Brasseler USA has recalled 440 units of its 8S RA Super-Sharp Round carbide dental burs because the grip detail on the right-angle latch was manufactured out of specification. This defect prevents the bur from properly latching into the dental handpiece during use. Without a secure connection, the bur could become loose or detached while in operation, potentially causing injury or disrupting medical procedures. These burs were distributed nationwide and in Canada between January and February 2024.
The dental bur may not securely latch into the handpiece, which can cause the rotating tool to slip or fall out during a dental procedure, potentially injuring the patient or the healthcare provider.
