The Global Digital Impression Standalone Scanners Market was valued at US$ 198.1 Million in 2021 and is expected to surpass US$ 752.3 Million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period (2022-2030), according to the Global Digital Impression Standalone Scanners Market, By Technology (Confocal Microscopic Imaging and Optical Wand Technology), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, APAC and Middle East & Africa), published by Coherent Market Insights.
Digital impression is a novel technology used to create a 3D replica of hard and soft tissues in the mouth for dental treatments. Over the years, the use of digital impression standalone scanners has increased significantly worldwide for oral surgeries and dental replacements. Digital impression is an easier process for patients and reduces their number of visits for the same purpose. This encourages dentists to install digital impression standalone scanners. Furthermore, digital impression is a highly accurate method and delivers dental restoration treatment with minimum errors.
Elastomeric impression requires an impression tray, tray adhesive, alginate, elastomeric impression materials, impression material disinfection, and occlusal registration material. Furthermore, materials require a certain time to set, and the process results in toxic fumes. An elastomeric impression costs around US$ 40 per full arch, while digital scanning costs less for dentists due to less material usage. Moreover, technological advancements in the market have led to the introduction of low cost and convenient devices, which in turn, is expected to accelerate growth of the global digital impression standalone scanners market over the forecast period.
