Description

Implant Epikut S Plus CM 16-Degrees 4,5 X 18,0 mm, REF: ILM 4518N

Reason

Dental implant box incorrectly labels the diameter as 4,5 X 18,0 mm, but the internal label correctly labels the diameter as 4,0 X 18,0 mm; if the dentist drills the bone with the larger diameter stated on the box, the smaller diameter implant, will become loose and will not fit, which may necessitate an additional surgery.
