Abstract

In 2008, the Scandinavian market for dental prosthetics, which includes Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway, grew steadily with the precious porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFMs) and the all-ceramic market driving the majority of this growth. The Swedish dental prosthetics market is the largest of any Scandinavian country, while Norway features higher average selling prices that are predicted to increase.
