Abstract

With the highest income per capita in Europe, Switzerland is an important dental market and there is growing demand in Switzerland for dental services including restoration, aesthetics, and cosmetics, all of which represent high revenues for companies, laboratories, and offices. In 2008 the Swiss market for dental prosthetics and CAD/CAM grew steadily with greater growth predicted over the forecast period after a recovering from the economic crisis on 2009.
