Computer-assisted anaesthesia in dentistry
Full comfort during dental treatment is ensured by anaesthesia. However, the one administered in the traditional form, i.e. by injection, is associated with an unpleasant sensation of inserting a needle and an unpleasant sensation of spreading in the place of administering the drug. At the Koryzna Clinic dental surgery in Szczecin, patients benefit from a modern system of painless anaesthesia – Quick Sleeper.
What does it involve?
The Quick Sleeper is an innovative computer-assisted anaesthesia system. A microprocessor in the device controls the speed of the anaesthetic drug administration. The process of administering the anaesthetic is precise and completely painless for the patient. The drug is injected directly into the bone near the tooth. What is more, the anaesthetic is administered at the so-called physiological speed, so it is absorbed into the bone tissue slowly.
In the Quick Sleeper system, there is no phenomenon of injecting the drug under pressure, as is the case with a traditional injection.
With computer anaesthesia, we do not have to wait for the drug to take effect. The result is immediate and the patient feels no pain in an area of 2 to 6 teeth (depending on the amount of drug administered).
Quick Sleeper does not anaesthetise the soft tissues, i.e. the lips or tongue. The patient does not feel an unpleasant sensation of numbness. Quick Sleeper dental anaesthesia is completely safe, poses no risk of complications (e.g. soft tissue necrosis), and is effective even when the pain is as intense as that of dental pulpitis. It can be used in all types of dental treatment, from caries to extractions to implants.
How does computer-assisted anaesthesia work?
The Quick Sleeper device looks like a pen ending in a special needle.
The dentist inserts the needle through the gum into the bone in an uninjured area. The entire anaesthesia process with the Quick Sleeper is completely painless for the patient.
Quick Sleeper uses a transcortical, or intrathecal, technique. The anaesthetic drug solution is delivered directly to the spongy bone surrounding the roots of the teeth.
Key advantages of the Quick Sleeper pain reduction system:
- immediate anaesthetic effect,
- patient comfort (no feeling of numbness on lips and tongue, as with traditional injectable,
- anaesthetics; patient can speak freely and rinse mouth afterwards),
- comfortable and safe for use also in children,
- one injection anaesthetises from 2 to 6 teeth,
- eliminates even intense pain resulting from pulp inflammation,
- can be used in all types of dental procedures, including implantology.
