The dental implants segment was valued at USD 277.10 million in 2018. The image helps in treatment planning for dental implants owing to the understanding it delivers into anatomic landmarks and structures at risk during implant placement. Due to changing lifestyles, they shifted toward aesthetic dental restoration, specifically in the young and adult population. The growth in dental implant surgeries is promoting the demand for dental cone beam computed tomography to carefully evaluate bone grafting and implant. For instance, countries such as India and Brazil have a large number of dentists in urban areas, but rural areas do not have enough qualified dental practitioners to meet the needs of the population. Therefore, the lack of properly trained dental personnel can hinder the market growth during market growth. 

End-user Analysis

Generally, dental imaging technologies are available in both private and public sector hospitals from specialized teams of dentists. The most specialized medical diagnostic procedures used in hospitals are cone beam computed tomography imaging. Also, it instructs dentists in making appropriate decisions regarding all sets of dental procedures such as oral surgeries, maxillofacial surgeries, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, and restorative dentistry. However, the growing ageing population has prompted the growth of dental surgeries worldwide for dental implants such as dentures, crowns, and bridges. Moreover, consumers in developing economies such as China, and India have experienced an increase in disposable income, which has made dental surgeries more affordable. Therefore, such factors are expected to grow during the forecast period.

When patients need dental imaging, they can turn to dental clinics and laboratories for independent and accurate diagnosis of dental problems. Skilled dentists often prefer using cone beam computed tomography systems over 2D imaging systems because of their precision. Dental laboratories also use these systems with integrated software solutions to ensure accurate diagnosis. Vendors looking to expand their market reach often form partnerships with dental laboratories, and direct sales and distribution of cone beam computed tomography systems are a popular business strategy. The benefits of using these systems over other X-ray imaging techniques have led to increased adoption in dental clinics and laboratories. For example, in August 2020, Luxmi Dental Laser and Implant Centre installed these units, making them the first dental care centre in Uttarakhand, India, to do so. As a result, there are significant growth opportunities for companies offering the systems in this segment during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics and Customer Landscape

The Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing adoption of advanced imaging technologies in dentistry. CBCT systems offer three-dimensional imaging with high resolution and accuracy, making them essential tools for diagnosing and treating various dental disorders, including those related to dental implants. These systems enable dentists to visualize the complex anatomy of the oral cavity, including the roots of teeth, nerve paths, and bone structures, in great detail. The market for CBCT is driven by factors such as the growing prevalence of oral diseases, rising awareness of early diagnosis and treatment, and increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures. Additionally, the integration of CBCT systems with practice management software and the availability of portable and compact systems are further fueling the market's growth. Despite the advantages, the high cost of CBCT systems and the need for specialized training to operate them remain challenges. However, ongoing technological advancements and the focus on improving patient outcomes, particularly for dental implants, are expected to mitigate these challenges. Overall, the Dental CBCT market is poised for robust growth in the coming years.

Key Market Drivers

Rising oral health awareness is driving market growth. The market is driven by the growing public awareness of oral health and the importance of early detection of dental issues. With the increase in dental health consciousness, people are seeking advanced diagnostic technologies for accurate assessments and effective treatment planning. Cone beam CT is a technology that provides accurate three-dimensional images, enabling dentists and specialists to better visualize complex dental structures and problems that have a positive impact on market growth. Companies like Carestream Dental are leading this innovation. Hospitals & Clinics, Diagnostic Centers, and Diagnostic Laboratories are increasingly investing in CBCT systems for improved diagnostic capabilities in dental applications. Faster scanning periods reduce patient discomfort and enhance practice efficiency. The geriatric population and cosmetic dentistry also benefit from the high-resolution images provided by CBCT. However, the high costs remain a challenge. CBCT systems are used for various applications, including orthopedic & sports medicine, ENT disorders, and even breast imaging. Radiation exposure is a concern, but the benefits outweigh the risks.

Further, CBCT systems offer personalized treatment plans through consultation and hospital stays. Prominent players in the market include those offering standing/seated or supine position systems for patient comfort. Conferences and symposia provide platforms for the latest developments in this field. Despite the high costs, the brand image and diagnostic accuracy of CBCT systems continue to attract physicians and institutions, even in the context of medical tourism.

Picture archiving and communications systems (PACSs) are software tools that are integrated into CBCT systems to help acquire, edit, and share camera images via the cloud, as well as provide efficient treatment planning.

In addition, PACS is a medical imaging technology that stores and securely transmits digital electronic images, enabling clinicians at different locations to review the same data together. Digital health companies are investing in the development of software intended for dental CBCT systems. Software tools in dental applications offer a range of additional modules and map the complete digital workflow of dentistry, reducing diagnostic errors, offering convenient workflows, and providing an accurate diagnosis. Therefore, the integration of software tools in CBCT systems is expected to drive the growth of the global dental CBCT market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenges

The availability of alternatives is a significant challenge hindering market growth.  Many dental practices around the world are not adopting cone beam CT due to the cost and availability of traditional dental X-rays and other imaging methods. Traditional X-rays have a lower upfront cost and are already widely used, making them the preferred choice for many dental practices, especially those with limited resources or smaller clinics. While cone beam CT provides superior 3D imaging and better diagnostic information, it requires a larger initial investment and specialized training.

Moreover, it can be challenging to convince dental practitioners to switch to cone beam CT when their current imaging techniques meet their basic diagnostic needs. cone beam CT makers and providers need to effectively communicate the long-term benefits and improved diagnostic accuracy to promote its increased acceptance in the dental industry. Such factors will hinder the growth of the cone beam CT market during the forecast period.
