What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with manufacturing defect affecting product functionality. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The defect prevents proper curing of dental material, creating risk of treatment failure, but the hazard remains theoretical pending reported adverse events.
Plain-English summary
Voco GmbH has recalled Ionolux dental cement in capsule form (catalog numbers 2115, 2117, 2118, 2119, 2120, and 2122) due to a manufacturing defect. The recall affects 1021 units worldwide.
During manufacturing, some capsules received an incorrect plunger that does not contain the correct reactive component needed for Ionolux to cure properly. When these affected capsules are activated, curing is significantly delayed and incomplete, making it impossible to process the material according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The affected dental cement has been distributed in the United States (Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington) and internationally to Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, France, Greece, Great Britain, India, Italy, Canada, Qatar, Lithuania, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, Spain, Czech Republic, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Ireland.
Dental professionals who have received Ionolux cement from the affected lot numbers should stop using the product immediately and contact Voco GmbH. Patients who received dental work using affected material should contact their dental provider to discuss potential replacement or repair of the restoration.
