Dental crowns and bridges market scope

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts that the global dental crowns and bridges market will grow at an impressive CAGR of close to 8% during the forecast period. Increasing incidences of oral diseases is one of the critical factors driving the growth of this market in the coming years. Oral health problems are common among individuals of all ages, but many are preventable. Some of the most common issues are bleeding gums, cavities, and halitosis.

Moreover, diabetics are at higher risk of developing periodontal problems, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. According to the International Diabetes Federation, the number of people with diabetes is projected to reach close to 591 million by 2035. The significant increase in the number of diabetes patients will lead to more dental visits, which in turn will propel the growth prospects for the dental crowns and bridges market during the predicted period.

Dental crowns and bridges market driver

According to our dental crowns and bridges industry report, the introduction of new technologies like CAD/CAM will aid in the growth of this market during the forecast period. The CAD/CAM technology is employed in critical oral health applications like full mouth reconstructions, inlays, and bridges. This technology uses a 3D custom image to draw and design the final restoration. This helps in making restorations much stronger compared to milled teeth structures, which were in use until recently. Benefits pertaining to accuracy, simplicity, and insertion will bolster the use of CAD/CAM technology, which in turn will fuel the demand for dental crowns and bridges until the end of 2020.
