Premier Laser Systems Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance to Market Its New Proprietary Solid State Technology for Composite Curing, Teeth Whitening

IRVINE, Calif., Sep 1, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Premier Laser Systems
Inc (Nasdaq/NM:PLSIA) today announced that the Company has received
510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the Company's new proprietary
solid-state light delivery system, BluLaze(TM), for both composite
curing and teeth whitening.

The semiconductor technology of BluLaze is an industry first for
composite curing, offering the dental market a curing system that can
also be used for teeth whitening procedures with no gases to refill and
no lamps or light filters to replace. The portable, five-lb. unit,
which is approximately the size of a telephone, will have a list price
of just under $5,000. It will debut at the California Dental
Association meeting September 16-18 at Moscone Center in San Francisco.

"BluLaze offers the dental market an entirely new high technology
solution for composite curing and teeth whitening," said Premier
President and CEO Colette Cozean, Pd.D., "and for the dentist, BluLaze
is a highly-affordable stepping stone for building a high tech dental
practice."

American Dental Association statistics have previously shown that
resin-based composites were estimated to be used in nearly 50 million
private practice dental procedures yearly, with that number growing as
composites continue to replace metal-based amalgams. Additionally,
other industry sources estimate that about 70 percent of U.S. dental
practitioners perform teeth whitening procedures using take-home
bleaching kits, lasers or other means.

Company-sponsored laboratory studies indicate that BluLaze offers more
efficiency in its pure curing energy delivery than standard halogen or
arc plasma curing lamps. BluLaze takes only three seconds to cure a
standard two- to three-mm layer of dental composite material, compared
with five to 10 seconds for the average plasma arc source and 40
seconds for the conventional halogen bulb. In addition, BluLaze cured
composites at a depth of 5.6 mm to 8 mm, compared to 4.5 mm to 5.9 mm
maximum for plasma arc and other lamp technologies.

Premier Laser Systems develops, manufactures and markets diagnostic and
therapeutic products for the eyecare, dentistry and surgical markets
including lasers, fiber optic delivery systems and associated products
for a variety of applications.

The statements in this release that relate to future events or
performance, statements about growth, future availability of
components, levels of sales and market size, future manufacturing
capacity and efficiencies, future product shipment rates, future FDA
submittals and future product introductions are forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including risks
associated with uncertainties related to the development of markets for

availability of components, competitors product introductions and other
risks identified in the Company's SEC filings. Actual results may
differ from those described in these forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
