Certificate of Incorporation, which has been duly adopted in accordance with the

         SECOND. Its registered office in the State of Delaware is to be located
at 1013 Centre Road, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle 19805, and
its registered Agent at such address is CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY.

         THIRD. The purpose or purposes of the corporation shall be:

         To engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be
organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

         FOURTH. The aggregate number of shares which the Company shall have
authority to issue is 22,500,000 to be divided into (a) 12,500,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $0.04 per share, and (b) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01 per share.

         The Board of Directors is hereby empowered to cause the Preferred Stock
to be issued from time to time for such consideration as it may from time to
time fix, and to cause such Preferred Stock to be issued in series with such
voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional
or other special rights, if any, or the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, as designated by the Board of Directors in the resolution
providing for the issue of such series. Shares of Preferred Stock of any one
series shall be identical in all respects.

Directors of the Corporation by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
the Board of Directors does hereby provide for issuance of a series of preferred
stock, $0.01 par value, of the Corporation, to be designated "Series A Preferred
Stock" and to the extent that the designations, powers, preferences and relative
and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of

<PAGE>   2

                            SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

         Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be
designated as "Series A Preferred Stock" and the number of shares constituting
such series shall be all such shares issued from time to time to Dental Innovate
Corporation by the Corporation, a total of 900,000 shares.

         Section 2. Dividends and Distributions. The holder of Series A
Preferred Stock shares ("preferred shares") shall be entitled to receive
dividends at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum on its paid in capital,
payable each year on a date to be specified by the Board of Directors. The
dividends accrue from the date of issuance of the preferred shares and shall be
deemed to accrue whether or not earned or declared. The right to these dividends
is cumulative; and those currently due as well as all those past due must be
declared and set aside or fully paid before any distribution, by dividend or
otherwise, is paid on, declared, or set apart for the holders of any shares of
common stock. After the cumulative dividends on the preferred shares have been
paid in full, any further distribution of dividends shall be made equally to the
holders of all outstanding shares of common stock.

         Section 3. Voting Rights. The holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall
have no voting power and the holders of the shares of common stock shall possess
exclusive voting power in the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by law.

         Section 4. Conversion Rights. The holder of the Series A Preferred
Stock, at its option and at any time, is entitled to receive one common share
for each preferred share delivered to the Corporation for conversion. A written
notice shall be given to the Corporation not less than thirty days before the
preferred shares are submitted for conversion. If at any time after the issuance
of the preferred shares, the Corporation issues additional shares of common
stock as a stock dividend, or subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of
common stock, the rate of conversion shall be proportionately adjusted. All
shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be canceled
and shall not be reissued. All such shares shall upon cancellation become
authorized, but unissued shares of preferred stock, and may be reissued as part
of a new series of preferred stock to be created by resolution of the Board of
Directors. So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are
outstanding, the Corporation shall reserve a sufficient number of unissued
shares of the authorized common stock to satisfy in full the conversion
privileges of the holder of those shares. The Corporation need not issue
fractional shares of its common stock, but may instead pay cash equal to the
market value of the fractional shares the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock
would otherwise be entitled to on conversion.

         Section 5. Transfer Restrictions. Series A Preferred Stock shall be
non-transferable. Common stock received by the holder of Series A Preferred
Stock upon conversion shall bear the following restrictive legend:

         "THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
         1933. THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED

                                        2


<PAGE>   3

         BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO AN INVESTMENT
         REPRESENTATION ON THE PART OF THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF. IF THE
         CORPORATION SO REQUESTS, BEFORE THESE SHARES ARE SOLD, PLEDGED,
         HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, WHETHER OR NOT FOR
         CONSIDERATION, THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF SHALL OBTAIN AN OPINION OF
         COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, IN THE BOARD'S SOLE
         DISCRETION, THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE
         SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
         LAWS."

         Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of the
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, the holder of Series
A Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive in full the respective amounts
fixed in accordance with the provisions below before any distribution or payment
is made to the holders of shares of common stock. The holder of Series A
Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the consideration
received by the Corporation for the issuance of the preferred shares, together
with the accrued cumulative dividends to the payment date, whether or not earned
or declared. After full payment has been made to the holder of the Series A
Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation are to be distributed
equally to all holders of outstanding common stock, share for share. If the
assets of the Corporation are insufficient to satisfy in full the payments to
the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein, then the holder
of the Series A Preferred Stock will share in any distribution of assets to the
fullest extent to which it otherwise is legally entitled. This provision shall
not apply to a merger or consolidation by the Corporation, nor to any lease or
conveyance of substantially all of its assets.

