Additives and Fillers in Concrete

Additives and Fillers in Concrete

Additives and fillers are integral to enhancing the properties of concrete. Pozzolans and blast-furnace slag are additives or admixtures due to their reactions with calcium hydroxide released during cement hydration. Fillers, which are finely ground and similar in fineness to Portland cement, improve concrete attributes such as workability density, and reduce capillary bleeding or cracking. Some fillers possess hydraulic properties or participate in benign reactions within the cement paste.

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

The Bone Matrix

The Bone Matrix

Bone contains a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of collagen fibers that provide an adherent surface for inorganic salt crystals. Both components of the matrix, organic and inorganic, contribute to the unusual properties of bone. Without collagen, bones would be brittle and shatter easily. Without mineral crystals, bones would flex and provide little support. This can be observed by an experiment: when the minerals of a bone are dissolved by soaking the bone in acid or...

Glycosaminoglycans

Glycosaminoglycans

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), also known as mucopolysaccharides, are long and linear polymers comprising of specific repeating disaccharides - the amino sugar that can be N-acetylglucosamine or N-acetylgalactosamine, and a uronic acid that is usually glucuronic acid or iduronic acid.
GAGS are found in the extracellular matrix of vertebrates, invertebrates, and bacteria. Due to their polar nature they attract water, and serve as excellent lubricants or shock absorbers in an animal body.
Hyaluronic...

Hydration of Cement

Hydration of Cement

Hydration of cement is a chemical reaction between cement particles and water. This process occurs primarily through two mechanisms: through-solution and topochemical. In the through-solution process, anhydrous compounds dissolve into their constituents, hydrates form in the solution, and then precipitate from the supersaturated solution. The topochemical process involves solid-state reactions at the cement particle surface. The through-solution process dominates the topochemical process at the...

Background:

Dermal fillers are widely used for facial augmentation.
Various filler materials exist, each with distinct properties and clinical applications.
Calcium hydroxyapatite offers potential advantages in longevity and efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe clinical experience with calcium hydroxyapatite fillers.
To compare calcium hydroxyapatite fillers with other available dermal filler products.
To evaluate the efficacy and duration of calcium hydroxyapatite for facial augmentation.

Main Methods:

Clinical case review of patients treated with calcium hydroxyapatite fillers.
Comparative analysis of calcium hydroxyapatite versus other filler types (e.g., hyaluronic acid, poly-L-lactic acid).
Assessment of treatment outcomes, including volume required, duration of effect, and patient satisfaction.

Main Results:

Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers demonstrated significant longevity in midface and lower face augmentation.
Less product volume was required with calcium hydroxyapatite compared to some other fillers for comparable results.
The duration of action for calcium hydroxyapatite was noted to be extended, reducing the need for frequent retreatment.

Conclusions:

Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers present unique advantages for facial volumization, particularly in the midface and lower face.
Their extended duration and efficiency in volume replacement make them a valuable option in aesthetic practice.
Further comparative studies support the role of calcium hydroxyapatite in achieving sustained facial rejuvenation.
