Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
A review of the internal documentation did not show an anomaly or deviation.While a cause for this specific clinical event cannot be ascertained from the information provided, it suggests the nerve cutting was related to the fact that the nerve was located more buccally and therefore was not visible on the cbct images.Should additional information become available that changes this assessment, an amended medical device report will be filed.
