by The Dental Caries Detectors Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 299.2 Million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR Of 8.1% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Dental caries detectors are devices used by dentists and oral health professionals to detect dental caries also known as cavities. These detectors help evaluate the mineral content of teeth in a non-invasive manner. Key types of dental caries detectors available in the market include fluorescence-based detectors, laser-based detectors, and fiber-optic trans-illumination detectors. Fluorescence-based detectors utilize methods such as laser fluorescence, DIAGNOdent, and fluorescence ratio to visualize the demineralization on tooth enamel and dentin. Laser-based detectors employ diode lasers to visualize dental caries.
Market Dynamics:
The global dental caries detectors market is mainly driven by the increasing adoption of advanced dental care products and rising focus on preventive dentistry. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the U.S., dental caries remains the most prevalent disease worldwide which affects nearly 2.3 billion people or around 30% of the global population. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent further tooth damage, enamel loss and cavitation. This is increasing the demand for dental caries detection devices across various dental clinics and hospitals. In addition, favorable reimbursement policies and growing dental tourism in countries such as India, Mexico and Costa Rica are also promoting the adoption of advanced dental devices including dental caries detectors. However, high costs associated with laser-based dental caries detectors may restrain market growth.
Segment Analysis
The global dental caries detectors market is segmented by product type, application, end-user, and region. By product type, the market is dominated by hand-held x-ray fluorescence technology sub-segment due to its portability, easy handling, and instant caries detection capability without using radiation.
