The Development Trends of Dental prosthetics

According to a new report by Grand View Research, the global dental prosthetics market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% from 2020 to 2027, reaching a value of $9.0 billion by the end of the forecast period. 

One of the major trends in the dental prosthetics market is the shift towards implant-supported restorations, which offer better stability, esthetics, and functionality than traditional removable prostheses. The report notes that dental implants are becoming increasingly popular due to their long-term success rates, improved surgical techniques, and reduced costs. Moreover, the emergence of CAD/CAM systems and 3D printing technologies has enabled the customization, precision, and speed of dental implant production and placement.

Another trend is the increasing adoption of all-ceramic and zirconia-based materials for prosthetic crowns, bridges and dentures, since they offer superior strength, biocompatibility, and esthetics compared to metal-based alloys. The report also points out the growing awareness and acceptance of digital dentistry among dentists and patients, which involves the integration of intraoral scanners, digital impression systems, and virtual reality tools into the dental workflow. This enables faster, more accurate, and more patient-friendly dental treatments, as well as lower environmental impact and material waste.

However, opportunity comes together with challenge, the shortage of skilled dental technicians and the high costs of equipment and materials could also constrain the growth of the dental prosthetics market, so that innovation, collaboration, and education is needed to overcome these barriers and capitalize on the opportunities in the expanding market.
