Topical Anesthetic Bioadhesive (TAB)
Topical Anesthetic Bioadhesive (TAB) is a biomaterial used in dental procedures and healing of aesthetic treatments (example: tattoos). TABs are biomaterials compatible with commercial drugs established in the market as anesthetics, anti-inflammatory and healing agents.
Ease of application is one of the main advantages when using TABs. For being a flexible adhesive, it can be easily adapted to the needs of the treatment, as the TAB can be cut in several sizes.
TABs also reduce the treatment period. According to a clinical test, when applied to the oral mucosa, the analgesia peak occurs in up to 2 minutes, since the active ingredient is in longer contact with the injury.
