Dental
imaging is the use of x-rays to examine a patient’s dental structures. Dental
imaging technologies help dentists to diagnose dental disease by providing
actual and visual images of dental problem such as hidden dental structure,
cavities, bone loss and oral malignant melanoma. Dental imaging technology
market includes x-ray systems, dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT),
intraoral cameras and dental optical imaging. The general x-rays are sub
segmented into two sub parts: digital and analog X-ray. Digital x-rays use less
radiation and enables dentists to make a diagnosis more accurately. Analog
x-ray has only one hard copy, so need to repeat x ray due to low quality of
images.
In
South Korea, dental practices and dental laboratories are moving from analog to
digital radiography. With digital radiography, all process becomes simpler and
faster. Digital technology provides dental practitioners with numerous
technological and operational efficiencies when operating X-ray systems.
According
to study, “South
Korea Dental Imaging Market Outlook to 2025” some of the major
companies that are currently working in the South Korea dental imaging market
are Osstem Implant, Dentium, Neobiotech, DIO Implant, MegaGen, Straumann, Zimmer
Dental, DENTSPLY Implant, Nobel Biocare, Vatech Co. Ltd.
The
digital dental solutions are increasingly being utilized in diagnosis and
restorative dentistry, especially in implant and oral treatment planning.
Dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw
to support dental prosthesis such as crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis
or to act as an orthodontic anchor. It is of two types; endosteal and
subperiosteal implant. Oral treatment planning involves radiographic diagnosis,
abnormalities of the temporomandibular articulation, tumors of the oral mucous
membrane, mouth infections &their relation to systemic disease, and oral
manifestations of endocrine dysfunctions.
Basedon
the imaging system, dental imaging market is classified into two types;
intraoral and extraoral imaging. In intraoral imaging, dental radiographs can
be taken inside the mouth. In extraoral imaging, dental radiographs can be
taken outside the mouth. Both intraoral and extraoral imaging systems are sub
segmented into 2D and 3D imaging systems.
On
the basis of end-user, dental imaging market is segmented into hospitals,
dental clinics and forensic labs. On the basis of application, dental imaging
market is segmented into diagnostic, therapeutic and cosmetic.
The
total South Korean market for digital dentistry devices is growing at a rate of
14.3%, it is estimated that the market will almost $245 million by 2024. The
dental imaging market is
witnessing growth due to major market drivers such as technological
advancement, increasing healthcare expenses, growing demand in oral care, rise
in the volume of dental fixtures, growth due to geriatric population and
premium range of dental imaging market etc.Digital dentistry is the upsurgewith
more than 75% of all dental practices. Therefore affordability becomes a key
criterion for digital dental imaging systems. The platforms used in the digital
dental imaging system for enabling dental practices and dental laboratories to
ensure a smoother workflow such as interoperability and software. Due to
patient awareness, adoption of these digital platforms is growing rapidly, for
education and communication. The demand from patients is likely to push
dentists to adopt more digital technologies in order to reduce the waiting time
and improve the aesthetic options currently provided in the field of dentistry.
