Dental 3D Printing Market Driver

The dental industry has shifted towards cosmetic dentistry and preventive dental care as the major area of demand of dental care:

• The development of beneficial solitude results from the provision of extra financial resources, which in turn makes more people, mainly the elderly, to willingly undertake expensive cosmetic procedures. Dental patients refer to dentistry as sort of the field which provides options to restore teeth and aesthetic treatments such as polishing or whitening of teeth are in need practically all around the world. Moreover, in both developing and economically developed countries, there is an uptick in the need for preventive dental services along with an adoption surge of cosmetic dentistry because people get more and more focused on the dental aesthetics, they use unwholesome habits, and benefit from the use of dental 3D printing methodology in dentistry.

• A rise in toothlessness among the older adults: Tooth loss (edentulism) is a life-threatening malady for middle-aged patients. i.e., the reports of WHO says that there are 30% of individuals among senior citizens who are edentulous. This said number of old people is initially expected to get better and this is because the structural facilities and housing used for them, and their care services and hospitals must be built. Tooth loss is related to periodontal disease & dental shoulders. Woman outlives the man. Consequently, the older population which normally consists of the aged is dominated by women.

Dental 3D Printing Market Restraints

High operating cost due & capital investment:

• The high cost of 3D printing process makes it difficult for small and medium-sized labs to afford equipment. Through many dental labs being small or medium-sized, this is a very big dilemma in the Market. The biggest factor that would make the high-end 3D printer unaffordable for most users is the production cost of the printer. This makes laboratory dependent on the federal money to take longer time to secure a loan that will support in putting the money and retraining new staff.
• Providing space, equipment impscription, and trained staff via this route may increase their budgets considerably. Therefore, many smaller dental clinics may require outsourcing manufacturing services to service laboratories or bureaus. On the other hand, as the lead time rises, the level of printing speed shrinks almost irreversibly, with parts taking days or weeks to be fabricated.
