Dental Prosthetics Market Driver

• The main factor driving the growth of the dental prosthesis market is the rise in the prevalence of dental illnesses. The most common causes of dental illnesses, including tooth decay, periodontal diseases, and palate diseases, go unrecognized the most and require rapid attention from the general public worldwide.

Nearly 3.5 billion individuals are thought to be affected by oral illnesses globally, with caries of permanent teeth being the most prevalent disease1. According to estimates, 520 million children worldwide suffer from primary tooth decay, whereas 2 billion adults worldwide are thought to have permanent tooth decay. With increased urbanization and modifications in living conditions, oral disorders are becoming more common in the majority of low- and middle-income nations. The availability and affordability of foods with a high sugar content, insufficient exposure to fluoride (found in the water supply and oral hygiene products like toothpaste), and limited access to oral health care services in the community are the main causes of this. This need for oral health services is expected to boost the global dental prosthetics market during the forecast period.

• In both emerging and developed nations, aesthetic dentistry is becoming increasingly accepted. The need for cosmetic dentistry is being driven by changes in people's lives and an increase in interest in dental aesthetics. Additionally, the rise in disposable money and willingness to pay for expensive cosmetic operations has given rise to prosperous chances for dental repair and aesthetic treatments. The sale of dental prostheses will increase as a result of dental treatments such as teeth whitening, polishing, and replacement.

Dental Prosthetics Market Restraint

• Dental prostheses and treatments have been getting more and more expensive. The majority of insurance companies in industrialized nations like North America and Europe classify dental implants and prostheses as aesthetic items. Because of this, dental implants and prostheses receive little to no funding from insurance providers. As a result, patients are required to pay a large amount of the price for these operations out of pocket. The adoption of these prostheses will be hampered by these restrictive reimbursement regulations. This is a significant barrier to the widespread use of this kind of prosthesis.

• It is anticipated that an rising product recalls by regulatory agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will hamper market expansion. For instance, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recalled a class II device called the Endosseous dental implant abutment in January 2019. It was produced by dental implant manufacturer Institut Straumann AG. Because the item on the laser-engraved label did not match what was in the package, the product was recalled.
