Exhibit 10.1

AMENDMENT TO DISTRIBUTORSHIP AGREEMENT***

This Amendment to Distributorship Agreement (the “Amendment”) is made and
entered into as of this 1st day of July, 2005. Patterson Companies, Inc., having
a business address of 1031 Mendota Heights Road, St. Paul, Minnesota 55120
(“Patterson”), and Schick Technologies, Inc., having a business address of 30-00
47th Avenue, Long Island City, New York 11101 (“Schick”) (collectively, the
“Parties”), hereby agree to amend the Distributorship Agreement (the
“Agreement”) entered into by and between the Parties as of the 6th day of April,
2000, as follows:

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into the Agreement as of April 6, 2000, and now
wish to amend the Agreement in certain respects and to otherwise affirm and
ratify the terms of the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire that Patterson shall continue to distribute
Schick-branded dental products (the “Products”) into the United States and
Canadian markets (the “Territory”), in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Agreement, as amended herein;

NOW,  THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed that the Agreement is hereby amended in
the following respects:

1     Amendment of Article 2 (Term). The Agreement is hereby renewed and the
term thereof extended for a period of three (3) years, commencing as of January
1, 2005 and ending on December 31, 2007 (the “initial renewal term”). Prior to
the end of the second year of the initial renewal term, the Parties will meet
for the purpose of considering a further extension of the term of the Agreement
for an additional period of three (3) years.

2     Amendment of Article 5 (Pricing). Schick agrees to continue to sell the
Products to Patterson at prices which are consistent with the prices previously
charged by Schick to Patterson for such Products. For new products, the pricing
shall be established in good faith by mutual agreement of the parties annually.

3     Amendment of Article 14 (Return Policy). In the event that Schick
discontinues Patterson as an exclusive distributor upon the terms and conditions
set forth in the Agreement, Schick agrees to take back from Patterson all new
unopened inventory of Products in saleable condition for credit at Patterson’s
cost, provided such inventory is returned to Schick within 60 days of
Patterson’s receipt thereof. The amount of any such credit (net of any amount
owed to Schick by Patterson) shall be paid by Schick to Patterson within thirty
(30) days of Patterson’s request therefore. Other than the foregoing, Patterson
may not return any Products to Schick.

4     Amendment of Article 15 (Termination). In addition to the other grounds
for termination set forth in the Agreement, Schick shall have the right to
terminate the Agreement and/or Patterson’s status as Schick’s exclusive
distributor within the Territory, at Schick’s sole discretion, upon 20-days
written notice to Patterson (the “Notice Period”) in the event that:

(i) Patterson fails to comply with the annual minimum purchase quotas set forth
herein, and does not cure such failure within the Notice Period, or if Schick
reasonably determines, based on the volume of purchases made by Patterson during
the year-to-date, that Patterson is not likely to meet its annual minimum
purchase quota, and Patterson does not cure such shortfall within the Notice
Period; or

(ii) Patterson designates more than one other dental digital radiography
manufacturer as a Patterson “Preferred Vendor 1” (or similar category) or
regardless of the title by which such category may be labeled), and does not
terminate such designation during the Notice Period.

5     Amendment of Article 18.1 (Annual Minimum Purchase Quota). An amended
minimum purchase quota for each category of Product is set forth in Schedule II
to this Amendment. It reflects the minimum required wholesale purchases which
must be made each year by Patterson during the term of this Agreement. (All
amounts

*** Indicates the omission of confidential material pursuant to a Request for
Confidential Treatment made in accordance with Rule 24b-2 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential material is being filed
separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

contained in Schedule II are denominated in U.S. Dollars.) The minimum purchase
amounts set forth in Schedule II include equipment sales only; revenues
generated from spare parts, consumables and Patterson’s “service-club” are not
included in Patterson’s minimum quota. Any shortfall in achieving the minimum
order quantities set forth in Schedule II in either the U.S. or Canadian markets
may be offset by Patterson’s purchases for the other market. For the purpose of
determining whether Patterson’s contractual minimum purchase quotas have been
met only the North American total will apply.

The Parties will meet on a quarterly basis for the purpose of evaluating, in
good faith, whether the volume of purchases made by Patterson hereunder, during
the most recent quarter and year-to-date, is consistent with, and likely to
result in the satisfaction of, Patterson’s annual minimum purchase quota. In
addition, on a monthly basis, Patterson will provide Schick with detailed
information relating to its purchase of Products from Schick including, without
limitation, the sales targets and results for each of Patterson’s branch offices
for that month; a schedule of Patterson’s sales, for that month, for each
product sold by Patterson that falls within any of Schick’s Product categories;
and any other materials reasonably necessary for Schick to ascertain whether
Patterson is “on target” to meet its annual purchase quotas hereunder.

6     Amendment of Schedule I (Products). An amended list of “Products” is set
forth in Schedule I to this Amendment.

7     Preferred Vendor Designation. In recognition of the significant investment
made by Schick in the development of its products and in its strategic
relationship with Patterson, within thirty days following the execution of this
Amendment, Schick, together with all of the Products, shall be designated as a
Patterson “Preferred Vendor 1.” During the term of the Agreement, and any
extension thereof, Patterson shall designate no more than one other dental
digital radiography manufacturer as a Patterson “Preferred Vendor 1” (or similar
category regardless of the title by which such category may be labeled).

8     Ratification. In all other respects the Agreement is ratified and affirmed
in its entirety by the Parties.
