This invention is an apparatus and method for vaporizing any one of hard tissue and deposits (36) on hard tissue (52). A scanner (22) substantially continuously scans a target area and directs a pulsed laser (20) beam during the scanning so as to vaporize portions of the target area to form a vaporized target area of a desired size and shape. Non-limiting examples of applications include those for performing a stapedectomy, drilling in teeth, vaporizing of plaque, and caries.

Dispositif et procédé servant à effectuer une vaporisation sur tout tissu dur et un dépôt (36) sur ledit tissu (52). Un ensemble de balayage (22) balaye sensiblement en continu une zone cible et dirige un faisceau laser pulsé (20) pendant le balayage, de manière à effectuer la vaporisation de parties de la zone cible, afin de créer une zone cible de forme et de dimension souhaitées ayant reçu la vaporisation. L'invention englobe des possibilités de mises en application illimitées, y compris une stapédectomie, le perçage d'une dent et la vaporisation sur la plaque dentaire et sur des caries.
