Dental Implants Market Trends

The market is witnessing rapid technological advancements that are transforming the design, manufacturing, and implementation of implants. These innovations are significantly enhancing the efficiency, accuracy, and overall success of dental implant procedures.

• Dental CAD/CAM technology has revolutionized implant design and production by enabling patient-specific implants. This reduces error rates, ensures a better fit, and contributes to long-term success, thus driving market growth.
  
• Surface treatments have become essential in improving osseointegration. Techniques such as acid etching and plasma spraying enhance the surface roughness of implants, promoting better bone integration.
  
• Also, dental 3D printing has enabled the creation of custom surgical guides and implants tailored to individual patients. For instance, in October 2023, SprintRay Inc. launched OnX Tough 2, the first 3D printing resin with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for fixed, implant-supported denture prosthetics. This advancement reduces surgery time and enhances placement accuracy.
  
• Furthermore, 3D imaging and Cone Beam CT (CBCT) have revolutionized the diagnostic and planning stages by providing high-resolution 3D images of patients' anatomy.
