Horizon 2030

The Delphi study «Horizon 2030» carried out by the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) aims to identify and predict future trends in implant dentistry in Europe.

  • Responses were collected in two rounds with feedback, then discussed at a final meeting for those points where there was no consensus (threshold set at 65%).
