Abstract

The Portuguese market for dental prosthetics is significantly less mature than that of neighboring Spain, but benefited significantly in 2008 from dental tourism from neighboring countries. This tourism, in addition to a growth in the senior citizen population is expected to drive growth in the prosthetics market through the forecast period.
