Business Summary
Biolase Technology, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and markets laser-based systems for use in dental, cosmetic and medical applications. The Company's laser and water-based proprietary HydroKinetic technology incorporated in its dental system, the Waterlase, utilizes an erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser as the energy source. The unique laser pulses act to rapidly energize water to precisely shape or remove enamel, dentin, cavities (dental hard tissue) and soft tissue. This patented breakthrough technology is Er,CR:YSGG laser induced hydrokinetics. When operating in this hydrokinetic mode, the Waterlase system has significant benefits over any previously available technology for cutting the entire range from hard to soft tissues. The Waterlase system is in the early stages of being marketed both in the United States and internationally for dental hard and soft tissue applications.
