A pulsed Er:YAG laser (2.94 pm) was used to determine ablation depths per pulse of laser energy at 2 Hz and 5 Hz in human teeth cross sections of enamel and dentin. Ablation depths per pulse at 2 Hz in enamel of intact human teeth were measured and compared to ablation depths per pulse determined in
