra
healthcare costs and productivity losses of at least EUR 1.5 billion in
the EU each year.
Mortality rates of one resistant strain MRSA in the U.S. exceeded
the combined
death
toll
of
AIDS,
tuberculosis,
and
hepatitis

 WaterLase Tips:
•
Smooth tip surface does not harbor debris or bacteria like
abrasive surface of burs or files.
•
YSGG laser energy is bacteriacidal.
•
Single-use, disposable tips that work without the need to
contact tissue. Also eliminates accidental sticks with
contaminated burs.

times more effectively than NaOCl³
Burs and Endo Files:
•
15% of “sterilized”
burs and up to 76% of “sterilized”
endodontic files carry pathogenic micro-organisms.
•
Complex and rugged bur surface difficult to sterilize.
•
Autoclaving fails 15% of the time to decontaminate burs¹ •Only 32% of endodontic engine-driven files are replaced after
every
case
and
36%
after
every

case.

 Patented
laser toothbrush for home use: •
BIOLASE is currently developing a laser toothbrush for consumer home-use in
connection with a license agreement with The Proctor and Gamble Company
(“P&G”). •
Research indicates that a laser toothbrush for home-use will whiten teeth,
disinfect teeth and gums, bio- stimulate
teeth
and
gums,
relieve
pain,
and
perform
photodynamic
therapy.
New lasers:
•
BIOLASE expects to offer additional all-tissue WaterLase products in 2012 that
complement the iPlus. •
Planning to re-launch its handheld diode laser with several new options and
applications. •
Currently engineering more powerful diode soft-tissue lasers for launch in 2012.
New Imaging products:
•
BIOLASE expects to offer additional imaging products in 2012 that complement its
current products. Further Opportunities to Expand in Dentistry
PAGE 16 |
 •
iPlus sales will continue grow rapidly as new products ramp enhancing revenue
visibility. •
Disposables and consumables will continue to represent ~20% of total sales.
•
New products will expand BIOLASE’s addressable markets 2 to 3 times.
•

Diversification in 2012
PAGE 17 |
 With our
patented WaterLase and diode technologies, we have created technological platforms
that have the ability to extend far outside of dentistry. 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 BIOLASE’s 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 18 |
 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
laser
for
pain
therapy in 2012 which will coincide with a new marketing campaign.
Podiatry:
We
have
found
that
our
Diolase
10
technology
is
very
effective
in
the
treatment
of
nail
fungus
and we are completing the clinical and regulatory requirements necessary to enter the
market in 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 over the next 12 months.
