Dental implant and facial injectables are among the top surgical procedures slated for growth in the next five years, according to a new report from the Millennium Research Group (MRG).
"The aesthetic and dental areas have consistently shown greater than average growth," said April Chan, publications manager at MRG, in a press release. "Dental implants will show a growth of 9% and facial injectables 12% [between 2010 and 2015], both driven by consumer demand for antiaging treatments."
MRG's North American Surgical Procedure Volumes 2011 includes procedure numbers from 28 of Millennium Research Group's 2010 publications. Therapeutic areas covered in the report are cardiovascular procedures, dental procedures, diagnostic imaging procedures, facial injectable procedures, gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures, nonvascular interventional radiology procedures, orthopedic procedures, soft-tissue repairs, and urology and gynecology procedures.
