Fillers are used for facial sculpturing and anti-ageing treatments with increasing popularity. The optimal outcome of any filler treatment depends upon different factors: exact indication, known limitations, filler product, and filler placement. For volumizing effect and longevity of procedures, however, the interaction of fillers and facial fat pads seems to be crucial. Here, we will review th...

In this study, trace amounts of and Ce elements were composite added into a Ag10CuZnSn low-silver brazing filler metal, the effects alloying on solidus liquidus temperatures, spreading performance, microstructure mechanical properties joints prepared with these metals studied. The results reveal that element can significantly decrease temperatures alloy, while has little effect melting temperat...

The purpose of this article is to illustrate a new classification of resin based aesthetic materials laying on the characterization of their matrix and their filler morphology. Four samples per material have been prepared for SEM evaluation. Each sample has been treated with chloroform to dissolve its matrix in order to evidence the filler morphology. A general schema of four different matrix s...

Over the last decade, there has been a shift in the way aesthetic surgeons approach facial rejuvenation. With recognition of the value of volume enhancement in achieving a more youthful appearance, as well as the ease of office procedures offering minimal downtime and predictable results, there has been a concomitant explosion in the soft tissue filler market. Given the vast array of filler pro...

The photo-curing behavior of composites containing nanosized SiO2 in an acrylated hyperbranched polymer matrix was investigated by means of photo differential scanning calorimetry. The chemical conversion data were analyzed using an autocatalytic model, paying close attention to the influence of composition and UV intensity. It was shown that the reaction order and the autocatalytic exponent we...

A new type of needle system combines 2 parts, an inner needle and an outer needle. The inner needle is used for filler injection and the outer needle acts as a guiding needle that can observe blood reflow when inserting into the vessel lumen during injection process. This new needle system can be used for all kinds of filler, providing real time monitoring for physician and preventing intravasc...

The flexural strength and flexural modulus of an experimental metal-resin composite, which used Ag-In alloy particle as the filler, were evaluated. The effect of acid treatment and heat treatment on the Ag-In alloy particle was investigated. The flexural strength of the experimental metal-resin composites ranged from 65.5 MPa to 91.0 MPa. The flexural strength of the metal-resin composite incre...
