Prosthodontics Segment is Expected to Witness Growth Over the Forecast Period
Prosthodontics is a specialty within dentistry that helps in the design, creation, and placement of replacements for chipped, broken, or missing teeth. Common materials used in prosthetic surgery include veneers, crowns, implants, and dentures. Prosthodontic treatments include dental bonding, dental implants, bone grafting, dental crowns, and dental bridges.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, elective and prosthetic dental surgical procedures have been significantly impacted, with all specialties writing various guidelines on managing this crisis. Regulatory bodies have had to triage the urgency of their daily surgical procedures and consider non-surgical management options wherever possible, avoiding all non-emergent practices. However, once the emergence of newer virus variants subsides, the market segment is anticipated to boost to its pre-pandemic levels.
Additionally, the increasing geriatric population in China and increasing dental diseases are the major drivers contributing to segment growth. For instance, according to the study titled, "Poor oral health and risks of total and site-specific cancers in China: A prospective cohort study of 0.5 million adults" published in March 2022, almost 90.0% of Chinese adults suffered from periodontal diseases of various severities in 2021. It also stated that the overall knowledge about practices of maintaining periodontal health was also low, with less than 20.0% of Chinese adults being knowledgeable about periodontal disease, especially among rural residents. Furthermore, it also stated that common oral diseases and conditions in China majorly include dental cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. Therefore, such instances are anticipated to propel the segment's growth over the forecast period.
