The Dental Anesthesia Revolution Starts Now !

 Recognized global leader in advanced injection

technologies
◦ Milestone’s revolutionary injection systems are
currently sold through the Company’s global distributor
network to dental professionals worldwide.
◦ Customer base spans over 25 countries
◦ Responsible for over 30 million computer controlled
injections worldwide.
◦ Supported by an unmatched number of clinical studies
 Avoid the Block by
incorporating the STA-System
into your practice.
 One or two minute injection
with immediate onset of
profound anesthesia.
 A precise tool in your hand
allows you to consistently and
accurately delivery single tooth
anesthesia every time.
 Eliminates the collateral
numbing of cheek, lip and
tongue.
 Not have to wait 8 to 12 minutes to find out if your syringe
missed the Block.
 Use the Intraligamentary (PDL) injection as your primary
and only injection and have it last as long as the Block.
 Obtain profound anesthesia instantly and painlessly.
 Perform dentistry on the mandibular right and left (bi-lateral)
during the same visit without the Block.
 Convert your most difficult patient within your practice into
your most pleasant patient using a magic wand in your
armentarium.
 Replace 150-year old hypodermic syringe technology
• The STA™ Delivery System – What is It?
 Based on Milestone’s patented
Dynamic Pressure Sensing (DPS ™)
technology
 Computer-controlled drive unit
 Ergonomically designed, single-use
disposable handpiece
 Real-time visual and audible
feedback that ensures a
successful, STA intraligamentary
(PDL) injection
 Proven through university studies
to be painless and produce no
histological damage.
 Uses DPS – Dynamic Pressure
Sensing technology
 Site-specific injection
 Used as primary anesthesia
 Dosage* of ¼ cartridge per
root
 Delivery time 1 or 2 minutes*
 Duration approximately 40-60
minutes of profound anesthesia

*Using 4% Articaine Hydrochloride 1:200,000 local anesthetic solution.

1 minute injection for single rooted tooth, 2 minute injection for multi-rooted tooth.

 Increased predictability
with DPS technology
 Simple to administer
 Immediate onset
 No collateral anesthesia
of cheek, lip and
tongue.
 No risk of intravascular
or trismus.
 No risk of tachycardia
 Increased productivity
and efficiency
Bi-laterial Mandibular
Restorative Dentistry
For Pediatric Dentistry…
 Clinically proven to significantly
reduces Disruptive Pain
Behavior in multiple independent
university trials.
 Non-threatening handpiece
reduces a child’s fear and
anxiety and ensures a more
manageable patient.
 STA Intraligamentary (PDL)
injection eliminates the
difficulties and risks of
performing a mandibular block
on the pediatric patient.
 Collateral anesthesia of cheek,
lip and tongue are eliminated.

Anterior Middle Superior Alveolar
Injection*
 Single injection for multiple

maxillary teeth – Central

incisor thru mesial of 1 st
molar.
 No collateral anesthesia to

facial tissues and lip.

 Reduced dosage of

anesthetic
 Improved clinical efficiency

 No risk of intravascular

injection
 Accurate smile-line

assessment

 Avoids the annoying droopy lip
syndrome.
 AMSA allows accurate smile
line assessment.

 Single palatal injection

approach.
 Use ControFlo Rate
exclusively.
 Pre-puncture technique
using needle bevel for
palate.
Palatal - Anterior Superior Alveolar
Injection*
 Single site injection for
multiple maxillary teeth – All
maxillary incisors and canine
teeth.
 No collateral anesthesia to
face and lip.
 Reduced dosage of
anesthetic
 Improved clinical efficiency
 No risk of intravascular
injection
*Friedman MJ, Hochman MN, J Esthetic Dent, April 1999
 Only technique - crossing
midline
 Single site injection for
multiple teeth
 Reduced dosage of
anesthetic
 Improved clinical efficiency
 No collateral anesthesia to
face and lip
 Accurate smile-line
assessment
 Inferior Alveolar Block
◦ Bi-Rotational insertion
eliminates needle
deflection
◦ Fewer missed blocks
◦ Increased tactile feel
◦ Improved visibility
◦ Improved comfort
Traditional
 Inferior Alveolar Block
 Maxillary Buccal
Infiltration

New
 STA – Intraligamentary (PDL)
injection
 AMSA
 P-ASA
Published Scientific Validation
For Esthetic & Restorative
Dentistry…
 AMSA:
◦ Allows accurate smile line
assessment
◦ Single site injection to anesthetize
multiple maxillary teeth.
◦ Bi-lateral AMSA’s give you
anesthesia of 8 maxillary teeth to
perform esthetic dentistry without
the droopy lip syndrome.
 P-ASA:
◦ Anesthetize all 4 maxillary incisors
from a single site palatal injection.
◦ Perform esthetic dentistry without
the droopy lip syndrome.
 STA Intraligamentary (PDL)
◦ Single tooth anesthesia advantages

 “CCLADS systems have increased the ability of doctors to guarantee the pain-free delivery of local
anesthesia to their patients. In my experience CCLADs make it easier to more comfortably deliver
those injections that are ‘difficult’ to administer painlessly. These include all palatal injections and
the periodontal ligament (PDL) techniques.”
