Dear Ms. Fisher:
On November 29, 2005, Biolase Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), filed
a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-129995) (together with the exhibits and
amendments thereto, the Registration Statement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission). Pursuant to Rule
477 under the Securities Act, the Company hereby requests that the Commission consent to the
withdrawal of the Registration Statement effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest
practicable date hereafter. The Company is requesting such withdrawal because it had filed a
subsequent Registration Statement on Form S-3 on March 19, 2007 (File No. 333-141417) under the
Securities Act that registered a portion of the shares covered by the Registration Statement. With
respect to the unregistered portion, the Company is no longer obligated to register those shares.
The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission and no securities have
been issued or sold under the Registration Statement. Therefore, withdrawal of the Registration
Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, as contemplated
by Rule 477(a).
Please send copies of the written order granting withdrawal of the Registration Statement to
the undersigned at Biolase Technology, Inc., 4 Cromwell, Irvine, California 92618, facsimile number
(949) 366-3325, with a copy to the Companys counsel, Latham & Watkins LLP, 650 Town Center Drive,
20th Floor, Costa Mesa, California, 92626, Attn: William Cernius, facsimile number (714) 755-8290.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions regarding this matter.
