We believe that our first product to market, the CarieScan PRO has the ability to transform dental care. We have shipped our first orders to Patterson Dental, who we recently appointed to distribute the PRO in the USA and Canada and, with the proceeds from the placing we are now proceeding to scale-up manufacture of the PRO to target these substantial markets fully. We look forward to reporting further progress in the years ahead."
