Digital Anesthesia (WAND/STA) — Painless Pediatric Dental Treatment Ataşehir

Digital anesthesia (WAND/STA system) is a computer-controlled local anesthesia application. It offers a much more precise, controlled, and nearly painless anesthesia experience compared to traditional syringes; the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and the American Dental Association (ADA) consider it safe in pediatric patients.

The system controls the delivery rate and pressure of the anesthetic agent via computer. In STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia) mode, DPS (Dynamic Pressure Sensing) technology numbs a single tooth in isolation — the child's cheek, lip, and tongue retain normal sensation, and post-treatment bite trauma risk is virtually eliminated.

The primary cause of pain in traditional injections is the uncontrolled speed and pressure with which the anesthetic is delivered. The digital anesthesia system completely eliminates this; the agent is delivered at a very slow, constant pressure.

The digital anesthesia device also looks different from a traditional syringe. Its pen-like design eliminates the visual needle anxiety in children; when combined with Tell-Show-Do behavior management, in-clinic treatment success increases significantly.
