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
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.
• The STA™ Delivery System – What is It?
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.
§ Hochman M. Compendium, April 2007
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.
More Comfortable injections.
Anterior Middle Superior Alveolar Injection*
Single injection for multiple maxillary teeth – Central incisor thru mesial of 1st 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*Friedman M, Hochman M Compendium Cont. Ed. Oct 1997*Friedman M, Hochman M Quintessence Int May 1998
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

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
Handbook of Local anesthesia 5th edition – Dr. Stanly Malamed “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.”
