So how does a theft at an Israeli factory affect the dental world?
Well, the factory belongs to Adin Dental Implant Systems, and thieves absconded with a large batch of dental implants.
The implants have not been sterilized, and Adin has warned dentists to watch out for any dental implant being sold at suspiciously low prices.
Though the implants will likely end up in the West Bank area, police are concerned that they me smuggled abroad.
Police are also investigating links between this crime and a similar one earlier this year.
