Montreal, June 8, 2006 – The Handpiece Clinic Inc. (a ProDrive Systems Company), announced today that it has been selected as the exclusive handpiece service partner for Canada’s largest network of dental centres; Altima Dental Centres & International Health Partners.

"Altima Dental has the largest network of dental centres in Canada. Our mission is to provide consistent and high quality dental care.  We have selected The Handpiece Clinic as our exclusive handpiece service partner because of their quality service and competitive pricing," said Ameet Sharma Corporate Controller, Altima Dental Canada.

The Handpiece Clinic is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Just last fall the team moved into a larger service facility in Ottawa and opened its American service operations in New York. All this was done to support a growing customer base and the imminent launch of the ProDrive Upgrade Turbine for leading brand dental handpieces. The Handpiece Clinic and ProDrive Systems are TTi Turner Technology Instruments Inc. Companies.

Jean T. Castonguay, President and CEO of The Handpiece Clinic and ProDrive Systems said, “We’re excited about this partnership for two important reasons. First, it demonstrates the ability of our new operations to handle a growing client base as we have more than doubled our customers and revenue in just over 6 months. Second, it expands our reach into the market for product trials with our new ProDrive Upgrade Turbine – all Altima and International Health Partner clinics will be invited to join our trial to improve handpiece performance and durability.”
