     This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on May 17, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 8, 2010 and Amendment No. 2 filed on June 11, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule 13D”), by the Reporting Person relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) of Biolase Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Information reported in the Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, supplemented, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
Item 1 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     This Amendment, which relates to the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock, is being filed to supplement the disclosure in Item 4 and amend and restate Item 7 of the Schedule 13D. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 4 Cromwell, Irvine, California 92618.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
     As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 1 to the Original Filing, which the Reporting Person filed with the SEC on June 8, 2010, the Reporting Person delivered a letter to the Secretary of the Issuer requesting that the Secretary call a special stockholder meeting by June 9, 2010. As of the date hereof, the Secretary has not called such meeting. Given the failure of the Secretary to call such meeting and the importance of the matters for which the Reporting Person requested such meeting to the Issuer’s stockholders, on June 16, 2010, at the direction of the Reporting Person, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., as a nominee and non-discretionary custodial agent of the Reporting Person, sent a letter (the “Written Consent Letter”) to the Secretary of the Issuer requesting that the Board of Directors of the Issuer fix a record date for stockholders entitled to take action by written consent with respect to the following matters: (i) removal of all persons serving as directors of the Issuer, other than himself and Mr. David M. Mulder; (ii) appointment of three new directors to fill the vacancies created by the removal of certain of the existing directors; and (iii) amend Article 3, Section 3.2 of the Bylaws to set the Board size at five with the ability of the Board to set a different size by the unanimous vote of all members of the Board.
     The Reporting Person intends to file a proxy statement with the SEC for purposes of soliciting proxies in relation to the foregoing stockholder action by written consent and plans to engage Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist him in the solicitation of such proxies. The Reporting Person will view any action by the Issuer to issue additional securities on or after the date hereof as part of the Board’s efforts to entrench itself and disenfranchise the Issuer’s existing stockholders.
     A copy of the Written Consent Letter is filed herewith and attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated by reference herein. The description of the Written Consent Letter is qualified it its entirety by reference to the attached Exhibit 3.
Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.
Item 7 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
  Exhibit 1  —  Letter to Secretary of Biolase Technology, Inc., dated June 7, 2010 (filed as Exhibit 1 to Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, filed on June 8, 2010).
 
  Exhibit 2  —  Response Letter from Special Committee of Board of Directors of Biolase Technology, Inc. to Federico Pignatelli, dated June 10, 2010 (filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on June 11, 2010).
 
  Exhibit 3  —  Letter to Secretary of Biolase Technology, Inc., dated June 16, 2010.
