Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The current instructions for use contains the following: "precautions - a tooth that has been previously traumatized or significantly restored may be aggravated.In rare instances, the useful life of the tooth may be reduced, the tooth may require additional dental treatment such as endodontic and/or additional restorative work, and/or the tooth may be lost".The treating doctor shared that the potential root cause could have been a previously undiagnosed necrotic and chronically inflamed tooth related to prior trauma, which may have been exacerbated by orthodontic tooth movement.There is no conclusive evidence provided that supports or opposes whether the invisalign system caused or contributed to the reported permanent damage and medical intervention.Based on the available information, the patient had permanent damage, and the invisalign system was being used.Therefore, an mdr will be filed in the united states per 21 cfr 803.There is no conclusive evidence to confirm the date of the event, and the date (b3) is based on the timelines reported to align and compared to patient information.
