[{"type":"text","content":"LAKE FOREST, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2024 / BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIOL), a leader in dental laser technology, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024."We experienced another strong quarter in consumable revenue, recording our second-highest mark ever and achieving over 600 recurring subscriptions," commented John Beaver, President and Chief Executive Officer of BIOLASE.
