LIVINGSTON, N.J., Sept. 12 /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 California Dental Association (CDA) 2008 Fall Scientific Session.
The state-of-the-art STA System is Milestone's latest achievement in computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery (C-CLAD) that makes the injection process more comfortable for both dentists and patients. Marketed for use by dental practitioners to painlessly administer all dental injections, the STA System is uniquely capable of administering "Single Tooth Anesthesia" into the Peridontal Intraligamentary (PDL) space, something never before possible using conventional techniques.
According to a December 2007 article published in Contemporary Dental Assistant magazine, "The (STA) instrument is highly effective in all areas of the oral cavity, including those areas of dense connective tissue, such as the hard palate. Dentists can provide traditional block anesthesia and infiltration injections with this technology; however, special techniques also may be employed to provide local anesthesia to the precise teeth targeted for treatment via the periodontal ligament (PDL) injection. The routine side effects of facial and lingual numbness from a traditional anesthetic injection soon may be a thing of the past."
NOTE TO PRESS: To arrange one-on-one interviews with Mr. Presutti, 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.
