An external magnetic actuator for use in adjusting an implantable medical device having a magnetically actuatable rotatable portion, such as an intramedullary (EVI) lengthening nail is disclosed. The actuator may include a magnet having opposite major surfaces representing opposite poles of the magnet. The magnet may be contained within an actuator body having first and second handles coupled to first and second opposing side walls of the housing. The actuator body may also include one or more projections operable to prevent first and/or second walls of the actuator body from lying flat against an external planar surface. Also provided are various kits and systems that include a disclosed external magnetic actuator and methods for using the disclosed external magnetic actuator.

A leucite glass-ceramic is prepared from a glass comprising: about 66.8 to about 71.9 mol % of SiO, about 8.5 to about 10.6 mol % of AlO, about 9.5 to about 12.8 mol % of KO, about 0.5 to about 4.0 mol % of CaO, about 0 to about 3.0 mol % of TiO, about 1.8 to about 4.0 mol % of NaO, about 0.1 to about 6.0 mol % of LiO, about 0 to about 1.0 mol % of MgO, about 0 to about 3.0 mol % of NbO, and about 0 to about 3.0 mol % of BO. The leucite glass-ceramic is prepared by subjecting the glass components to a nucleation heat treatment, followed by a growth heat treatment. The leucite glass-ceramic may be used in the fabrication of a Dental restoration using various processes, and may be used in the construction of Dental restorations such as ceramic Dental inlays, crowns, veneers, bridges, veneering materials for zirconium oxide restoration substrates, alumina oxide restoration substrates, or metal restoration substrates.

The present invention relates to a multicomponent oral health care composition, comprising a source of a fluoride ion, a source of a calcium ion, a source of a phosphate ion, and stabilized chlorine dioxide, that can be used as a toothpaste, oral spray or a mouth wash/oral rinse formulation. The different components in the composition act synergistically together to clean the teeth and mucous membranes of an oral cavity of a subject, perfuming them or protecting them in order to keep them in good condition, change their appearance or correct unpleasant odors. They achieve this by inhibiting caries, promoting teeth remineralization, and helping to alleviate dentine hypersensitivity, gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Multicomponent oral care composition

A bioactive glass composition comprising one or more glasses comprising Si02, P205 and a fluoride, the Si02 content being less than 40 mole %, the P205 content being at least 4 mole %, and the fluoride content being greater than 1 mole %. The bioactive glass or glass-ceramic can be used in a number of medical applications, including dental applications such as toothpaste.
