Defective blocks may show cracks after sintering If cracks are unnoticed, restorations may fracture in the patient's mouth and require restoration
Ivoclar Vivadent is recalling IPS e.max ZirCAD CER Prime BL1 zirconium oxide blocks that can crack after sintering. If cracks are not noticed, the restorations may fracture in the patient's mouth, requiring rework.
The blocks may develop cracks after sintering. If these cracks are not detected, the dental restorations can fracture inside the patient's mouth, leading to the need for additional dental work.
Dentists and dental labs using the recalled blocks for making dental restorations are affected. Patients with recent restorations made from these blocks are at risk if cracks cause fractures.
Check for lot numbers Z063MW or Z067JD on the blocks. The article number is 758434 and UDI-DI codes include (01)07615208438703.
