The top three revenue contributing application segments are discussed below:
CBCT in dental implants
The dental implant segment accounted for around 40% of the global dental CBCT market in 2015. Dental implants are metal products, which provide a stable support for dentures, artificial teeth, and bridges. CBCT is used for imaging in the restoration of implants, so the growing adoption of dental implants increase the use of CBCT. The cost of dental implantation procedure differs in various dental clinics. Tooth loss in the elderly population is a major factor driving growth in the market.
“Studies conducted in 2014 and 2015 found that CBCT with 2D radiography could help complex dental implant procedures, such as implanting mini implants; here a 3D image helps to understand the oral structure. The software can provide 3D analysis using orthognathic advanced cuts and movement that also show tissue change in profile, which can be useful to place or restore a dental implant,” says Barath Palada, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on medical imaging.
Dental CBCT in Orthodontic
Orthodontics is a specialized dental treatment required to align teeth and jaw into the correct position. Crooked teeth can cause stress while chewing food, which can lead to headaches. Orthodontics services involve the use of medical imaging tools such as X-ray to determine the structure of the jawline, which helps determine the type of orthodontic treatment and the requirement of devices. For this dental procedure, fixed orthodontic devices such as braces and fixed space maintainers, and removable orthodontic devices such as aligners, splint, and palatal expanders are used. The increased orthodontic cases in both pediatric and adults in various geographical regions is booming the dental CBCT market. Companies are forming partnerships with companies specializing in developing high-quality 3D digital imaging to offer the best imaging technology. Compared with other digital dental imaging equipment such as CT and X-ray, CBCT uses low dosimetry of radioisotopes. Hence, to penetrate this market and to offer benefits to individuals, companies are developing CBCT that involves low dosimetry.
Dental CBCT in endodontics and periodontics
Dental procedures related to a root canal is known as endodontics, whereas infections around the teeth including gums and cementum that covers the root and periodontal ligament are known as periodontal diseases. Gingivitis or bleeding gums is the earliest stage of the disease and can lead to periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis can lead to inflammation of the tissues around the teeth. In countries, such as China, the number of periodontics and endodontic cases are more. In rural areas, the periodontics cases are more due to less awareness about oral hygiene. Thus, to raise awareness about oral hygiene, 20th September of each year is announced as the “Love Teeth Day” in China. In the US, more than 15 million root canals are performed every year. To provide better treatment, dental clinics and laboratories such as Cameo Endodontics & Oral Surgery installed CS 9000 CBCT scan. Growing use of CBCT for Endodontics by specialized dental clinics will help in the market growth.
