LIVINGSTON, N.J., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Milestone Scientific Inc. , the recognized leader in advanced injection technologies, today announced that it will be showcasing and demonstrating its award winning STA(TM) System at the upcoming American Dental Association (ADA) 2008 Annual Session.
The STA System is a patented, computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery system that incorporates the "pressure force feedback" elements of Milestone's patented CompuFlo technology, thereby allowing dentists to administer injections accurately into the periodontal ligament space, effectively anesthetizing a single tooth. While the periodontal ligament injection has been around for some time, there has been no effective technology that allows dentists to easily perform the procedure painlessly, safely and predictably until now. This unique procedure allows dentists to perform STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia) easily and predictably as the only injection necessary to anesthetize a single tooth.
NOTE TO PRESS: To arrange a one-on-one interview with one of Milestone's attending representatives, or to schedule a personal demonstration of the STA System, please contact John Morrison or Tiffany Korkis, Directors, Elite Media Group, at 407-585-1080 or via email at MLSS@efcg.net.
