Encaustic Art. Encaustic artists like Asheville painter Julia Fosson use beeswax, damar resin and pigment instead of oils or watercolors to create abstract flower paintings and abstract landscape paintings that seem to float off the surface. Encaustic paintings, unlike other works of art, donât need to be framed.
TOOTH PAIN. OTC oral anesthetics for tooth pain include products containing 5% to 20% benzocaine or 0.5% phenol (Table). Currently, there are no products marketed for pediatric teething pain that contain 0.5% phenol.
Local anesthetic agents in dentistry[edit] The most commonly used local anesthetic is lidocaine (also called xylocaine or lignocaine), a modern replacement for procaine (also known as novocaine). Its half-life in the body is about 1.5â2 hours. Other local anesthetic agents in current use include articaine (also called septocaine or ubistesin), bupivacaine (a long-acting anesthetic), and mepivacaine. A combination of these may be used depending on the situation.
