Market Challenges And Opportunities

Intramucosal Implants Market Driver

Use of innovative ideas such as CAD/CAM technology in the field of dentistry is expected to boost growth of the intramucosal’ implants market. For instance, according to the Journal of Interdisciplinary Dentistry 2015, use of Computer Aided Drug Designing (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) in the dentistry offers extremely aesthetic, biocompatible intramucosal implants by using materials such as metal alloys, composites, titanium, and polyether ether ketone, and milling machines that restore implants to proper position.

Moreover, increasing use of robotics to assist dentists with procedures such as root canal surgery and orthodontic operations are expected to increase adoption of intramuscular implants. For instance, in September 2017, a robot dentist performed first successful autonomous dental implant surgery by fitting two new teeth into a woman’s mouth in China. The robot was developed by joined collaboration of the Fourth Military Medical University’s affiliated Stomatological Hospital and the Robotic Institute at Beihang University.

Intramucosal Implants Market Restraint

The high cost of intramucosal implants is expected to restrain growth of the market. For instance, according to Dental Associates, in January 2018, the cost for a single implant is US$ 4,817 without bone grafting and US$ 5,557 with bone grafting.
