Hybrid nanofilms as topical anesthetics for pain-free procedures in dentistry

Abstract Topical anesthetics are widely applied in order to relieve the discomfort and anxiety caused by needle insertion and other painful superficial interventions at the oral cavity. So far, there are no commercially available effective topical anesthetic formulations for that purpose, and the mo...
