CompuDent^® Instrument

In 1997, Milestone introduced the first generation of its Computer-Controlled Local Anesthetic Delivery (C-CLAD^™) system, known as The Wand^® (and later rebranded as CompuDent^®).  This system is composed of two basic parts, the delivery instrument and the single-use, disposable Wand handpiece.  The Wand/CompuDent instrument provides painless injections for all routine dental treatments including root canals, crowns, fillings and cleanings.  With more than 18,000 CompuDent instruments sold within four and one half months of its market introduction, this represented the most successful launch in the history of small equipment sales in U.S. dentistry.  

Moreover, the CompuDent instrument has been favorably reviewed in more than 50 peer-reviewed and independent clinical research reports and has been featured in numerous contemporary textbooks on Dentistry.  In fact, the CompuDent instrument has been prominently featured in the leading text book on dental anesthesia, Handbook of Local Anesthesia, authored by Stanley F. Malamed, DDS, current Professor of Anesthesia and Medicine at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. 

Widely heralded as a revolutionary device and considered one of the major advances in Dentistry in the 20th Century, the CompuDent instrument delivers numerous, well documented benefits:

• The CompuDent instrument eliminates the pain associated with single tooth, palatal, mandibular block and all other injections, resulting in a more comfortable injection experience for the patient.
