The global adoption of 3D printing in both digital dentistry and
dental prosthetics is a transformative trend, driving significant
advancements in these markets. 3D printing technology offers
unparalleled precision and customization, enabling the production
of highly accurate dental models, crowns, bridges, and other
prosthetics. As materials and printing techniques continue to
improve, the integration of 3D printing is expected to expand,
further enhancing the capabilities and offerings within digital
dentistry and dental prosthetics.
Despite the rise of 3D-printing technologies, the CAD/CAM market
has retained its dominant position. In digital dentistry, the
CAD/CAM market was significantly influenced by the intraoral
scanner segment, which is expected to see rapid growth due to the
digitization trend in modern dental clinics. On the other hand, in
the dental prosthetics market, the rising adoption of CAD/CAM
technology, especially chairside systems, streamlines prosthetic
fabrication and reduces labor. This caters to the growing demand
for single-appointment dentistry, benefiting both dentists and
patients.
Can Advancements in Digital Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics
Solve Global Oral Health Challenges?
Dental cavities and periodontal diseases remain the top oral
health challenges worldwide, affecting nearly 3.5 billion people
according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Untreated dental
cavities are particularly prevalent, impacting over 2 billion
people and 92% of adults aged 20 to 64. The Western Pacific region
sees the highest prevalence at 46%, while the African region has
the lowest at 39%. In Southeast
Asia, there are approximately 135 million cases of cavities,
compared to 41 million in Europe.
Furthermore, untreated tooth decay affects up to 70% of children in
India, 33% of teenagers in
Tanzania, and nearly one-third of
adults in Brazil. Complete tooth
loss, or edentulism, affects 20% of the adult population globally,
with a higher prevalence of 23% among those aged 60 and older.
However, advancements in digital dentistry and dental prosthetics
are helping to address these issues, providing innovative solutions
to improve oral health and access to dental care.

Dental devices such as crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and
dentures play crucial roles in treating oral diseases. Crowns cover
and protect damaged teeth, while bridges fill gaps from missing
teeth. Inlays and onlays repair less extensive damage, and dentures
replace missing teeth due to gum disease, decay, or injury.
Advanced CAD/CAM technology uses digital scanning and
computer-aided design to create precise dental restorations, with
intraoral scanners providing quick, efficient, and comfortable
digital impressions. Additionally, rapid prototyping systems, or 3D
printers, represent an emerging technology. Unlike subtractive
CAD/CAM mills that carve out prosthetics from a solid piece of
material, 3D printers build models layer by layer in an additive
process. These innovations enhance the accuracy and effectiveness
of dental treatments.
The Global Adoption of Dental 3D Printing
Dental 3D printing has become integral to digital workflows in
dental labs and orthodontic settings across the U.S., Asia Pacific (South
Korea, Japan, India, China,
Australia), Europe, and Latin American (Mexico, Brazil, Colombia) digital dentistry markets. In the
U.S., innovations in materials, technology, and digital workflows
have driven significant market growth. Asia Pacific has seen rapid adoption,
especially for crown and bridge models, despite being the smallest
segment in digital dentistry. Europe focuses on cost-effective, efficient
production of temporary prosthetics, with further market
penetration expected as 3D printers evolve. In Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia, adoption lags but is expected to
grow with affordable entry-level machines, despite price
variability.

Innovations in materials and printer technology have spurred the
adoption of dental 3D printing for producing crowns, bridges, full
dentures, partial dentures, models, surgical guides, and guards in
the dental prosthetics market. Globally, 3D-printed denture
workflows have made immediate dentures more accessible and
affordable compared to milled dentures, driving market
growth.
"As 3D printing becomes more widespread, it is expected to
complement rather than replace well-established CAD/CAM technology,
making immediate dentures available to more patients and
stimulating overall market expansion." Kamran Zamanian,
CEO
