Injection Dynamics

There are three basic stages of a dental injection and, therefore, three opportunities for a patient to feel discomfort: the initial needle Puncture, the Penetration of the needle to the injection site, and the Delivery of the anesthetic solution. The CompuDent(TM)'s controlled flow and pressure technology and related techniques will allow you to give an easier, consistently more comfortable injection, even in the dense tissue of the palate. A Pre-Puncture technique has been developed for the initial tissue Puncture; an Anesthetic Pathway is used to Penetrate the needle through the tissue; and the Delivery of the anesthetic is below the patient's Pain Threshold. The design of the Wand® handpiece also allows easy rotation, reducing the force necessary to penetrate tissue and canceling needle deflection.
