COVID-19 Impact:

"Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering; with the Dental Radiology Equipment Market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

COVID-19 impacted dental radiology equipment through supply chain disruptions caused by cancellations of orders and constraints on assigned manufacturing resources. The challenged production schedules by delays in the supply of raw materials and constraints in transportation affected the manufacturing cycle and accessibility of tools. People visited dental clinics less frequently as a result of restrictions put in place regarding the number of persons allowed in a given environment at any one time and fear of infection by the virus. The elective procedures such as the routine dental check-ups or non-urgent dental treatments were delayed or halted and; thus, there is reduced usage of dental radiology equipment.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic brought awareness toward the need for infection control and the guidelines towards practice safety within dental facilities. This has resulted into acquisition of radiology accessories that recognize measures of hygiene and sterilization that will for instance involve use of disposable accessories when doing radiological procedures. Due to the pandemic, the dental practices faced financial issues, which entailed budget constraints as a potential source. For example, many clinics postponed the purchase of new radiology equipment and its components and other investments, but only necessary spending was made to continue the functioning of the clinic. The market is anticipated to boost the Dental Radiology Equipment Market growth following the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

"Technological Advancements to Drive Market Growth"

The implementation of digital technology as a replacement for traditional film-based radiography is a major trend. Digital radiography is beneficial in many ways such as improved image quality, short exposure time and many others, least to say that the patient is exposed to very low levels of radiation. This also makes the storing and sharing of images easier, hence improving the work of other dental gurus. The usage rates of CBCT systems are steadily increasing since it is a system that can offer 3D imaging. CBCT provides highly accurate and detailed images of teeth, jaw bones, and soft tissues that help in detection of pathology and planning of interventions. The use of the temporomandibular joint image ranges from implant planning to orthodontic procedures and endodontic treatments. These latest developments are anticipated to boost the Dental Radiology Equipment Market share.

DENTAL RADIOLOGY EQUIPMENT MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Intraoral X-Ray Systems, Extraoral X-Ray Systems, Intraoral Plate Scanners and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Imaging.

• Intraoral X-Ray Systems: Solely utilized in capturing images of a single tooth or particular zones of the mouth. Their common applications include Diagnosing caries, determining the viability of tooth and bone tissue in the area of teeth, and studying teeth formation and bone tissue of the jaws.

• Extraoral X-Ray Systems: Takes images of all the mouth area together with the jaws, teeth and other related structures. Examines the growth and eruption of teeth, assesses the jaws and facial structures, and maps out dental braces treatment.

• Intraoral Plate Scanners: Intraoral radiography phosphor plate images are digitized. Digital imaging technology- The shift from film-based to digital imaging system in dental practices.

• Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Imaging: Provides clear and precise images and passes a complete three- dimensional picture of the patients dental structure. It It facilitates better diagnosis and management of complicated cases since specialists can view multiple images of the same case.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Dental Clinics, Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centers.

• Dental Clinics: Intraoral X-ray systems include the open-ended tube, and closed tube that gives particular radiographic images in ninety seconds which is useful for routine examinations of the teeth to diagnose caries, periodontal diseases, and development of teeth. Comparison of imaging modalities: Extraoral X-rays and CBCT imaging both have paramount importance in the preoperative planning of implants, orthodontic treatment, and endodontic treatments such as root canal treatment.

• Hospitals: Healthcare facilities such as hospitals may also offer additional dental care services like emergency care, surgeries, some special treatments, and using different radiology devices. CBCT imaging has been particularly valuable in complex cases that include surgical procedures in maxillofacial regions, facial and cranial injuries, as well as comprehensive dental treatments.

• Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs): Extraoral X-ray systems and CBCT imaging are used in pre-surgical consultations and post-operative evaluations of outpatient surgery patients. ASCs also handle specialised processes including implant dentistry, extraction of impacted teeth and orthognathic surgery which all depend on imaging.

Driving Factors

"Increasing Prevalence of Dental Disorders to Boost the Market"

Dental diseases including caries, periodontal diseases, and oral malignancies are increasingly becoming prevalent hence a factor that cannot be overlooked. The demographic structure of the population also affects the need for such procedures as people age and consume unhealthy diets, diseases become more difficult to diagnose without the help of imaging techniques. Consumer awareness about dental health and check-ups is rising steadily, which is propelling the growth in the demand for dental radiology equipment.
