DENTAL AIR POLISHING UNIT MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Dental Air Polishing Unit Market - Driver

Increasing prevalence of dental problems

Rising dental problems among the population are expected to drive the global dental air polishing unit market growth over the forecast period. A Global Oral Health Status Report published in November 2022 by the World Health Organization (WHO) showed that almost half of the world’s population (45% or 3.5 billion people) suffered from oral diseases, with three out of every four affected people living in low- and middle-income countries.

Contraindication in pregnant women

Depending on the patient’s inflammation and the severity of their periodontal and/or peri-implant disease and associated risk of local complications (e.g. emphysema), the use of air-polishing devices for subgingival cleaning should be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and the treating dentist should be consulted.

This restrain can be overcome by being in constant touch and communication with the dentist, periodontist, or healthcare provider and, in the event of doubt, a different treatment option should be chosen.

Lack of awareness about oral hygiene

Lack of awareness among the general population on the importance of oral health, the need for regular dental checkups, and what impact it has on the overall health of an individual, can restrain the growth of the global dental air polishing market. According to data published on May 29, 2023, by the World Health Organization (WHO), there only exists one dentist for about 10,000 Indian patients. The report also suggested that over 95% of adults in India have dental caries, and over 50% of adults have periodontal disease.

This can be overcome by arranging seminars and workshops for healthcare professionals as well as for caregivers.
