DENTAL FILLING MATERIAL MARKET ANALYSIS

Market News

Key Developments

Research and development to assess the efficacy of dental restoration materials is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for market players. For instance, in August 2019, researchers from University of Economics and Innovations in Lublin assessed the impact of thermocycling on surface layer properties of dental materials such as light cured polymer matrix ceramic composites used in sliding friction pair.

Similarly, in August 2019, researchers from Dental Life Science Research Institute & Clinical Translational Research Center for Dental Science reported effects of toxicity of zero and one-dimensional carbon nanomaterials in different cell lines and animal models. Such nanomaterials can be used as potential dental filling materials.

In August 2019, Brazilian team of researchers reported effects of the hydroxyethyl-methacrylate concentration and solvent content of dental adhesives on cell viability and cytokine release by human dental pulp cells, in the paper ‘Solvent and HEMA Increase Adhesive Toxicity and Cytokine Release from Dental Pulp Cells’ published in the journal MDPI Materials.
