Preat Corp has recalled 11 units of NobelBiocare Tri-Lobe-compatible WP X 6.0mm Engaging Titanium Bases (REF: 9000662) due to a manufacturing defect. The engaging part of the titanium base was manufactured 180 degrees from where it should be located, which prevents a dental crown from fitting onto the abutment in the correct orientation. This issue results in a restoration delay for the patient, though no injuries have been reported. This recall specifically affects Lot 277097.
If the titanium base is manufactured incorrectly, the dental crown will not align properly with the connection geometry. This makes it impossible to seat the restoration correctly, leading to treatment delays.
Quantity affected: 11
