D014885	Waxes	A plastic substance deposited by insects or obtained from plants. Waxes are esters of various fatty acids with higher, usually monohydric alcohols. The wax of pharmacy is principally yellow wax (beeswax), the material of which honeycomb is made. It consists chiefly of cerotic acid and myricin and is used in making ointments, cerates, etc. (Dorland, 27th ed)
D015035	Zinc Oxide-Eugenol Cement	Used as a dental cement this is mainly zinc oxide (with strengtheners and accelerators) and eugenol. (Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed, p50)	Caryosan,Cement, Zinc Oxide-Eugenol,Oxide-Eugenol Cement, Zinc,Zinc Oxide Eugenol Cement
