CDA 2012: Video interview with Milestone Scientific about the STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System® Unit

Dr. Eugene Casagrande, DDS, Milestone Scientific Director of International and Professional Relations, discusses the innovative STA SIngle Tooth Anesthesia System Unit.

"The STA device is a computer-controlled delivery system that takes the place of a syringe, which we have been using for 160 years," said Casagrande. "It can do all the same injections a syringe does, using the same drugs that that are used with a syringe."

Using the STA's wand handpiece gives dentists the ability to do injections that are impossible to do with a syringe. it's possible to numb the pallet, and multiple teeth without numbing the lip.

"It's the most important thing to our patients. As long as we can make it as comfortable as possible for them, they really appreciate and they do send in new patients and they are your patients for life," said Casagrande.
