Abstract :
Bone tissue drilling experiments performed with the same femtosecond laser at NIR and UV wavelength are reported. The ablation threshold value of human mandible, which is the hardest bone of the skull, was also determined. It was not found significant difference between thresholds. UV ablation is more precise.
