3D announces that its subsidiary CarieScan Limited ("CarieScan"
or the "Company), a leading provider of Integrated Caries
Management Support Systems ("CMSS"), has continued to expand its

appointment of I.T.Stom as its exclusive distributor within
Russia.
CMSS comprises the CarieScan PRO, a handheld device for the
early detection of tooth decay, and RemoteView, a software package
which captures data gathered by the CarieScan PRO for instant
display on a PC screen and for recall at a later date, allowing
monitoring of the progression or regression of disease. The CMSS
enables the comprehensive monitoring of tooth decay and the
efficacy of the treatment being applied to treat the condition. The
Directors believe the system is the world's first integrated caries
management system.

Notes to Editors:
3D own the protected rights to a technology platform with a
number of significant potential commercial applications. CarieScan
Ltd, a 3D company, produce a Caries Management Support System which
includes the CarieScan PRO(TM) data detection device, and
RemoteView software, providing the display, capture, storage and
recall of caries data to enable dentists and hygienists to
undertake automated monitoring of caries for the first time.
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
PRO(TM) 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).
The RemoteView software application changes the paradigm for
Caries Monitoring. Working wirelessly with the CarieScan PRO, all
data (Tooth Number, Site Information and measurement results) are
captured and displayed in a number of available formats. Once
captured, data is available for review and forms part of a
monitoring record. Disease progression and regression can easily be
monitored. All CarieScan PRO units are shipped with a Bluetooth
dongle enabling any XP/Vista/Windows 7 PC to communicate with the
PRO. The CarieScan Caries Monitoring System is the first dedicated
wireless monitoring system.
