Market Definition

Handheld intraoral dental 3D scanners (IOS) are dental devices used in capturing direct digital impressions in dentistry. It works similar to other scanning devices where they project laser source onto the tooth site which has to be observed. The intraoral scanners have overcome many challenges faced by traditional scanners which use impression plates and trays. Due to these, patients prefer 3D digitalization impressions that are more convenient and comfortable. Due to technological advancements, the recent intraoral scanners enable the full teeth to arch scan in less than 3 minutes. The intraoral scanners also simplify the procedure burden for dental professionals by simplifying impression making in complex cases. The handheld intraoral dental 3D scanners are widely used for dental distresses such as plaque, tartar, worn down or lost tooth, abnormally shaped teeth, cavities, pulpitis, malocclusion, and others.

Global Handheld Intraoral Dental 3D Scanners Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising volume of patients suffering from edentulism

Edentulism is a condition in which a person has lost all teeth due to age, injury, or disease. This condition can seriously affect a person's quality of life, making eating, speaking, and smiling difficult. As the population ages, the number of people with edentulism increases, increasing the demand for dental scanners.

The increasing number of patients suffering from edentulism is a major factor driving the market growth. Recently, the number of people suffering from dental problems has increased significantly. Dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer have become more common among people of all ages. As a result, the demand for dental services and products has grown tremendously, and the handheld dental intraoral 3D scanner market has benefited from this trend.

Thus, the rising volume of patients suffering from edentulism is expected to drive market growth.

• Increasing awareness regarding  periodontal disease

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common and serious dental health problem affecting many people worldwide. The disease is caused by bacteria that accumulate in the spaces between the teeth and gums, causing inflammation and possible damage to the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. 

As more and more people become aware of the importance of good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, they are also more aware of the risks and consequences of periodontitis. Intraoral scanners can play an important role in periodontal diagnosis and therapy.

Thus, increasing awareness about the target disease is expected to boost the market growth in the forecasted period.

Restraint

• High cost associated with the usage of product

The High cost associated with using handheld intraoral dental 3D scannersis a major hindrance in the handheld intraoral dental 3D scanners market. While these devices offer many advantages, such as better accuracy, faster treatment times, and better patient outcomes, their high cost can put them out of reach for many dentists.

The cost of the procedures using intraoral scanners depends directly on numerous factors such as the usability, size, and material among more. As dental surgeries like oral and maxillofacial surgery are highly required, dentist prefer using intraoral scanner for many prosthetic and orthodontic applications. However the cost of the device and treatment fair for any dental impression with intraoral scanners are relatively high

Opportunity

• Rising novel technological advancement

The rise of new technological advancements will undoubtedly create opportunities for market growth. Dental intraoral 3D scanners are advanced devices dentists use to capture digital impressions of teeth and gums. These devices are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide accurate and efficient digital impressions, which is essential in creating dental prostheses such as crowns, bridges, and dentures.

With new technologies such as CAD/CAM software, and cloud computing, dental handheld intraoral dental 3D scanners are becoming more advanced and efficient.. 

Rapid technological advancement is improving the way we treat dental disorders in a more convenient and personalized way. These latest on-spot digital impressions using handheld intraoral dental 3D scanners have allowed dental clinicians to share results with the laboratory through email in minutes. They enhance patient care with high comfortable feeling cost-effectively. These factors are expected to create major opportunities for market growth.

Challenge

Lack of skilled professionals due to technological advancement

The shortage of skilled professionals proficient in handheld dental intraoral 3D scanners poses a challenge to market growth. Dental practices may face difficulties in implementing this technology due to the lack of trained personnel. In addition, the scarcity of skilled professionals can limit the adoption and utilization of these scanners, hindering their potential impact on patient care.

The operation of these sophisticated scanners requires specialized knowledge and training. Dentists and dental technicians must be proficient in handling the scanner, interpreting the generated images, and integrating the data into the treatment planning process. Unfortunately, the traditional dental education curriculum often lacks comprehensive training in this area, as the technology is relatively new.

Moreover, the fast-paced nature of technological advancements means dental professionals must constantly update their skills and knowledge to keep up with the latest developments. This continuous learning process can be time-consuming and requires a significant investment of resources. Therefore, it is apparent that the availability of professionals equipped with adequate skills is expected to challenge the market growth
