A recent
report published by Infinium Global Research on dental biomaterials market
provides in-depth analysis of segments and sub-segments in the global as well
as regional dental biomaterials market. The study also highlights the impact of
drivers, restraints, and macro indicators on the global and regional dental
biomaterials market over the short term as well as long term. The report is a
comprehensive presentation of trends, forecast and dollar values of global
dental biomaterials market. According to the report, the global dental
biomaterials market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% over the forecast
period of 2019-2025.
Dental
biomaterials are specialized engineered material used to restore the proper
function of the teeth, continuously or intermittently in contact with saliva,
food, and drinks. Further, these dental biomaterials function properly during
different temperature range and different pH based food and drink products.
These bio-materials are bio-compatible and mechanically stable, which
facilitate its application as a substitute for natural dental products. There
are four types of biomaterial used in the dentistry, namely-polymers, metals,
ceramics, and composites.
The most
common application of the polymer is in the preparation of denture products. It
is generally used to prepare complete and partial denture. Further, it is used
to prepare denture soft liners, resin cement, pit and fissure sealants. Several
types of polymers are used as a biomaterial in dentistry such as Vulcanite,
Celluloid, Phenolformaldehyde (Bakelite), Polyvinylchloride (PVC), Polymethyl
methacrylate (PMMA). Additionally, PMMA is the most commonly used polymer for
different dental products owing to its low cost, low solubility, low water
absorption, repairability, and low cost.
The metallic
element used in the dental sector is of two type- noble metal dental
biomaterial and base metal dental biomaterial. the base metal includes
titanium, silver, copper, zinc, indium, tin, gallium, nickel and cobalt. These
material are cheaper as compared to the noble material; hence it is used to
prepare different type of dental products. Further, the gold, platinum,
palladium, iridium, rhodium, osmium and ruthenium are considered as noble
metals. These noble metals are resistance to oxidation, tarnish and corrosion
in heating and soldering, hence these noble material used to prepare the
different type of durable dental material. The ceramic is widely used
biomaterial in dentistry owing to its ability to mimic the optical
characteristics of enamel and dentine as well as for its biocompatibility and
chemical durability. The ceramic has numerous application in the dental
industry such as it is used as fillers in the composite resins, glass ionomer,
investment, and porcelain cement.
The North
America is the largest player of the dental biomaterials market, owing to the
presence of the leading dental biomaterial manufacturing companies in this
region. Additionally, the changing food habit, excessive consumption of
processed food is decaying the consumer's tooth and producing several different
dental problems among all age group people. As per the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, tooth decay is four times more common than asthma among
adolescents aged 14 to 17 years in the United States. Additionally, 64.3% of
the U.S. adult aged 65, visited the dentist for their dental problem, and
around the same percentage of patient aged 18 to 64 visited the dental
professionals in 2016.
