United Kingdom Dental Devices Market Trends

Endodontic treatments are mainly focused on diagnosing tooth pain and performing root canal treatment and other procedures related to the interior of the tooth. The treatments specialize in saving the tooth as much as possible. They are also designed to go deep into the tooth, where the infection or inflammation resides, and to remove the infected tissue to alleviate the pain.

Endodontic surgery is most often an elective procedure, it might be the only treatment approach to address a patient's symptoms. In such cases, clinicians might be at a greater risk of exposure to aerosols. According to a research study by Jamie Daly et al., published in Community Dental Health Journal 2020, in the United Kingdom, as the incidence of COVID-19 infection fell, there was a phased re-opening of dental practices, with considerable variation in the guidance given for safe reopening. Upon re-opening, two-thirds of United Kingdom practices runned at less than a quarter of pre-pandemic capacity, with 78% citing the post-treatment procedure for the clearance of infectious aerosols after aerosol-generating procedures as the greatest obstacle to increasing activity.

However, growing prevalence of dental diseases is expected to drive the demand for Endodontic devices. For Instance, according to the Public Health England's report titled 'National Dental Epidemiology Programme for England: Oral Health Survey of 3-year-old Children, 2020' published in March 2021, 10.7% of 3-year-old children in the United Kingdom have already experienced dental decay despite having had their back teeth for just 1 or 2 years. Among the 10.7% of children with dental decay experience, each had on average three affected teeth. Such a large number oftooth decay generates demand for endodontics in the region.

Thus, all aforementioned factors expected to drive the growth of the market.
