Chicago, Illinois - ORA Dental Studio was honored for the second time this week at the CleanMed conference
in Baltimore with the "Making Medicine Mercury-Free" award from Practice Greenhealth, a national organization
for health care facilities committed to environmentally responsible operations. The award recognizes healthcare
facilities that have eliminated mercury from their facilities and have made a commitment to continue to be
mercury-free. ORA Dental Studio has the distinction of becoming the first dental facility in the nation to receive
this award from Practice Greenhealth for their exceptional environmental efforts.

"Being both mercury-free and BPA-free are essential aspects of practicing environmentally responsible dentistry
and we hope that the entire dental industry will eventually join our efforts" states Mladen Kralj D.M.D., cofounder
and lead developer of ORA Dental Studio.

CleanMed is an annual global conference focused on environmentally sustainable health care. This international
conference plays a crucial role in catalyzing environmental improvements in the health care sector. The
conference draws a diverse mix of over 600 health care leaders, materials and purchasing managers,
environmental health and safety staff, doctors, nurses and providers, architects, designers, and medical and
building product vendors from across the globe.

"We conscientiously employ the precautionary principle within all of our patient care modalities, and to be
nationally recognized for eliminating mercury within all of our dental practices further solidifies our stance."
states Goran Kralj D.D.S., co-founder and lead developer of ORA Dental Studio. "This award, along with our
partnership with the World Health Organization in their global Mercury-free Healthcare campaign are a
demonstration of the commitment we have to the health of our patients and the environment," adds Steven Koos
D.D.S., M.D., ORA’s lead oral surgeon and Director of Environmental Affairs.

Each year at the CleanMed conference (www.cleanmed.org) the Environmental Excellence awards recognize
pioneering organizations whose environmental programs are well established and who are leading the
healthcare sector with innovative projects. The award is one of the organization’s seven Environmental
Excellence Awards given each year during CleanMed to honor outstanding environmental achievements in the
health care sector.

"Reducing the environmental footprint involves the elimination of contaminants and pollutants one by one," said
Bob Jarboe, Executive Director of Practice Greenhealth. "Until recently mercury was an integral part of health
care operations. Now the Making Medicine Mercury-Free Award recognizes the determination to reduce the
health and environmental impacts associated with the use of mercury in every health care facility."

healthcare community that have made a commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly practices. Members include
hospitals, healthcare systems, businesses and other stakeholders engaged in the greening of healthcare to
