DDS Lab has issued a recall for approximately 11,259 Temporary Titanium Abutments used in definitive dental implant restoration cases. These products were mistakenly used in place of permanent abutments, which can lead to the titanium component fracturing or the dental restoration becoming loose. These affected cases were processed between August 2017 and November 2022. Because this is a medical device, consumers should contact their healthcare provider or dental professional for an evaluation of their restoration, or contact the manufacturer directly for more information.
If the temporary abutment breaks, the attached dental restoration (such as a crown) may come loose or fall out. Broken fragments or the restoration itself could cause injury to the lining of the mouth, or in more serious cases, could be accidentally swallowed or inhaled into the lungs.
