Event Description
|
Doctor experienced depth issues with site 14.After using second drill, doctor felt like he was drilling in bone more than he should.He followed the reference chart and used 22mm.After the second drill, he used a probe to check depth.He determined the osteotomy depth was much deeper than it should've been.He said from the crest of the bone to the apex of the osteotomy, the depth was about 15 or 16mm (even though his implant was 10mm length).To resolve the issue, he decreased the length for the last drills (only went 20mm rather than 22mm).Dr said he would've perforated the sinus but the patient had thick lining and determined the depth issue early on.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluation did not show any malfunction.Surgery with a properly seated guide and the prescribed drill depths should have resulted in the correct depth.For this particular case, doctor reported that the tissue flap was performed for the implant site #12,13,and 14 whereas the device labeling indicate tissue flap requirement for only site #12 and 13.Without soft tissue support in the posterior implant site region, pressing down on the guide during drilling procedure may cause the guide to slightly bend and drill to go deeper than planned.
