WALTHAM, Massachusetts, September 16 /PRNewswire/ --
According to Millennium Research Group's (MRG's) European Markets for Dental Implants 2008 report, the rising demand for premium-priced custom-milled final abutments in Europe will drive the market to nearly euro 200 million by 2012. Custom-milled final abutments have become a popular choice in Europe due to heightened patient and dentist awareness of the aesthetic and functional advantages offered by this abutment type.
Traditionally, dental implant manufacturers supplied prefabricated final abutments to match their implants. Custom-milled final abutments, however, are produced after the implant has been placed. Using an impression of the dental implant site and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, the abutment is milled to precisely match the depth, angle, and orientation of the implant.
"Custom-milled final abutments are becoming increasingly popular because of their ability to offer a customized fit, resulting in improved functional and aesthetic benefits," says Kevin Flewwelling, Manager of MRG's Orthopedics division. "Additionally, custom-milled units are often easier to place, reducing chair time and making the treatment more convenient for the patient."
The European Markets for Dental Implants 2008 report features market forecasts and coverage of industry competitors. MRG also offers Dental Marketrack(TM), which gathers data from hundreds of implantologists across the US and Europe on a quarterly or biannual basis.
MRG will be attending the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) in Warsaw, Poland, from September 18 to 20, 2008. To preview any of MRG's products at EAO, please contact MRG to arrange a meeting.
