Thommen Medical AG is recalling 20 units of its repositionable, short, screw-retained impression coping (PF 4.0) because the depth of the internal canal was not manufactured according to specifications. This defect prevents the impression coping from being firmly connected to the dental implant during procedures. Consumers and dental professionals should be aware that this manufacturing error can lead to inaccurate dental impressions and potential procedural delays.
The internal canal's incorrect depth prevents a secure connection between the coping and the implant, which could lead to instability or errors during dental impression taking. No injuries have been reported to date, but the defect compromises the device's intended surgical and restorative function.