         FIFTH. The name and address of the incorporator is as follows:

                            Mary T. Reed
                            Corporation Service Company
                            1013 Centre Road
                            Wilmington, DE  19805

         SIXTH. The Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or
repeal the by-laws.

         SEVENTH. No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such
director as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall
be liable to the extent provided by applicable law, (i) for breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct of a
knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction from which director derived an
improper personal benefit. No amendment to or

                                        3


<PAGE>   4

repeal of this Article Seventh shall apply to or have any effect on the
liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with
respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such
amendment.

         EIGHTH. (a) At all meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation,
each holder of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each
share of such class of stock standing in his name on the books of the
Corporation subject to the right of the Board of Directors to determine a record
date at any particular meeting. Cumulative voting shall not be permitted at any
election of directors.

                 (b) The affairs of this Corporation shall be conducted by a
Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided by this Article Eight, the
number of directors of the Corporation, shall be fixed from time to time by the
vote of a majority of the entire Board; provided, however, that the number of
directors shall not be reduced so as to shorten the term of any director at the
time in office. Commencing with the effective date of this Amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation, the directors of the Corporation shall be divided
into three classes; Class I, Class II and Class III, each such class, as nearly
as possible, to have the same number of directors. The term of office of the
initial Class I directors shall expire at the annual election of directors by
the stockholders of the Corporation in 1991, the term of the office of the
initial Class II directors shall expire at the annual election of directors by
the stockholders of the Corporation in 1992, and the term of the office of the
initial Class III directors shall expire at the annual election of directors by
the stockholders of the Corporation in 1993, or in each case thereafter when
their respective successors are elected by the stockholders and qualify. At each
annual election of directors by the stockholders of the Corporation held after
the effective date of this Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, the
directors chosen to succeed those whose terms are then expired shall be
identified as being of the same class as the directors they succeed and shall be
elected by the stockholders of the Corporation for a term expiring at the third
succeeding annual election of directors, or thereafter when their respective
successors in each case are elected by the stockholders and qualify.

                 (c) In case of an increase in the number of directors, the
additional directors may be elected by the Board of Directors and such
directorships thereby created shall be apportioned among the classes of
directors so as to maintain such classes as nearly equal in number as possible.
In case of vacancies in any of the classes of directors, a majority of all the
remaining directors in all classes may elect such directors to fill any such
vacancies in any class.

                 (d) Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be
called only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a
majority of the entire Board of Directors, upon not less than ten (10) nor more
than fifty (50) days written notice.

                 (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding that a
lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or
the By-Laws of the Corporation), the provisions of this Article Eight may not be
repealed or amended in any respect, nor may any provision be adopted
inconsistent with this Article Eight unless such action is approved by the
affirmative vote of the

                                        4
<PAGE>   5

holders of eighty (80%) percent of the total shares of stock of the Corporation
then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

         NINTH. Where stockholder approval is required by applicable state law
for any of the following transactions, the vote required for such approval shall
be the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty (80%) percent of the
voting power of the outstanding shares:

              (a) Any plan of merger;

              (b) Any plan of exchange;

              (c) Any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or
         substantially all of this Corporation's property and assets, including
         its goodwill, not in the usual and regular course of its business;

              (d) Any dissolution of this Corporation;

              (e) Any amendment to, or repeal of, a By-Law or By-Laws lawfully
         proposed by a stockholder or stockholders holding at least the required
         statutory voting power; or

              (f) Any amendment to, or repeal of, all or any portion of this
         Article Nine; provided, however, that if the then current or a
         preexisting Board of Directors of this Corporation shall by resolution
         adopted at a meeting of the Board of Directors have approved one of the
         enumerated matters (other than dissolution of this Corporation or an
         amendment of this Article Nine to alter the eighty (80%) percent
         dissolution vote) and shall have determined to recommend it for
         approval by the holders of shares entitled to vote on the matter, then
         the vote required shall be the affirmative vote of the holders of at
         least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned corporation has executed, signed
and acknowledged this First Restated Certificate of Incorporation this 5th day
of August, 1997.
