According to FDI World Dental Federation’s Oral Health Atlas published in 2015, oral disease affects around 3.9 billion people worldwide, with untreated tooth decay that impacts around 44% of world’s population. Moreover, 90% of tooth decay cases requires endodontic procedures, which involves surgical procedure to save natural tooth.

Trauma and related disorders often require implant procedures generating the need for dental loupes and cameras.

Geriatric population with dental problems is another impetus for growth of the market, as they face oral health issue such as shrinkage of gums with age, leading to the tooth decay or infection, loss of teeth, and poor fitting dentures. According to WHO oral health factsheet 2012, around 30% of people aged 65–74 years have no natural teeth and burden is expected to increase in near future.
