Trends Influencing the Global Dental Imaging Market

The growing number of oral diseases

Dental health conditions are growing rapidly. Diseases such as periodontal, tooth decay, oral cancer, oral dental trauma, etc affect millions of people every year. This creates a huge healthcare burden. Digital imaging machines such as X-rays help dentists in capturing sharp images of your teeth and gums through low levels of radiation thereby helping in identifying the problems. These factors will drive the growth of the dental imaging market during the forecast period. Untreated oral health diseases are the most common health conditions leading to pain, discomfort, or disfigurement.

Rapid innovations

The advent of modern technology ranging from intraoral periapical X-rays to computed tomography, cone beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging systems and ultrasound have revolutionized the dentistry industry. These technical tools have made the process faster, simpler, and image storage, manipulation along with retrieval easier. The 3D imaging technology has made the viewing of inner facial structures less complicated leading to a quick diagnosis of deep-seated lesions. Moreover, extraoral radiographs are used for examining the jaws, skull, craniofacial skeletons, affected teeth, and joints. These widespread applications will propel the growth of the dental imaging market during the review period.

Cosmetic application and cost-effective

The geriatric population is rising rapidly across the globe. This has augmented the unprecedented rise of dental problems. Furthermore, people are seeking out aesthetic facial improvements that are minimally invasive and improve exterior appearance at a cheap cost. The procedures are dental whitening, resin veneers, full reconstruction of mouth, gum lift, reshaping, straightening, tooth implants, etc. Cosmetic dental surgeries are becoming less invasive with numerous product launches and innovations. This in turn will boost the demand for the dental imaging market during the review period.

Costly initial investment and slow acceptance

Wired devices, software, and hardware are complicated to set up with high initial costs. In addition to it, manufacturers are not transparent over the standards of hardware, software, technicalities, and different image file formats. This leads to confusion and slow implementation by dentists. This will create restraints for the dental imaging market during the review period.
