The patient returned to the office and the doctor cleaned out and re-cemented the restoration using maxcem elite, without further incident. To date, the patient is doing fine. The product involved in the alleged incident was not returned and no lot number was provided; therefore, no evaluation can be conducted. The doctor reported that he did not use the automix tips provided in the maxcem elite packaging as stated in the directions for use. He was aware that a new tip is intended to be used for each patient; however, in an attempt to save on "wasted product", he had extruded the material onto a mixing pad directly from the uncapped syringe and mixed the product by hand. It has been concluded that the intentional failure to follow instructions was the root cause of this incident. The doctor was informed by kerr on proper product usage.
