The prevalence of dental conditions such as orthodontic and periodontal diseases is notably driving market growth. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease and dental caries, are the two leading causes of tooth loss. Gum disease occurs due to infection, which later can destroy the gum and the bone that supports the tooth. In such cases, radiographic images help to diagnose severe gum diseases and stages of bone loss, which helps to proceed further with the treatment.
Plaque around the teeth and gum can lead to gum disease, which can be identified using dental radiology equipment. Hence, the rise in dental visits and the prevalence of oral conditions, coupled with visits for preventive care of oral illnesses resulted in driving the market growth of dental radiology equipment, which is used for diagnostic purposes.
Technological advances in dental equipment are the primary trend in the market. Companies are deploying innovative and better technologies to address the shortcomings of traditional approaches Therefore, new dental radiology equipment features less scan time and better image visualization. For instance, Carestream Dental, a subsidiary of Carestream Health, offers CS 8100SC 3D dental radiology equipment, which has the fastest scanning time over the previous version, which is around three seconds.
The market has been witnessing a shift from conventional 2D to 3D imaging systems. Products such as OP 3D Vision and OP 3D Pro (products of Envista Holding) help dentists to capture 3D images of oral conditions, which offer a better quality of picturization compared with 2D X-ray devices. Also, these products offer low-radiation doses, further keeping the effective quality of 3D X-ray images intact. The increasing benefits of 3D dental X-ray devices fueled various companies to launch new products in the market, which will boost market growth.
The high cost of advanced dental radiology equipment and the procedure is the major challenge impeding the market growth. Many small and medium-sized dental clinics and laboratories are reluctant to opt for advanced dental radiology equipment such as dental CBCT and digital dental X-ray systems owing to their high cost. Also, reimbursement for dental radiology imaging procedures is minimal in developed countries, whereas in developing and undeveloped countries, there is a lack of reimbursement, which impacts the adoption of the procedure.
Advanced dental X-ray systems, such as digital dental X-ray systems, are costlier than analog dental X-ray systems. The average cost of a digital X-ray imaging system ranges between USD120,000 and USD280,000. Furthermore, it further requires extra computers to support the devices, which involves additional costs. Also, the cost of scanning with dental X-ray systems ranges between USD25 and USD200, which poses a challenge to the market.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
