DENTSPLY Midwest® has intro- duced a handpiece with Speed-Sens- ing Intelligence (SSI) and Superior Turbine Suspension (STS), tech- nologies that solve two longstand- ing challenges facing dentists: load- based variations in speed that can cause stalling and require time-con- suming feathering and bur deflec- tion and chattering that occur at high speeds and can affect accuracy and precision. The Midwest Stylus™ ATC’s Speed Sensing Intelligence (SSI) auto- matically optimizes the delivery of power, no matter the load, to provide smooth, consistent cutting speeds for unmatched efficiency and fastest removal of material — an industry first. Its Superior Turbine Suspension (STS) allows the handpiece to oper- ate at speeds of 330,000 RPM under load with no noticeable bur deflec- tion or chattering. This provides out- standing control time after time. No handpiece on the market addresses these challenges so effectively. The result is a cutting experience that is smoother and more effortless, efficient and more powerful than any other handpiece being offered today. The website, found at www.Stylu- sATC.com, provides clinical experi- ences and technological presenta- tions as well as additional product information, user testimonials and product reviews.

Dr. Len Litkowski, DDS, and director of professional relations and clinical research for DENT- SPLY Professional stated: “This is the greatest breakthrough in high- speed, air-driven handpieces since their introduction by Midwest in the 1950s. Bringing electronic control to the dental handpiece to provide a constant speed, even under load, will make the dentist’s experience more efficient, effective and stress- free.” In addition to Speed-Sensing Intelligence and Superior Turbine Suspension, Stylus ATC offers these advantages: • Most powerful air-driven hand- piece available • Exceptional swivel for freedom of movement • Low pitch and tone for more relaxed Patient and Dentist • Mini and mid-size heads avail- able for exceptional visibility • Light weight for all-day comfort Regular and short shank bur compatibility • Brilliant fiber optic light for superior illumination Free in-office demonstrations can be arranged.

It is valuable for cosmetic restor- ative dentistry procedures such as composites, veneers and crowns because you can immediately assess the patient’s smile line when the lip is used as a reference point. The P-ASA is also useful for end- odontic, periodontal and implant pro- cedures. In fact, it is recommended as the primary injection for any or all of the six maxillary anterior teeth. During administration and post- operatively, the P-ASA is a very com- fortable injection for your patients because of the STA computer-con- trolled flow rate below the patient’s pain threshold, the use of minimal pressure and the ability to easily con- trol the needle using the wand hand- piece. Check out the simple injection tech- nique for the P-ASA on the STAis4U. com website. Milestone Scientific asserts it’s easy to do, you’ll like it and so will your patients. DT The STA Injection System, a com- puter-controlled local anesthetic deliv- ery or C-CLAD (Fig. 1), is not only great for single-tooth anesthesia but is also very useful for administering multiple-tooth anesthesia injections such as the palatal-approach anterior superior alveolar nerve block (P-ASA). The P-ASA is a single-site palatal injection into the nasopalatine canal (Fig. 2), which can produce bilateral anesthesia to six anterior teeth and the related facial and palatal gingival tis- sues (Fig. 3) without causing collateral numbness to the patient’s upper lip, face and muscles of facial expression (Fig. 4). Patients have said they really appreciate this. Using significantly less anesthet- ic, this easy-to-administer injection can take the place of at least four supraperiosteal buccal infiltrations STA: essential for cosmetic dentistry System works well for P-ASA injections Fig. 1: STA System Fig. 2: Nasal-palatine canal site Fig. 3: Collateral numbness Fig. 4: Scope of anesthesia (Photos/Provided by Milestone Scientific) Missed the latest editions of Dental Tribune?
