Dental Articulators Market: Introduction
- The key to a successful and long-lasting dental restoration process is to adequately diagnose the issue and plan a treatment process
- An articulator is a mechanical hinged device to which casts of maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) jaws are fixed, reproducing some or all the movements of the mandible in relation to the maxilla
- Articulators have been a true asset for dentists across the world, aiding in artificially reproducing the interrelation of the upper and lower jaws
- Articulators are ideal for the diagnosis of occlusal conditions in both natural and artificial dentitions and helps in studying mandibular movements
- Based on the ability to simulate the jaw movement, there are four types of articulator: class I, class II, class III, and class IV. Class I is more common than other types.
Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Dental Articulators Market
- The global dental articulators market is driven by rise in prevalence and incidence of dental disorders. According to Oral Health Foundation estimates, more than 60% adults in Northern Ireland, 61% adults in England, and 69% in both Wales and Scotland visit a dentist on regular intervals.
- Increase in the geriatric population and favorable reimbursement policies drive the global dental articulators market
- Demand for dental articulators is expected to increase during the forecast period due to accurate fabrication of the biting surfaces of removable prosthodontic appliances (dentures), fixed prosthodontic restorations (implants, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays), and orthodontic appliances
- Rise in awareness about the benefits of orthodontics treatment along with consistent product modifications ensuring better performance and efficiency will further support the uptake of these devices in near future
- Technological advancements in the latest dental articulators are likely to increase awareness during the forecast period and adoption is projected to rise
- Unfavorable reimbursement policies and limited insurance coverage for orthodontic treatments in a number of countries are anticipated to hamper the growth of the global dental articulators market
- High cost and reluctance of many underdeveloped regions to adopt latest technologies are expected to restrain the global market in the near future
