GENEVA, Switzerland: Research underscores that the ability to administer a pain-free injection is the most critical factor in patients’ satisfaction with their dental care provider. In this regard, Juvaplus, a leading Swiss medical technology company, has highlighted the continued success of its Dentapen, a cutting-edge robotic syringe that has been transforming pain management in dental care. Over the past five years, Dentapen has consistently provided patients with a superior, virtually pain-free injection experience.

Dentapen uses advanced technology to precisely control the flow of anaesthetic, providing a smooth and almost painless experience. Unlike conventional manual syringes, Dentapen controls the speed of administration and continuously adjusts the pressure applied during the injection of anaesthetic, effectively eliminating discomfort associated with pressure fluctuations.

Drs Jean-Frédéric André and Dominique Milhé, two prominent dentists and owners of the Andre and Milhe Dental Sedation Clinic in Geneva, are early adopters of Dentapen. “Dentapen has become an essential tool in our practice for several reasons. Its high-tech aspect and sleek design initially caught our attention, and then its compact size and light weight, coupled with complete autonomy (no cords or foot pedals), won us over. We’ve moved far beyond the traditional syringe, which can often induce fear in patients simply owing to its appearance,” Dr André said in a press release.

“With its ergonomic handle and remarkable ease of use, Dentapen facilitates all local and loco-regional anaesthesia with automatic aspiration. The injections are delivered at a gradual and consistent flow, making them nearly painless,” Dr Milhé continued.

“Dentapen is an innovation that has quickly been integrated into our workflow. However, the ultimate deciding factor is, of course, patient satisfaction. When a patient enquires about the source of the quiet motor sound and learns that you’ve just administered local anaesthetic, you can truly appreciate their relief from their smile!” he concluded.
