BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the world's leading manufacturer and distributor of dental lasers, including the Company's proprietary WaterLase®, and a pioneer in laser surgery in other medical specialties, as well as a distributor of digital radiography and GalaxyBioMill™ CAD/CAM systems for dentistry, today announced that it sold its 25,000th laser into the dental market last week.

Federico Pignatelli, Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are naturally very proud of this substantial milestone, one that it appears no other medical laser company has achieved in dentistry, or any other medical field, over the past 15 years. This is a clear proxy of how BIOLASE is advancing the penetration of lasers into the dental market with its best-in-class technologies, including its revolutionary WaterLase and diode lasers."

Since receiving clearance for its revolutionary WaterLase technology from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in October 1998, BIOLASE has sold over 10,000 WaterLase and 15,000 diode lasers.

"BIOLASE has significantly expanded its product offerings in the past year to become the only Total Technology Solution™ provider in dentistry. We currently offer several variations of our flagship WaterLase system, including the revolutionary iPlus™, the WaterLase MDX™, and the MD Turbo™; two soft-tissue diode lasers, including the EPIC™ and iLase™; a number of NewTom™ 2-D and 3-D CBCT digital radiography products; several versions of Trios® intra-oral scanners; our newly introduced GALAXY BioMill chair-side milling machine; and a number of Stratasys® Design Series 3-D printers. To my knowledge, no other company currently offers such a comprehensive suite of high-tech products for dentistry," concluded Pignatelli.
