ITEM 1.01. AMENDMENT TO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

Schick Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a definitive Exchange Agreement, dated September 25, 2005, to combine with Sirona Holding GmbH (“Sirona”).

The transaction is structured as a stock-for-stock tax free exchange in which the Company will issue Sirona’s parent company 36,972,480 shares of Schick common stock in exchange for (1) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sirona and (2) a promissory note issued by Sirona to its parent company in the original principal amount of EUR 150,992,464. On a diluted basis, Sirona’s owners will own approximately two-thirds of the combined entity and the Company’s current stockholders will own the remainder. The Company’s stockholders will receive a $2.50 per share cash dividend, which will be declared prior to closing.

The transaction has been unanimously approved by both companies’ Boards of Directors and is expected to close by April 30, 2006. It is subject to approval by Schick’s stockholders, clearance by appropriate regulatory agencies and other customary closing conditions, including preparation of Sirona’s German financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

A copy of the definitive agreement between the Company and Sirona is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
