DENTAL RAPID PROTOTYPING SYSTEMS MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Dental Rapid Prototyping Systems Market– Driver

Increasing product approvals

The increasing product approvals from respective regulatory authorities can help propel the growth of global dental rapid prototyping systems market. For instance, on May 22, 2023, SprintRay Inc., a in digital dentistry and 3D printing solutions company, announced that it  received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for High Impact Denture Base, a ceramic infused denture material for 3D fabrication and repair of full and partial removable dentures and baseplates.

Launch of new products and launches

The increasing product and platform launches to provide better oral health can drive the growth of the global dental rapid prototyping systems market. For instance, on July 2022, Dentsply Sirona-  a U.S.-based dental equipment manufacturer and dental consumables producer, announced the launch of Primescan Connect, a laptop-based version of Primescan, Dentsply Sirona’s intraoral scanner. It is powered by the cloud platform DS Core. The platform provides digital dentistry solutions that enable long-term practice growth by increasing efficiency, introducing new procedures, and treatment workflows, and improving patient outcomes.

Restraints

Potential side effects of 3D printed dental implant materials

Utility of various dental materials ranging from diagnosis to rehabilitation for the management of oral diseases are not devoid of posing a potential risk of inducing allergic reactions to the patient, technician, and dentist. This can restrain the growth of the global dental rapid prototyping systems market. For instance, according to an article published by PubMed, a free search engine for biological databases and medical reports, the most common allergic reactions in dental procedures are allergies to latex, acrylates, and formaldehyde.

Non-ideal Implant Positioning

If the implant prosthesis deviates from the normal, natural tooth contours, the prosthesis may be predisposed to compromised aesthetics, prosthetic mechanical complications, a loss of ideal soft-tissue architecture, peri-implant disease, and hygiene difficulty. This can restrain  the growth of this market. For instance, according to a article published in December 2020, in Denstisry Today, a dental hygiene journal, bad positioning of 3D printed implants can cause clinical complications like reduced papilla and damage to the adjacent periodontal ligament.
