Description

GM Helix Acqua Implant 3.5x10, Article No. 140.944

Reason

3.5x11.5mm implants were mislabeled as 3.5x10mm implants. In borderline cases where the bone quality is low and the bone ridge has a maximum indication for the implant height (10mm), if the incorrect implant is installed, it could result in damage to the nerve or adjacent bone structures/cavities.
