Straumann USA LLC is recalling 11 units of its n!ce PMMA and Zr HT full-arch dental restorations because they were manufactured with an incorrect screw seat interface. This defect affects the way the dental bridge or abutment attaches to the implant, potentially leading to fitting issues. These products were distributed to dental professionals and clinics in eight states including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Ohio, and Virginia. Consumers who have received these specific dental implants should contact their healthcare provider or dentist to discuss the next steps for evaluation and correction.
The incorrect screw seat interface can prevent the dental restoration from properly securing to the implant, which may cause the prosthetic to become loose or fail. While no specific injuries were reported in this notice, a failing dental implant component can lead to discomfort, damage to surrounding tissue, or the need for additional corrective dental procedures.
