The mere thought of a needle can send shivers down the spines of many patients. Unfortunately, a single painful injection experience can leave a lasting emotional scar, potentially affecting a person's perception of dental care for life. What patients often don't realize is that it's not the needle itself causing the pain, but rather the pressure from the liquid being injected.
For children and adults with a fear of needles, building confidence is of utmost importance. Pain-free injections can be a pivotal tool in establishing trust. When patients trust their dentist, they are more likely to return for regular visits and recommend the practice to others.
Enter new technology like the Calaject CCLAD System, offering a solution that can revolutionize the injection experience. This small, computerized device, designed with a pen grip, administers anesthesia slowly, resulting in a virtually pain-free injection. It's a single instrument that covers all dental local anesthesia needs, including intraligamental injections, infiltrations, and regional nerve blocks. Plus, it doesn't require any special consumables; it works seamlessly with standard dental needles and cartridges.
The system's ability to control the flow rate ensures a smooth and gentle administration of anesthesia, even for palatal injections. The light pen grip provides a relaxed working position, and stable needle placement is made easy. Additionally, the system monitors tissue resistance and automatically shuts off if resistance becomes too high, guaranteeing a pain-free experience for the patient.
One significant benefit is that patients can leave the clinic without the discomfort of a numb cheek, tongue, and lip, as well as without soreness in the soft tissue later on.
Furthermore, the learning curve for Calaject is remarkably short, making it an indispensable tool for pain-free treatments. Dentists who use it can take pride in providing anesthesia without any discomfort to their patients.
Another advantage is the speed at which Calaject works. It allows dentists to begin their work immediately, without waiting for the anesthesia to take effect. This efficiency can be especially valuable when dealing with restless children in the chair.
In terms of ergonomics, Calaject offers a clear advantage over manual injections. Dentists no longer need to bend their wrists and press the plunger simultaneously; instead, they can sit back, relax, and inject with ease. The handpiece is well-balanced and easy to control, reducing strain.
Key Features:
- Ergonomic design with a small footprint
- Visual displays and auditory signals for ease of use
- Precise control over the flow of local anesthetic
- Automated aspiration for added safety
