 PROFILE
Premier Laser Systems has seen brighter days. The maker of lasers for the dentistry, surgical, and ophthalmic markets has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and has sold many of its patents; competition from Henry Schein and a lack of dentists who adopted the new technology doomed the company. It made dental laser products to whiten teeth, treat gum disease, harden fillings, and drill cavities. Premier Laser had been developing ophthalmic lasers to remove cataracts, treat glaucoma, and sculpt corneas. The company also aimed to replace sutures as the traditional method for wound closure and made cosmetic surgery lasers. Premier Laser's brand names include Aurora, Centauri, MOD, and Polaris.
