Lantis – StockGuru Profile Lantis – OTC: LSSR.PK Lantis Laser Represents a Dental Equipment Pure-Play Ten Reasons Why You Need a Dental Equipment Pure Play! 1. U.S. Tax Incentives have fueled demand for dental equipment. With U.S. tax incentives for dental equipment investment, finding the right pure play in the dental industry makes a lot of sense. Lantis Laser as a dental equipment pure-play provides the investor with a great opportunity to invest in the $4 billion worldwide dental equipment market. 2. Dental Equipment Market = Higher Growth Based on Recent Tax Incentives Lantis Laser’s coming out party (they are in Stage II development now) will be to a strong and ongoing demand for dental equipment in the middle of an upgrade cycle. U.S. Based tax incentives have contributed to the expansion of worldwide dental equipment market. A recent report indicated the dental equipment market growth will likely trend in the upper single- to low double-digit range over the next several years vs. dental consumables growth which will continue in the historical 4-6% range. No tax incentives for consumables! 3. Indisputable Growth Drivers Growth drivers are fundamental. A growing worldwide population, a rising number of 65+ year-old adults (older adults have greater dental needs and the discretionary income to pay for required and aesthetic dental procedures), the longer retention of natural teeth, and increasing demand for aesthetic dentistry. 4. Declining Dentist to Patient Ratio — Increased Demand for Technology A declining dentist-to-patient ratio is also driving increased demand from dentists for efficiency-enhancing products. Shrinking Number of Dentists per Capita/Increased Focus on Productivity There are approximately 160,000 dentists practicing in the U.S. (162,181 per the ADA in 2004), with approximately 72% of these dentists working in solo practices. According to estimates from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), this number is expected to remain relatively flat in the coming years, as the number of dentists entering the market is essentially offset by a similar number of retiring dentists. The domestic population is expected to grow in the low single-digit range, the number of dentists per 100,000 people is expected to decline in the U.S. from a peak level of 60 dentists per 100,000 in 1994 to an expected 54 dentists per 100,000 people in 2020. 5. This trend has driven the need for new products that can enhance the productivity of a dental practice. With fewer dentists for more patients there is a definitive need for enhanced productivity in dental practices. Demand for higher-technology lines, such as digital imaging systems can remain key growth drivers of the dental equipment market. While the dental equipment market was traditionally characterized by dentists replacing equipment when it became old and worn, today’s purchasing trends are driven by increased demand for new, premium-priced high-tech products. 6. Favorable Demographic Trends The aging of the baby boomer population and the overall growth in the elderly population is one of the main factors helping drive a consistent rise in demand for dental care worldwide. According to U.S. Census Bureau projections, the 65+ age group is expected to more than double from 2000 to 2050 as the baby boomer generation ages. Similar to other areas of healthcare, the graying of America and the rest of the world is important to the dental industry since older individuals typically require more extensive dental care to both maintain healthy teeth (including endodontic/root canal, root scaling and prophylactic procedures) and replace missing teeth (bridges, dental implants, dentures). 7. Increased Focus on Preventative Dentistry Oral healthcare and the practice of dentistry have changed considerably in the United States over the past 20 years. An increased focus on preventative dentistry has led to a significant decrease in edentulous (without teeth) rates in the U.S. over the last 35 years. 8. Recent North American Dental Industry Performance North American dental equipment growth has been even more impressive during this time, driven by the convergence of increasing productivity needs from busy dentists, technological advances from manufacturers, and accelerated depreciation tax incentives that went into effect late in 2001/early in 2002. It has been estimated that the North American dental equipment market grew in excess of 20% in 2002, roughly 15% in 2003, approximately 12% in 2004, and an estimated 10% in 2005. A recent report projects dental equipment North American growth will be in the 8-10% range for 2007 and could remain at – and potentially accelerate modestly above – this level over the next 12-24 months. 9. Dentists will be able to afford a Lantis Laser OCT Imaging System The Lantis Laser OCT Dental Imaging System will be priced so that most dental offices can afford it, at around $20,000.00 10. Health Insurance Carriers are beginning to reimburse dentists for screen and treatment for periodontal disease.
