**5. Conclusions and perspectives**

This chapter highlighted the importance of laser ablation phenomenon that underlies the processing of biomaterials.

Laser ablation of biomaterials is an important and complex field. This domain was explored since long time, but there are a lot of natural or inorganic biomaterials, which wait to be developed and understood.

PLD and MAPLE techniques are of interest for thin film deposition, allowing varying some parameters to achieve the optimum conditions for the selected biomaterial. They permit the stoichiometric transfer. In case of PLD, the depositions are obtained from a solid target, as compared to MAPLE in which the target is a cryogenic mixture.

Sensitive biomaterials can be processed only by MAPLE, to avoid the chemical decomposition. The deposition of calcium phosphates (CaP) as thin films can be done by both techniques. Physical-chemical and biological analyses in the field of CaP recommend these coatings as potential biomaterial for the development of medical implants.
