ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
---------------------------------------------
On June 5, 1997, the Audit Committee and the full Board of Directors of
Professional Dental Technologies, Inc. (the "Registrant") unanimously agreed to
replace Silverman Olson Thorvilson & Kaufmann LTD as independent auditors for
Registrant.
None of the reports of Silverman Olson Thorvilson & Kaufmann LTD on the
financial statements of the Registrant for either of the past two fiscal years
contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the
Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period
preceeding the replacement of Silverman Olson Thorvilson & Kaufmann LTD, there
were no disagreement(s) with Silverman Olson Thorvilson & Kaufmann LTD on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Silverman Olson Thorvilson & Kaufmann LTD, would have caused it
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection
with its report. None of the reportable events listed in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of
Regulation S-K occurred with respect to the Registrant during the Registrant's
two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceeding the
replacement of Silverman Olson Thorvilson & Kaufmann LTD.
On June 20, 1997, the Registrant engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as its
independent auditors.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent
interim period preceeding the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP, neither the
Registrant nor anyone on its behalf consulted Deliotte & Touche LLP regarding
the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated
transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
Registrant's financial statements, and no written or oral advice concerning same
was provided to the Registrant that was an important factor considered by the
Registrant in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issues.
