"There is no doubt that some parts of the [Henry Schein] relationship weren't working well," Pignatelli admitted during the company's conference call in November. But "we see a significant value in the relationship with Schein, and we're working now together better. "It's all about execution," he continued. "We have a large group of believers in this revolutionary technology, so we are here to stay."TheStreet Premium Services
