Tehran, Feb 2 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Abedin Taherkenareh) Current sanctions imposed to Iran make it difficult for dentists to keep their businesses since many dental tools, medicines and implant materials come from Europe and the United States.

Due to the sanctions, much of the material they depend on is no longer imported and, as a result, they receive mainly Chinese and sometimes Korean products. On the other hand, amid a severe economic crisis, dental treatment prices have increased and many people cannot afford them.
