Dental Equipment Market: Technological Advancements Driving Digital Dentistry and CAD/CAM Integration
The dental equipment market is being reshaped by the accelerated adoption of digital dentistry workflows, with Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems serving as a core growth driver. These sophisticated systems—which encompass intraoral scanners, dedicated software, and milling machines or 3D printers—are streamlining the design and fabrication of dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, and implants. The primary appeal of CAD/CAM technology lies in its ability to enhance precision, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. By eliminating the traditional, time-consuming process of physical impressions and manual lab work, CAD/CAM significantly reduces the number of patient visits and chair time, while delivering highly accurate and aesthetically superior restorations. This technological evolution is especially critical given the increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry procedures and the growing dental needs of an expanding geriatric population, which is more susceptible to oral health issues requiring complex…
