Filler


Definition:

  • (n.) One who, or that which, fills; something used for filling.

  • (20) The tendency of composites to leach filler elements almost linearly with time, could be used to generate a constant release rate of such therapeutic elements over time.

Pigment


Definition:

  • (n.) Any material from which a dye, a paint, or the like, may be prepared; particularly, the refined and purified coloring matter ready for mixing with an appropriate vehicle.
  • (n.) Any one of the colored substances found in animal and vegetable tissues and fluids, as bilirubin, urobilin, chlorophyll, etc.
  • (n.) Wine flavored with species and honey.
