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
availability
and
pricing
of
competing
products
and
technologies,
adverse
international
market
or
political
conditions,
a
domestic
economic
recession,
the
volume
and
pricing
of
product
sales,
our
ability
to
control
costs,
intellectual
property
disputes,
the
effects
of
natural
disasters
and
other
events
beyond
our
control
and
other
factors

those

Water molecules within tissue absorb laser
energy from the WaterLase and vaporize,
resulting in an atraumatic ablation of the
tissue.
Very little trauma or bleeding,
No heat or vibration, and
Little or no pain
Significantly reduces cross contamination

How It Works: WaterLase High Speed Cutting

WaterLase Atraumatic Pediatric Tooth Extraction
The aiming beam 
does not cut the
tissue nor
generate heat. 
The tissue is cut
biologically, with
little or no pain,
when the laser
energizes water
at the molecular
level.

Why Should Dentists Buy a Waterlase iPlus?
WaterLase
enables
dentists
to
perform
procedures
that
they
would
otherwise
refer
to
specialists,
for
example:
Gingivectomy = $160-$200
Perio Treatment = $375-$1,000
Hard-tissue Crown Lengthening = $500-$700
Herpetic
or
Aphthous
Ulcer
=
$300
-
$500
Frenectomy = $400-$600
These procedures are easy to learn and training is included in the cost.
With no anesthesia, the WaterLase also increases efficiency and allows the dentist to work in multiple
quadrants in a single visit., equating to $250-$750 per day in additional revenue.
Monthly Finance Payment
New Monthly Revenue Generated
Approx. $1,300
$5,000 –
$15,000
PAGE 11
A dentists’
return on investment can
be 500% to 1,500%
Return on Investment


WaterLase dentists offer their customers more
procedures
and they have a higher rate of acceptance. 
Patients are more likely to accept treatment if it does not
hurt them.
Case Study:  Doctor David Peck
(Springfield, MA)
$1M practice in 2010; purchased a WaterLase iPlus
in January 2011.
Practice grew to $1.7M in 2011; For example, Dr.
Peck performed 75 frenectomies in 2011 that
generated $35,000 of revenues.  That’s a total of
about 90 minutes of work.
Purchased second WaterLase iPlus in Sept 2012; practice
grew to $2.0M in 2012.

WaterLase Technology Substantially Reduces
the Risk of Cross Contamination and Contagion
Burs and Endo
Files:
WaterLase
Tips:
Complex and rugged bur surface difficult to sterilize.
Smooth tip surface does not harbor debris or
bacteria like abrasive surface of burs or files.
YSGG laser energy is bacteriacidal.³
Disposable tips work without the need to contact tissue. 
Also eliminates accidental sticks with contaminated burs.
15% of sterilized
burs and up to 76% of “sterilized”
endodontic files carry pathogenic micro-organisms.

The “big story”
potential of pipeline products in at least five
new markets (orthopedics, ophthalmology, ENT surgery,
podiatry, and veterinary surgery)
The stability and risk-reduction of an established growing
business in its first market: dentistry
With BIOLASE, you get both advantages in one company: (1)
potential upside from a deep pipeline, and (2) an established
growth business –
at a very low multiple of revenues
