Dental caries (tooth decay) is the most prevalent chronic disease in both children and adults, even though it is largely preventable. It is damage to tooth that can occur when decay-causing bacteria in the mouth create acids that attack the tooth surface or enamel. If left untreated, it can cause pain, infection, and even tooth loss. Early stages are often without symptoms, but advanced stages of dental caries may lead to pain, infections and abscesses, or even sepsis. The sooner people seek care, the better chances are of reversing the early stages of tooth decay and stopping its progression.
Market Statistics:
The global dental caries treatment market is estimated to account for US$ 6,573.2 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2022.
Drivers:
Increasing awareness among the population regarding dental caries treatment is expected to aid in the growth of the global dental caries treatment market over the forecast period. For instance, untreated dental caries (tooth decay) in permanent teeth is the most common health condition According to the Global Burden of Disease 2019, dental caries is the highly prevalent chronic and cumulative disease, which affects 60% to 90% of school children and adults worldwide. Moreover, according to the National Health Interview Survey (September 2020), over 64.9% of the people aged 18 years and over (in the United States) visited dental care centers for the dental exam or cleaning in 2019.
Opportunities:
Increase in demand for dental caries treatment across the globe is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global dental caries treatment market. Since the demand for dental caries treatment is expected to increase in the coming future with the increased focus on oral health, continuous research in field, and the rapid growth in geriatric population, there are tremendous opportunities for the market players. In July 2021, Coltene Group announced the launch of MicroMega One RECI, which protects the per-cervical area and help minimize mechanical impact on dental hard tissues.
Restraints:
High failure rate of endodontic treatment and lack of knowledge about dental caries treatment is expected to hamper the growth of the global dental caries treatment market. Poor oral health is a contributing factor for many wider conditions or diseases. People need to be more informed and educated about tooth decay to reduce dental disease. Untreated dental caries in permanent teeth is the most common health condition. Moreover, the most common problem during the dental caries treatment is endodontic failure. Various studies have also been conducted to demonstrate the reasons for the high failure rate endodontic treatment.
