CarieScan expands its distribution network within Europe
3D is pleased to announce that its subsidiary CarieScan Limited
("CarieScan"), the producer of a handheld device for the early
detection and monitoring of tooth decay, has appointed Arseus
Dental as its exclusive distributor of the CarieScan PRO(tm) within
Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg ("Benelux"), where there
are believed to be more than 17,000 dental practitioners.
Arseus Dental, a division of NYSE Euronext Brussels-listed
Arseus NV, is a leading European supplier of added-value products
and services to dental laboratories and other professionals in the
dental sector. Arseus Dental also has a production facility in
Switzerland which manufactures precision components for the dental
industry.
With the signing of this agreement CarieScan now has
distribution partners in 11 key territories and continues to
strengthen its distribution network across mainland Europe and the
rest of the world. It is anticipated that the initial stocking
order for the Benelux region will be shipped this month.
Commenting on this agreement, Graham Lay, Chief Executive
Officer of 3D Diagnostic Imaging, said:
"This agreement marks a welcome expansion of our business into
continental Europe, which is an important area for our growth. We
are delighted to have such a prominent partner as Arseus Dental in
the region as they are recognised by dental healthcare
professionals as both a qualitative and competitive supplier. We
are continuing discussions with other potential distribution
partners across the world and hope to be in a position to make
further announcements in due course."
Louis van der Mortel, General Manager of Arseus Dental
commented:
"The CarieScan PRO(TM) is an excellent addition to the Arseus
Dental product offering. It broadens our portfolio of the most
innovative dental technologies and enables us to offer leading edge
dental care to our customer base. We are certain that the CarieScan
PRO(TM) will be well received by both patients and clinicians as
more preventive treatment programmes are demanded in the
Benelux."

Notes to Editors:
3D owns the protected rights to a technology platform with a
number of significant potential commercial applications. Its first
product to market is the CarieScan PRO(TM).
The CarieScan PRO(TM) measures the presence of tooth decay
earlier and more accurately than any other device on the market and
is more than 90% accurate in detecting both sound and carious
teeth, well ahead of other methods. It detects "hidden" decay,
providing dental practitioners with the opportunity to arrest or
even reverse decay, driving the trend towards preventative dental
care.
The lightweight CarieScan PRO(TM) detection monitor not only
offers best-in-class performance for decay detection but also
allows easy monitoring of the effect of treatment regimes to show
decay advancement or regression, thus enabling dentists to tailor
treatment to the needs of the patient at a low cost. The CarieScan
PROtm consists of a hand piece and a disposable sensor which is
held against the tooth being examined in a process which takes
approximately 4 seconds per tooth with the result displayed on the
CarieScan PRO(TM).
