What happened

Nobel Biocare Services AG is recalling 188 NobelReplace Conical Connection (CC) PMC RP dental implants (Lot 13084072) due to labeling errors. The implant caps are labeled with incorrect measurements of 5.0x8mm when the actual implant measurements are 4.3x10mm. If a dentist does not notice this discrepancy before placing the implant, it could result in complications including the need for a second surgical procedure, implant replacement, or in cases where the implant is placed in the posterior lower jaw, potential damage to the inferior alveolar nerve canal or perforation of a small artery requiring immediate removal.

The affected implants were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States (specifically in Florida and New York) as well as in Albania and Hong Kong. The recall document does not specify a remedy for consumers who may have received these implants.
