Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9955243A1] An apparatus (20) for ablating a target site (22) of a hard biological tissue (24), such as enamel, dentine and bone tissue including a first radiation source (26) activatable of producing a first output (28) having a wavelength of between 1.5 and 6.5 microns; a second radiation source (27) activatable of producing a second output (30) having a wavelength of between 9.0 and 10.6 microns; a delivering arrangement (32) for effecting coaxialy of the first (28), and second (30) outputs and for concurrently delivering the outputs to the target site (22); wherein the first (28) and the second (30) outputs are selected such that the concurrent delivery of the first (28), and second (30) outputs to the target site (22) ablates the hard tissue (24) at the target site (22).
