Restorative Dentistry Market Dynamics to 2028

Driver: Lifestyle Changes and unhealthy food habits

Some of the major causes of rise in restorative dentistry is due to Increase in the consumption of food with high content of sugar, Chocolates, sugary cookies, cakes, ice cream which contains sugar in abundance due to which the bacteria present in the mouth grow .As a result of high sugar. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), growing number of people opting for oral piercing results in a high infection rate. The oral piercings are nowadays commonly seen in young adults, and the tongue is considered the most common site for these oral piercing. This results in bleeding, chipped or damaged teeth, lacerations/scarring, palatal erythema, swelling, gingival recession, or unusual discharge from the pierced region. Such instances support the demand for dental procedures.

Restraint: Intricacies of using traditional dental composites

The process of placing composite restorations can be time consuming and technique sensitive, especially in bigger and deeper cavities. This can be due to several thin layer placements (usually 2 mm or less) required for dental composites, and incremental light-curing needs to be done after placing each layer. In addition to preventing shrinkage and voids, this is essential to guarantee that the composite cures fully and the resultant restoration has adequate strength to absorb the forces of mastication. This will be a major factor responsible for the slower growth of the market despite the increasing demand.

Opportunity: Rising disposable incomes in developing countries

The increase in the income levels in developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil, with a relatively high decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index, are expected to boost restorative dental products. According to a research study conducted by the International Monetary Fund, one of the leading economic communities in the world-China has shown a considerable increase in the per capita national income. The general growth in the per capita income will result in an increase of the dental healthcare expenditure among the population, henceforth driving the uptake of dental treatments in the country. Thus, population growth in emerging markets, coupled with increasing healthcare spending, is expected to offer opportunities for developing the restorative dentistry market in emerging countries.

Challenges: Dearth of Dental practitioners

The demand for dental care services is expected to increase globally due to the changing demographics as the population is increasing, growing dental care awareness, and the rising prevalence of dental diseases. However, a shortage of dental professionals in countries poses a significant challenge for the restorative dentistry market. For instance, in Africa, the dentist-to-population ratio is ~1:150,000 (this figure is ~1:2,000 in developed countries). The shortage of dentists in these countries is one of the major challenges expected to reduce the adoption of restorative dentistry despite their large target patient population.
