Global Dental Polymerization Lamps Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.
COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others are facing problems with the transportation of drugs from one place to another.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global dental polymerization lamps market. For instance, in 2022, according to the data published by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, dental surgeries and dental treatment procedures have been decreased due to COVID-19 due to the higher risk of COVID-19 transmission through the particles generated at the time of dental treatment.

Definition: Dental polymerization lamps are used for the polymerization of light-cure resin-based composites, which are used on several different dental materials that are curable by light. A dental curing light is delivered over a range of wavelengths and varies for each type of device. There are four basic types of dental curing light sources such as quartz-tungsten-halogen, light-emitting diodes, plasma arcs, and argon lasers. The two most common are quartz-tungsten-halogen and light-emitting diodes.
Dental polymerization lamp is dental equipment that is used for the polymerization of light-cure resin-based composites. Dental polymerization lamps are used in many aspects of modern dentistry. It can be used on several different dental materials that are curable by light and also used in dental practice to irradiate polymer-based repair materials to cure them. Quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH), light-emitting diode (LED), plasma arc curing (PAC), and argon laser are the different types of dental polymerization lamps. Resin-based restorative products in dentistry use the basic monomer polymerization mechanism. Photopolymerization works by using light energy to activate a photoinitiator, that creates free radicals to initiate polymerization and can absorb light. Quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH), light-emitting diode (LED) lights are commonly utilized in dental polymerization lamps. Problems that may be associated with light-activated resin-based composites include polymerization toward the light source, the sensitivity of composite to ambient light, and variability in the depth of polymerization due to the intensity of light penetration.
Market Dynamics
Increasing usage and demand for dental curing lights are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2021, according to the data published by Operative Dentistry, the evaluation study was conducted in primary and secondary dental settings in the U.K. to evaluate the quality of LED light curing units (LCUs) in primary and secondary clinics and to assess the effect of damage, contamination, use of protective sleeves, and distance of light tips to target on the irradiance and performance of LCUs. It was stated that 62% of the LED light curing units (LCUs) were maintained properly.
