Abstract

In 2008, the U.K. market for dental prosthetics is the fourth-largest dental prosthetics market in Europe. There is great deal of turmoil in the British market due to the on-going situation with the National Health Service (NHS). Over the forecast period, the growth in the non-precious PFM (Porcelain-Fused-To- Metal) and the all-ceramic crown and bridge market value will drive the growth in the overall U.K. dental prosthetics market.
