Manufacturer Narrative

The device investigation has been completed and the results are as follows: investigation methods/results: the device was not returned from customer.Customer provided images of the implant for evaluation.The implant product# could not be identified from the images but appears to be of the hahn tapered implant system.The implant has heavy defects and threads are visibly worn.The collar of the implant appears to be missing/broken from the implant and is not identifiable in the images provided.Significant amount of bone debris is embedded in the threading.The implant appears broken at the apex (collar).The dhr was reviewed and there was no evidence discovered to indicate that a product defect or non-conformity contributed to the issue.Device history record review: the dhr was reviewed and there was no evidence discovered to indicate that a product defect or non-conformity contributed to the issue.The part met all the specifications called for in the production router.Stock product review: the packaged stock product was not available for review.Root cause: the root cause cannot be explicitly determined.It was unknown if the breakage was the resulted from poor prosthetic design.It was also unknown if the osteotomy size was undersized or over-prepared prior to the implant placement.Per the reported information, the patient had type iii bone quality.It has been shown that the quality and quantity of bone available at the implant site are very important patient factors, in determining the success of dental implants.It is difficult to obtain implant anchorage in bone that is not very dense.Type iii: thin layer of cortical bone surrounding a core of dense trabecular bone.Therefore, the patient's bone quality may have been a factor.
