Milestone Scientific Inc. , a medical company that develops and commercializes a growing portfolio of proprietary injection technologies, today announced that the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh will now utilize The Wand® computer assisted anesthesia system for its pediatric patients. In addition, The Wand® will be incorporated into the curriculum for the Pediatric Residency Program.

The Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh’s Division of Pediatric Dentistry provides comprehensive preventive, restorative and oral maxillofacial surgical procedures for healthy as well as medically compromised and handicapped children.  The dental clinic sees over 23,000 children per year.

Daniel Goldberger, Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific stated, “We are delighted to see a growing number of dental residency programs and clinics, including those run by large hospitals such as the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh not only adopting The Wand®, but making it part of their curriculum.  Our technology is particularly well suited for children, as we can deliver comfortable and effective, single tooth anesthesia, providing a safer and more pleasant experience. We are pleased to see our technology incorporated into the curriculum for specialty residents, as they represent the next generation of dental specialists.  We expect these newly graduated specialty dentists will become lifetime users of The Wand® once they experience the advantages and reduced complications when using our technology
