3D Diagnostic Imaging plc - Cariescan Expands Distribution Capability with Further Appointments in the USA and for the First Time, Russia

August 23, 2011 -- CarieScan expands distribution capability with further appointments in the USA and for the first time, Russia

3D announces that its subsidiary CarieScan Limited (“CarieScan” or the “Company), a leading provider of Integrated Caries Management Support Systems (“CMSS”), has continued to expand its distribution capability with the agreement of heads of terms with Henry Schein, Inc. for the distribution of the Company’s Caries Management Support System in the USA. 3D also announces the appointment of I.T.Stom as its exclusive distributor within Russia.

CMSS comprises the CarieScan PRO, a handheld device for the early detection of tooth decay, and RemoteView, a software package which captures data gathered by the CarieScan PRO for instant display on a PC screen and for recall at a later date, allowing monitoring of the progression or regression of disease. The CMSS enables the comprehensive monitoring of tooth decay and the efficacy of the treatment being applied to treat the condition. The Directors believe the system is the world’s first integrated caries management system.
