Independent Auditors' Report
----------------------------
Participants and Trustees of
DENTSPLY International Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of DENTSPLY International Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and
1995 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of DENTSPLY
International Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplemental
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for
benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits and
the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The
supplemental schedule and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

DENTSPLY INTERNATIONAL INC. 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
- --------------------------------
The following is a general description of the DENTSPLY International Inc. 401(k)
Savings Plan (the "Plan"). Participants should refer to the Plan document for
complete information regarding the Plan.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan, and effective January 1, 1994, covers
all full-time employees of the Company and its wholly owned domestic
subsidiaries except employees who are members of a collective bargaining unit.
Employees who are members of one collective bargaining unit became eligible on
October 1, 1994. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan during open
enrollment periods occurring January and July of each year. The maximum
percentage of annual compensation each participant may contribute is 15% except
for certain highly compensated participants who are subject to limitations. The
Company has not made matching contributions to the Plan since December 31, 1993.
In early 1996, the Trustee of the Plan was changed from Mellon Bank to The
Charles Schwab Trust Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). A summary plan
description containing specific Plan provisions has been made available to all
participants of the Plan.
Although the Company has not expressed an intention to do so, the Company
reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to Plan provisions
and ERISA.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------
The Plan's Financial Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Plan assets are valued at fair value based on quoted market prices. Purchases
and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.
Unrealized gains and losses have been calculated on a current value basis in the
Plan's Financial Statements. Income on Plan assets is accrued when earned and
gains or losses on the disposition of Plan assets are recorded when realized.
Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market
7
DENTSPLY INTERNATIONAL INC. 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at
year-end. Participant notes receivable are valued at cost which approximates
fair value.
Benefit payments to participants are recorded when distributed.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 - FUNDING POLICY
- -----------------------
For 1996, 1995, and 1994 each non-highly compensated participant, as defined by
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), was permitted to contribute from 1% to
15% of annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also
contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined
benefit or contribution plans.
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus earnings
thereon. Vesting in the Company's former matching contribution portion of their
accounts plus earnings thereon was based on years of continuous service, with a
participant becoming 100% vested after two years of credited service. All
employees are now 100% vested in the employer matching contribution.
NOTE 4 - ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN ASSETS
- --------------------------------------
The Plan's assets are held by the Trustee of the Plan. In early 1996, the
Trustee was changed from Mellon Bank to The Charles Schwab Trust Company. The
Plan is administered by the 401(k) Savings Plan Committee. The 401(k) Savings
Plan Committee and the Trustee of the Plan are appointed by the Board of
Directors of DENTSPLY International Inc.
Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the
Company. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan.
Administrative expenses for the Plan are paid directly by the Company.

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENTS
- --------------------
In 1996 and 1995, participants directed their contributions in any of the
investment options which are as follows: Fidelity Magellan Fund, Fidelity Growth
Company Fund, Fidelity Balanced Fund, Fidelity Puritan Fund, Fidelity Spartan
Limited Maturity Government Fund, Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund, Vanguard Index 500
Fund, Vanguard Windsor II Fund, Vanguard Wellington Fund, Harris Bank Index
Fund, Harris Bank Government Agency Intermediate Fund, Vanguard Short-Term
Corporate Bond Fund, Mellon Bank Money Market Fund, Schwab Institutional
Advantage Money Fund, and DENTSPLY International Inc. Stock Fund. During 1996
the Mellon Money Market Fund was eliminated as an investment option. During 1995
the Fidelity Spartan Limited Maturity Government Fund, Harris Bank Index Fund
and Harris Bank Government Agency Intermediate Funds were eliminated as
investment options. Participants in these eliminated funds who did not switch to
another fund had their fund balances transferred to comparable funds.
Participants may borrow from their vested account balances in the Investment
Funds a minimum of $1,000 and up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or
50% of their vested account balance. Through December 31, 1995, only
participants who were employees of the Gendex, Midwest and Universal
Divisions/Subsidiaries of the Company were eligible to borrow. Loan transactions
are treated as a transfer to/from the Investment Funds from/to the Loan Fund.
Loan terms range from one to five years except for the purchase of a primary
residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and
bear interest based on the prime rate plus 1%. The interest rate remains fixed
throughout the full term of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably
through payroll deductions.
