Event Description

Device report from synthes (b)(4) reports an event in (b)(6) as follows: it was reported that the patient had a bilateral posterior open bite two to three (2-3) millimeters.This occurred when doing the mandible movement component of the surgery; it was after plating the mandible using the final splint, as positioning guide, and using the mandible patient specific plates.The surgeon attempted to correct this via several steps.He moved the mandible plates and re-plated; the patient still had a bilateral posterior open-bite.He took the splint out and re-plated; the patient still had a bilateral posterior open-bite.He took the splint out and removed cut the bottom bar off double bars on patient specific mandible plates; this is the step that stopped the posterior open bite.There was a surgical delay to procedure of ninety (90) minutes.There was no adverse event to patient reported.This is report 1 of 3 for com-(b)(4).

Manufacturer Narrative

Complainant part is no longer expected to be returned for manufacturer review/investigation.A product investigation was completed: complained issue could not be replicated and/or confirmed based on the available information.No pictures and/or x-rays were provided and no material was returned for investigation.Device history record (dhr) reviews were performed for the affected lots, no abnormalities or deviations were detected, which could lead to the complaint failure.No non-conformance reports were marked in the dhr during production.Planning, guide design and production steps that could explain a posterior open bite.Therefore, it is determined that the materialise devices performed as intended.In the planning report sent to the surgeon, an overlap of 0.8 mm was indicated in the posterior maxillary region.Such measurements in the planning report indicate approximate overlaps and potential bony reductions needed in the posterior maxilla that are not guided with the titanium 3d printed guide for midface.As these bony reductions are done freehand by the surgeon, it is possible that the surgeon removed too much bone of the maxilla in this region.This could potentially have led to a slight discrepancy in final position of the maxilla compared to the surgical plan.A shallow final splint was designed for this case as per the surgeon¿s request.Potentially, the surgeon did not fully lock the teeth of the mandible in the teeth impressions of the shallow splint posteriorly.Combined with the potential discrepancy in maxillary position, this could have led to a posterior open bite as indicated by the complainant.This however, cannot be confirmed based on the available information.Device was used for treatment, not diagnosis.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
