Overview

Learn how to deliver more comfortable dental injections.

Using Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology, learn how to comfortably and successfully deliver profound anesthesia to a single tooth, offering an alternative to Mandibular Blocks and Infiltrations.

Learn how to easily anesthetize multiple teeth and related tissues with a single-site injection that does not cause collateral numbness to the patient’s lip and face.

This course will review the technology and injection dynamics associated with computer-controlled anesthetic delivery systems, along with a description of techniques for new, state-of-the-art injections such as the AMSA, P-ASA, STA-Intraligamentary, and Crestal.

Key Learning Objectives

1. The technology of Computer Controlled Local Anesthesia Delivery (CLAD)
2. The technique for delivery of the STA-Intraligamentary Injection, which can eliminate the need for supra-periosteal infiltrations and mandibular blocks and their associated post-treatment collateral anesthesia in dental patients
3. The techniques and injection dynamics associated with the administration of comfortable palatal injections (AMSA & P-ASA) which can anesthetize multiple maxillary teeth and related gingival tissues without collateral anesthesia to the patient’s lip or face.
4. How to easily anesthetize a single tooth with efficacy, safety, and comfort, but without producing collateral numbness and possible injury to a child’s lips or tongue
5. How to minimize a child’s disruptive behavior and your stress during the administration of local anesthesia for pediatric patients.
6. A new injection technique (the Crestal Injection) to produce profound anesthesia and increased hemostasis in the placement and recovery of dental implants.
7. Why a computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery instrument can produce more successful, comfortable, and less stressful dental injections and can produce many benefits to you, your patients, and your practice.
