Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block]	NOTE 2- LIQUIDITY AND UNCERTAINTIES The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Total losses since inception have been $121 million. The operating losses were $1.5 million and $5.1 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Management has prepared cash flow forecasts covering a period of 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. As a result of the forecast, management believes that the Company has sufficient cash, as a result of slowing down production on new technology, research, and development, terminating certain consulting agreements, and managing inventory purchases from our manufacturers. Additionally, the Company was approved on September 12, 2023 to sell Net Operating Losses through the New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program (“NJ NOL Program”), a program established by NJ Law and administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“NJEDA”). Management believes this will generate positive cash flow in the near future. Management has concluded that there is no substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Milestone Scientific is actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from operating activities through an increase in revenue from its dental business worldwide, the generation of revenue from its medical devices and disposables business in the United States and worldwide, and a reduction in operating expenses. However, the Company’s continued operations will depend on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources until it achieves profitability, if ever. In addition to its employees, the Company relies on (i) distributors, agents, and third-party logistics providers in connection with product sales and distribution, and (ii) raw material and component suppliers in the U.S., Europe, and China. If the Company, or any of these entities, encounter any disruptions to its or their respective operations or facilities, or if the Company or any of these third-party partners were to shut down for any reason, including by fire, natural disaster, such as a hurricane, tornado or severe storm, power outage, systems failure, labor dispute, pandemic or other public health crises, or other unforeseen disruption, then the Company or they may be prevented or delayed from effectively operating its or their business, respectively.
