New local anesthetic (articaine)
My dentist used this one on me today. Said it's stronger and shorter acting than lidocaine. Apparently it took forever for the FDA to let it into
the US. My mouth is sure numb, so I guess it works.

Well, there's such a diversity of local anesthetics nowadays that they don't all fit the same mold.
Here is a good link

As far as the complexity: I just got a new Merck Index. This chemical is *nothing* compared to a lot of the pharmaceuticals nowadays...

Yep, 13th edition. My well-worn 8th edition get an honorable retirement.
There's some truly wacky anesthetics nowadays.
