Prosthodontic Equipment is Expected to Witness a Significant Growth Over a Forecast Period
The field of prosthodontics relates to all dental procedures that involve repairing or replacing teeth with prosthetics. This includes things like dental crowns & bridges, dentures, and even dental implants. A dental crown covers the damaged tooth and restores its shape, size, and strength, and improves its overall appearance. A dental bridge is used to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge includes two or more crowns for the teeth present on either side of the gap. After examination of the teeth, the dentist takes an impression of the tooth, to provide an exact mold for the crown or bridge. The crown or bridge can be manufactured manually or with the help of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. The crowns are a fusion of all-ceramic and metal-alloy crowns. The advantages of this technology are its greater strength and durability.
In the treatment segment of the market, prosthodontic equipment is anticipated to have the largest market share, during the forecast period.
