    WHAT:   Demonstrations of the STA System
            Learn first-hand how Milestone's patented, award-winning 
            technology is empowering dental practitioners to:
            
            -- painlessly deliver a PDL (single tooth) injection as the only 
               injection needed (no block necessary), thus eliminating onset 
               time of anesthesia and collateral numbing;
            -- perform ALL dental injections;
            -- give much more comfortable injections with materially lower 
               pressure during administration; 
            -- achieve placement of a larger volume of drug and much more rapid 
               onset and duration of anesthesia;
            -- minimize tissue reactions;
            -- provide for a safer, more positive experience for the patient 
               and the dentist; and
            -- enhance practice efficiencies.

The STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System™ takes the guesswork out of the administration of anesthetic by providing real-time visual and audible feedback via Milestone's patented CompuFlo® with DPS™ technology.  During an injection with the STA System, CompuFlo with DPS continuously monitors the exit pressure of the anesthetic in real-time during all phases of administration. In   addition to its general use for all dental injections, the STA System is uniquely capable of predictably and more comfortably administering "Single Tooth Anesthesia" into the Periodontal Intraligamentary (PDL) space, something never before possible using conventional techniques. This injection results in the patient having no collateral numbness and no pain along with instant, predictable anesthesia.  The benefits of administering injections with the award-winning STA instrument are significant for the patient, the dentist and the business of dentistry.  

The Midwinter Meeting is among the top three dental meetings in the U.S. and one of the top 10 conventions in Chicago.  Each year, more than 600 exhibiting companies participate in the meeting, creating one of the largest exhibits of dental products and manufacturers in North America.  The theme for the 2010 Midwinter Meeting is "Go West, CDS".  The Midwinter Meeting annually attracts more than 34,000 dental professionals from around the world.  It was again recognized by Tradeshow Week as one of the Top 200 trade shows in 2008.
