To DTA Members interested in the European Union Market:
AFG Research (a DTA Member) is launching a European Omnibus Dentist Survey. DTA Member companies can submit questions to gain greater insight into the European Market, especially if they are targeting European dentists. This is a valuable tool and a fraction of the cost to launch a separate company survey. Please review this document on AFG Research's site for complete details.
