In 2008, The German dental prosthetics market is the largest in the European continent. This is due mainly to Germany having the largest population in Europe, and the population's importance placed on the care for their teeth. The German tradition of superior engineering and attention to detail also helps encourage this market, as many dental companies originate from Germany.
