Dynamic Pressure Sensing (DPS™) Technology
The STA System is equipped with an innovative DPS™ Technology which
provides the user with “Real-Time” feedback of the actual pressures read at the
tip of the needle during an anesthetic injection. The real time pressure is read
many times per second and shown on the pressure sensing gauge. Clinical
research has shown that successful Intraligmentary injections are associated
with relatively high injection pressures. The DPS technology provides the user
with a feedback mechanism to indicate these higher pressures and thus guide
the proper placement of the needle tip. The DPS Technology is only activated in
the STA mode.
STA-Intraligamentary Injection
The STA System provides DPS™ technology that is capable of identifying
specific tissues during the dental injection. The STA mode allows the practitioner
to accurately identify the periodontal ligament tissue. It also enables the clinician
to maintain the correct needle position within the periodontal ligament when
performing the newly described STA-Intraligamentary Injection. Developed by Dr.
Mark Hochman, the STA-Intraligamentary Injection represents a new concept in
local dental anesthesia techniques.
The STA System is the only anesthesia system that provides clinicians with the 3
critical elements of information when performing a STA-Intraligamentary
Injection:
1. It guides the clinician to position the needle tip to the periodontal ligament.
2. It provides ongoing feedback that ensures the needle has not moved during
the procedure.
3. It alerts the dentist if there is a needle blockage or any leakage in the system.
