Abstract
In 2008, the European market for dental prosthetics (crowns, bridges, and
dentures) was valued at nearly € 8.3 billion. The European market
includes Austria, Benelux, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russia,
Scandinavia, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The global economic
downturn in 2008-2009 is expected to slow the market growth rate however; the
aging population will continue to drive the number of patients requiring
dental restorations in the future.
