LIVINGSTON, N.J., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Milestone Scientific, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MLSS), the recognized leader in advanced injection technologies used by medical and dental professionals worldwide, today announced that it has been recognized by Dentaltown Magazine as the winner of a "2006 Townie Choice Award" for its CompuDent(TM)/The Wand(R) local anesthetic delivery system.

Winning for the category entitled "Anesthetics: Technique System", CompuDent is Milestone's proprietary, patented computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system which delivers anesthesia at a precise and consistent rate below a patient's pain threshold. Using an ergonomically designed hand piece called The Wand, all traditional and newer injections, such as AMSA, P-ASA and Modified-PDL, are more comfortable and easier to deliver. Moreover, the pen-like grasp of The Wand allows bi-directional rotation during injection, which prevents needle deflection that can occur with a traditional syringe. A straighter path results in a more accurate injection, meaning fewer missed blocks, and more rapid onset of anesthesia.

"We are very proud to have been distinguished by the dental industry with this award, which serves as an exciting testament to CompuDent's many noted benefits and advantages over other injection alternatives. Moreover, it goes a long way in helping to reinforce our stated belief that CompuDent is indeed the professional dentists' choice for local, painless anesthetic injections," stated Milestone Chairman and CEO Leonard Osser.
