SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1.                                Security and Issuer
 
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-2(a), to amend and supplement the Schedule 13D filed on November 10, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on November 10, 2014 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Biolase, Inc. (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 4 Cromwell, Irvine, California 92618.  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.                                Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
The warrants to acquire 3,824,252 Shares purchased by the Trust on November 7, 2014 and transferred to the Foundation on that same day become exercisable beginning six (6) months following the date of issuance, or on May 3, 2015.  Of note, the terms of the warrants prohibit the holder of such warrants from exercising the warrants to the extent that the exercise would result in the holder and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 19.99% of the outstanding Shares.
 
Under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Exchange Act, a person is deemed to beneficially own a security if the person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within sixty (60) days.  As of March 4, 2015, the Foundation will have the right to acquire, within 60 days, beneficial ownership over 3,824,252 Shares upon conversion of the warrants.
 
 
Item 5.                                Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a, b)  As of March 4, 2015, Mr. Schuler may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 12,311,883 Shares, representing approximately 19.9% of the Shares outstanding.  This amount consists of (A) 2,604,166 Shares held by the Trust, representing approximately 4.5% of the Shares outstanding, and (B) 5,883,465 Shares and warrants to acquire 3,824,252 Shares held by the Foundation, representing approximately 15.7% of the Shares outstanding.  These percentages are based on 58,152,792 Shares outstanding on February 27, 2015, plus, for purposes of calculating Mr. Schuler’s, Ms. Schuler’s and the Foundation’s beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Exchange Act, the 3,824,252 Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by the Foundation.

As sole trustee of the Trust, Mr. Schuler shares with the Trust the power to vote or direct the vote, and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of, the 2,604,166 Shares held by the Trust.

As President and Secretary of the Foundation, Mr. Shuler shares with the Foundation the power to vote or direct the vote, and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of, the 5,883,465 Shares and warrants to acquire 3,824,252 Shares held by the Foundation.  Ms. Schuler, as Treasurer of the Foundation and Mr. Schuler’s spouse, is also deemed to share the power to vote or to direct the vote, and the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, the 5,883,465 Shares and warrants to acquire 3,824,252 Shares held by the Foundation.

(c)  As of the date hereof, no transactions in the Shares had been effected by the Reporting Persons within the past 60 days, except as set forth in this Schedule 13D.

(d)  Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person had the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares covered by this Schedule 13D.

(e)  Not applicable.
