Implant Direct Sybron Recalls Out-of-Specification Dental Abutments

Implant Direct Sybron is recalling 60 REPLANT 5.0mmD Abutments because they are out of specification and cannot be properly fitted to implants.

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, but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a functional defect (inability to fit the implant) rather than a direct safety risk like infection or injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
