Milestone Scientific’s CompuDent Instrument
Since 1997, the coolest dentist offices in the world have all been treating their customers with a surprisingly awesome device from Milestone Scientific. Originally called The Wand, Milestone Scientific’s CompuDent Instrument revolutionized the way dentists deliver anesthesia for oral surgery. The CompuDent Instrument does not provide dentists with computer imaging technology to better visualize dental problems better; it makes the pain of oral surgery go away!
Computers are involved with the CompuDent Instrument, which delivers local anesthetic to oral surgery patients. Milestone Scientific realized that much of the fear of oral surgery – of all kinds – comes from a very rational fear of pain. The initial pain that patients felt when the oral surgeon or anesthesiologist first delivered the local anesthetic realized the fears of all those patients. The CompuDent Instrument eliminates that initial pain.
The CompuDent Instrument is a two-piece device that includes the computer injection system and the wand. When the dentist places the wand in the patient’s mouth, the computer injection system takes over. The CompuDent Instrument transfers local anesthetic to the gums, teeth and other precise targets in the oral cavity through the wand. After the wand is rooted, the CompuDent Instrument delivers the anesthetic painlessly.
The painless aspect of the CompuDent Instrument is its big selling point and the computer-assisted injection system makes the injection painless. The initial pain of receiving local anesthetic usually comes from the pressure of the anesthetic being blasted into the tissue during the initial injection. The CompuDent Instrument eliminates that initial pain by monitoring the pressure in the tissues surrounding the wand and adjusting the anesthetic injection and drip accordingly. Through precision measurements and adjustments, the CompuDent Instrument makes the injections painless. This frees up your oral surgeon to pay attention to the procedure they are doing, not your pain management.
The CompuDent Instrument’s precision delivery had an unexpected secondary benefit. Because the CompuDent Instrument provides precise levels of local anesthetic exactly where you need it, the device all but eliminated peripheral numbing. If you are having your wisdom tooth extracted, the anesthetic will not be so strong as to numb your lips or cheek when delivered with the CompuDent Instrument. That precision also leads to faster recovery times, as your body metabolizes the discrete, targeted local anesthetic better.
While there have been many advances in computer imaging technology and data storage devices that have inarguably aided dentists, it is hard to argue with the benefit of a device that causes patients less pain. The CompuDent Instrument helps make going to the dentist painless and that is very cool.
