Restorations crack during the sintering process.
Ivoclar Vivadent is recalling IPS e.max ZirCAD CER/inLab Start.Kit LT ceramic for dental use because restorations can crack during the sintering process. This could lead to dental issues if the ceramic pieces break during use.
The ceramic material can crack during the sintering process, which is when the material is heated to fuse it into a final shape. This cracking could cause the restoration to break, potentially leading to dental problems for patients.
Dentists and dental labs using the recalled ceramic kit are most at risk. Patients receiving restorations made from this kit may experience issues if the ceramic cracks.
Check for product number 686282EN and lot numbers Z0007Z, Z000KK, Y49356, or Z006HV on the kit packaging. The kit is intended for IPS e.max ZirCAD dental restorations.
