On July 12, The Science Channel aired a segment on how Nobel Biocare dental implants are manufactured. The top-rated show “How It’s Made” has also featured Nobel Biocare manufacturing before in 2010, when they visited the NobelProcera manufacturing facility in Mahwah, N.J., to find out how a dental crown is made.

For this episode, the production team traveled to Yorba Linda, Calif., to see how a titanium rod goes through the manufacturing process to become a dental implant. The show airs on the Discovery Networks in 180 countries and in 13 languages.

Nobel Biocare (NOBN, SIX Swiss Exchange) is a world leader in innovative restorative and esthetic dental solutions. As a complete solutions provider, Nobel Biocare offers a comprehensive range of solutions from tooth to root, for single tooth to fully edentulous indications, the company said.

The solutions portfolio covers dental implants (including the key brands NobelActive, Brånemark System and NobelReplace), individualized prosthetics and equipment (NobelProcera guided surgery solutions and biomaterials). Nobel Biocare has more than 2,400 employees and recorded revenue of EUR 569.2 million in 2011. The company is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. Production takes place at seven sites located in Canada, Israel, Japan, Sweden and the United States. Nobel Biocare also has 34 direct sales organizations.
