Ablation refers to the removal or destruction of body tissue or abnormal growths using methods such as surgery, heat, hormones, or medications. It is commonly used in the treatment of various conditions, including cancers. For example, hormonal therapy may be used as an alternative to surgical removal in certain cases of breast cancer when surgery is not suitable. In dentistry, hard tooth tissue can be removed using erbium laser ablation, sometimes combined with a water spray. Other forms include endometrial ablation, radiofrequency ablation, and radioiodine ablation.
