Advanced local anesthesia encompasses a range of techniques and technologies designed to enhance pain control and improve patient comfort during dental procedures. These advancements go beyond traditional infiltration and nerve block methods, offering dentists more precise and effective ways to administer anesthesia.

Some key innovations include computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery systems (CCLAD) like The Wand or STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia), which allow for more controlled and less painful injections. These systems can deliver anesthetic at a constant pressure and volume, reducing discomfort and increasing the predictability of anesthesia onset.
