Market Drivers
Intraoral scanners (IOS), also known as 3D dental scanners, are gaining popularity due to their ability to create precise digital impressions of dental arches. These scanners play a critical role in diagnosing and treating dental conditions such as edentulism, periodontal disease, dental caries, and tooth loss, especially in geriatric populations and individuals with unhealthy lifestyles.
Applications include:
- Orthodontics: Diagnosis and treatment planning for clear aligners.
- Same-Day Dentistry: Enabling rapid production of prosthetics.
- Dental Implants: Enhancing accuracy in implant placement.
Prominent IOS brands like Cadent iTero, CEREC, TRIOS, and Planmeca are being adopted by hospitals and dental clinics, which are also driving demand due to dental tourism. However, high costs and limited insurance coverage pose challenges, especially for middle-class populations and underinsured patients.
Market Challenges
Despite its transformative potential, the IOS market faces hurdles such as:
- High Costs: Initial purchase and maintenance of IOS systems are significant financial barriers.
- Limited Insurance Reimbursement: Diagnostic procedures often lack coverage.
- Skill Requirements: Operating IOS demands training and expertise.
These challenges underscore the need for cost-effective solutions and policy changes to improve access.
