Hi,
	I can't say exactly when they stopped marketing Ion lasers, but the
story is interesting:

Wednesday, July 10, 1996
MARKET CLOSE
ION LASER TECHNOLOGY  fell $2 to $13 1/8 today after the company announced
that it would petition the United States Patent Office for an "expedited
review of its proprietary laser-based tooth whitening procedure." The
company had previously filed for patent protection for its proprietary
tooth-whitening process, but apparently the process was taking too long for
the company's tastes. The stock's decline today suggests that some investors
might be questioning whether patent approval will arrive soon enough to
protect Ion Laser's products. Foolish investors are advised to check out the
active Ion Laser message board for more details.

Ion Laser Technology Inc. changes to BrightSmile -
With their symbol of the American Stock Exchange now BWT.
(From the Wall Street Journal, 8/26/98)
