November 18, 2008 -- Lares Research has extended its agreement with Fotona, the leading European manufacturer of all-tissue dental lasers, for an additional five years, according to the company.

Under the new agreement, Lares Research continues as the exclusive U.S. distributor of Fotona's all-tissue Er:YAG and Nd:YAG dental lasers, currently sold under the Lares laser model names PowerLase AT and PowerLase HT. The new agreement also provides for Fotona and Lares to work closely together on developing new lasers and laser clinical applications, in addition to enhancements to the existing products.

Lares Research and Fotona have worked since 2005, noted Craig Lares, president of Lares Research, in a press release.
