Although dental implant surgery is one of the most lucrative procedures in dentistry, offering up to many times the profit of other dental procedures, only 16% (or 60,000 practitioners) of the approximately 360,000 dentists in the U.S., Europe and Japan perform dental implantologies due to clinical risk and the degree of difficulty. Subsequently, only 2 million implant procedures are performed each year in these regions, representing less than 1% of the 200 million potential cases (which presents an annual market growth of over 12%).
