Reason for Recall

The top label for dental implant may incorrectly indicate the implant length. Specifically, the label may contain 11.5mm for the length, which is shorter than the actual length of the implant (15mm). An incorrect sized implant may cause patient discomfort, permanent nerve damage and may require an additional surgery.
