Rising Oral Health Awareness Fueling Dental Implants and Prostheses Demand

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), oral diseases affect around 3.5 billion people globally. The organization estimates that over 530 million children suffer from dental caries of primary teeth and around 2.3 billion adults suffer from caries of permanent teeth. Additionally, oral diseases are also related to numerous risk factors that are common for chronic illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Thus, the surging prevalence of oral diseases is creating a huge requirement for dental implants and prostheses, as severe periodontal diseases result in tooth loss.

Moreover, the increasing awareness about oral care, owing to the rising incidence of tooth decay, tooth erosion, periodontal diseases, and tooth sensitivity problems, and soaring popularity of cosmetic dentistry procedures will also fuel the dental implants and prostheses market at a CAGR of 6.1% during 2018–2023. The market revenue stood at $7.2 billion in 2017 and it is expected to reach $10.3 billion by 2023. For instance, the as per the American Dental Association (ADA), 85% of the U.S. population believes that oral health is extremely important to their overall health. 

Besides, the rising consumption of sugar, tobacco, and alcohol will also augment the use of metal, polymeric, and ceramic dental implants, dentures, abutments, and bridges and crowns, as excessive consumption of such products lead to dental caries, periodontal diseases, and oral cancers. Additionally, the surging demand for plate form and root form dental implant procedures can be attributed to the fact that most oral problems are preventable and can be treated in their initial stages. 

In addition, the flourishing dental tourism industry, especially in emerging economies, and increasing research on mini dental implants will fuel the use of dental implants and prostheses in the forthcoming years. Nowadays, dental tourism is gaining momentum in developing countries due to the high healthcare costs in developed nations. Moreover, the escalating focus on developing mini dental implants, owing to their benefits such as lower price, lesser placement time, lesser invasive nature, and smaller size as compared to conventional dental implants, will also encourage the use of such products in the coming years.
