Global Endodontics Devices Market, by Instruments (Scalers, Apex Locater, Motors, Handpiece, and Laser), by Consumables (Access Cavity Preparation, Endodontics Files, Burs, Drill, Lubricant, and Obturation), by End User (Clinics and Hospitals), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,738.9 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2021-2028), as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Global Endodontics Devices Market- Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and lockdowns in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors. The private healthcare sector is one of the sectors, which has been majorly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown in various countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic has created an economic burden on the private healthcare sectors. For instance, according to frontiers in Dental Medicine, few of the changes such as using sanitizers, were made regarding treatment of dental patients. Dental procedures were considered high-risk practices for contracting COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the U.S., formulates continuously evolving guidelines for infection prevention and control in dental settings specific for COVID-19. Among the several changes that were implemented to their practice, 92.0% instituted virtual health, including triaging and 77% ramped up PPEs compared to pre-COVID-19 period, which included counter-top plexiglass barriers, use of N95 mask, face shield, body suits, and others. This guidelines was followed by 69.6% made changes to layout of traffic flow in their clinic (e.g., separate entrance and exit, 6-ft markers), 41.1% chose to stop performing aerosol-producing procedures using ultrasonic tips and water-cooled high-speed handpieces, 16.1% installed negative pressure equipment, and 15.2% chose stringent aseptic measures such as shortened treatment time, full wipe down after each patient, reduced patient capacity, pre-treatment mouth rinse, use of dental dam isolation in all procedures, and other methods such as installation of aerosol vacuuming system, improved air filtering and use of ultraviolet light sanitizers.
Thus, impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to limit growth of the global endodontics devices market during the forecast period.
The increasing number of instruments launches, is expected to drive the growth of the global endodontics devices market during the forecast period. For instance, in June 2021, Dentsply Sirona, Inc., a U.S. based dental equipment manufacturer and dental consumables producer, launched pre-sterilized Blister packs of vortex blue endodontic instruments, this is in addition to the already pre-sterile ProTaper Gold, WaveOne Gold, and TruNatomy files.
High prevalence of root canal treatment is expected to provide huge opportunities to the global endodontics devices market growth in the near future. For instance, according to an article published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), in May 2017, a study carried in College of Dentistry, University of Dammam in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, among 3701 patients visited the clinic during study period. On average, each patient had 2.28 ± 1.88 root canal-treated teeth and 24.02 ± 5.03 teeth without root canal treatment. The average number of endodontically treated teeth increased with an increase in age. The adult group showed the highest number of root-filled teeth 314 (93.4%). Of the 336 endodontically treated teeth, only 75 (22.3%) teeth exhibited periapical radiolucency. First molars (28.43–36.36%) and second premolars (20.1–27.27%) were the most frequently root-filled teeth in both jaws, followed by the first maxillary premolars (11.76%).
