Maximize the Benefits of Computer-Controlled Local Anesthesia Delivery

By Kathy Bassett, RDH, MEd, Art DiMarco, DMD

The introduction of computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery (CCLAD) has simplified pain management in the dental setting. Ensuring patient comfort is integral not only to treatment outcomes but also in creating a positive dental experience for patients, to support compliance and their return for follow-up care. CCLAD devices deliver local anesthetic drugs in a slow and controlled manner compared with traditional manual syringes. They help improve patient comfort during local anesthesia administration and can be especially helpful for patients with a fear of injections, as the needle is less visible than in manual syringes.
