Keystone Dental Recalls Multi-Unit Abutments Due to Screw Fit Issues

Keystone Dental Inc is recalling 20 units of Multi-Unit Abutments because they are unable to accept the final abutment screw.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The defect prevents the device from functioning as intended (accepting the screw), but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a functional defect without reported harm.
