A Better Approach To Dental X-Ray and Impact of COVID-19……..

First impression is the last impression, and with regards to physical appearance, consumers are taking this age-old adage very seriously now. How does it benefit the dental X-ray market?


The global dental X-ray market size is expected to reach USD 2.4 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is anticipated to witness lucrative growth during the period 2016 - 2024. This growth is attributed to a majority of factors concerning the prevalence of oral diseases worldwide
.
With Covid-19 infections rising globally, the apprehension regarding a shortage of essential life-saving devices and other essential medical supplies in order to prevent the spread of this pandemic and provide optimum care to the infected also widens. In addition, till a pharmacological treatment is developed, ventilators act as a vital treatment preference for the COVID-19 patients, who may require critical care. Moreover, there is an urgent need for a rapid acceleration in the manufacturing process for a wide range of test-kits (antibody tests, self-administered, and others). The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.

Oral diseases affect around 3.9 billion people across the globe, and untreated tooth decay affects around 45% of the world’s population. Rising forms of oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, thrush and cavities are noticeably prevalent among the general public. Gum diseases are painful and hamper overall appearance of any person. Severe periodontal disease, that can potentially result in tooth loss is found in 15-20% of population between 35-44 years. These are some of the facts that will make the global population sit up and take notice, and thus helped the global growth of the dental X-ray market.

The major players leading the industry are Carestream Health, Inc., Danaher Corporation, LED Medical Diagnostics, Inc., and Planmeca Oy, among others. New product development aimed at increasing the cost efficiency of products and technological innovations are the key strategies adopted by these companies.

Dental X-rays - Types
The increasing awareness on gum diseases and its harmful effects has caused people to take early precautionary measures to maintain their oral health and avoid any future grievances. Dental X-rays are diagnostic equipment that enable dentists to detect the presence of dental anomalies. There are two main types of dental X-rays – intraoral (X-ray film is inside the mouth) and extraoral (X-ray film is outside the mouth). Intraoral X-rays involve the determination of dental health, cavity check and checking status of developing teeth, and are sub-classified into bitewing, occlusal and periapical; while extraoral X-rays search for impacted teeth, along with monitoring development and growth of the jaws, and can be sub-segmented into panoramic and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Further key findings from the study suggest:

• As of 2015, in North America, the U.S. is estimated to be the highest grossing market  due to the high prevalence of oral and gum-related diseasesin the region.
• Digital X-ray systems are gaining significant popularity, though analog systems continue to exist at large. The digital sensor technology segment has already been studied to be growing at a rapid pace owing to the huge necessity and demand for technologically advanced products in the U.S. dental X-ray market.
• Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region during the forecast period. This growth is expected due to the steep rise in the healthcare spending in countries including China and India.
• The Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) segment has recorded the highest growth rate among all other extraoral radiography systems. They have been outstripping the growth of extraoral systems, such as cephalometric and panoramic systems, ascribable to its ability to provide images with increased clarity of contrasting structures, thus allowing better diagnosis.
• The industry comprises several local as well as global players. Some of the major players of this industry include Sirona Dental Systems, Inc., Planmeca Oy, Carestream Health, Inc., and Danaher Corporation.

The dental x-ray market by product is classified into digital and analog. Analog radiographs have been studied to be the predominant type in radiography. Though analog systems, comprising a cassette, film, and intensifying screen are dominating this space, a gradual transition to digital systems has been observed in the recent years. The digital radiography segment is anticipated to gain significant momentum, as it is a cleaner technology requiring no films or chemicals and the distinct advantages that these systems offer are promising.

• Commercial and educational institutions need to carry out routine oral and dental checkups of the employees and students, which has created huge opportunities for the market.

The dental X-ray market has been classified by type, product, and application. By type, the market is classified into digital and analog. On the basis of product, it is distinguished by intraoral and extraoral X-ray systems with intraoral being the most common type of dental imaging system in use. The intraoral segment is further classified into bitewing, occlusal, and periapical.The extra-oral radiography systems are of two types, namely panoramic and conebeam computed tomography. On the basis of applications, this categoryis classified asdiagnostic and therapeutic, cosmetic, and forensic dentistry areas.
