Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the ESOP and 401(k) Committee
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 (Plan) as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. 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 the Standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required
to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe 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 the Plan as
of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary schedule of
assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 is presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but is supplementary 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 supplementary schedule is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplementary schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
Note 1 - Description of Plan
The following brief description of the DENTSPLY International Inc.
401(k) Savings Plan (Plan) is provided for general information purposes
only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan is a contributory defined contribution plan covering all
full-time employees of DENTSPLY International Inc. (Company) and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States who are employed in or
on temporary assignment outside the United States. The Plan was
established January 1, 1992, and amended, thereafter, several times.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Plan Administration
The Plan is administered by the ESOP and 401(k) Committee
(Committee). At December 31, 2005 and 2004, T. Rowe Price Trust
Company (TRP) was the trustee (Trustee) and custodian of the Plan's
assets. The Committee and Trustee of the Plan are appointed by the
Board of Directors of the Company. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, T.
Rowe Price Trust Company was the recordkeeper of the Plan.
Officers or employees of the Company perform certain administrative
functions. No such officer or employees receive compensation from the
Plan.
Contributions
Each year, participants may contribute up to 100 percent of their
pre-tax annual compensation, as defined by the Plan, in multiples of
one percent except for certain highly compensated participants who
are subject to limitations. Participants may also contribute amounts
representing rollovers from other qualified defined benefit or
contribution plans. The Company does not make matching contributions
to the Plan. The participants may direct their contributions into
several different investment options.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
contributions and an allocation of Plan earnings (including
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of Plan assets) and charged
with an allocation of administrative expenses, if any. Allocations
are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.
The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that
can be provided from the participant's vested account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and
earnings thereon.

Note 1 - Description of Plan (Continued)
Payment of Benefits
Participants are entitled to receive a distribution equal to their
vested account balances upon death, retirement, termination or
permanent disability. Participants may elect to receive benefits in
either a lump-sum payment, periodic installments limited in duration
by the provisions of the Plan, or by the purchase and delivery of a
life annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity contract. Assets
may be withdrawn by participants in the case of personal financial
hardship upon approval of the Plan Administrator.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their accounts the lesser of $50,000 or
50 percent of their vested account balance (subject to a $1,000
minimum loan balance). Participants are charged a $50 fee for loans,
which is paid directly from their account. Loan terms may not exceed
five years; except for loans to facilitate the purchase of a primary
residence. The loans bear interest at a rate commensurate with local
prevailing rates as determined by the Plan administrator. Principal
and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.
Administrative Costs
Significant administrative costs of the Plan are absorbed by the
Company.
Note 2 - Summary of Accounting Policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting.
Valuation of Investments
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered
investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which
represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
Common/collective funds are valued at net unit value as determined by
the Trustee, which represents the fair market value. Common stock is
valued at its quoted market price. Participant loans are valued at
cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are
recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Investments of the Plan are exposed to various risks, such as
interest rate, market, and credit. Due to the level of risk
associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty
related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least
reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would
materially affect investment assets reported in the statements of net
assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits.

Note 2 - Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)
Payment of Benefits
Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions
that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results may differ from those estimates.
Note 3 - Investments
The Plan's investments are held by the T. Rowe Price Trust Company. The
following table presents the fair value of investments. Investments that
represent five percent or more of the Plan's net assets available for
benefits are separately identified as of December 31:

Note 4 - Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the Plan to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the
provisions of ERISA.
Note 5 - Income Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
a letter dated May 23, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed
in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.
Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the letter, the Plan
administrator and the Plan's advisors believe that the Plan is currently
designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, they believe the Plan was
qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial
statement date.

Note 6 - Related Party Transactions
During 2005 and 2004, certain Plan investments were shares of registered
investment companies and a common trust managed by T. Rowe Price Trust
Company. In addition, the Plan offers an investment in the DENTSPLY
International Inc. common stock. The transactions in these investments are
party-in-interest transactions which are exempt from prohibited
transaction rules of ERISA.
Note 7 - Plan Merger
Effective December 31, 2005, the Plan assets of the Glenroe Technologies
401(k) Savings Plan were merged with and into the Plan as a result of an
acquisition made by the Company during 2005. As of December 31, 2005,
assets totaling $123,388 were receivable by the Plan.
Note 8 - Subsequent Event
The Board of Directors of the Company approved, in principle, a plan to
combine the Plan with the Employee Stock Ownership Plan operated by the
Company to form a single KSOP Plan. It is the Company's intention to
complete this combination during the 2006 calendar year.
