The key sections captured in the report for global dental CAD/CAM materials and systems include a thorough examination of the patent portfolios of key players, covering aspects such as the number of patents and types of technologies patented. It includes the latest trends, geographical distribution of patents, top IP player profiles, technological segmentation, and patent valuation. The breakdown of patents by technical segments is provided, giving more clarity on the specific areas of innovation within dental CAD/CAM materials and systems technologies.
CAD in dentistry enables dental practitioners to design prosthetics and dental restorations digitally precisely and meticulously. It makes it easier to modify treatments to meet the specific requirements of each patient, increasing fabrication process accuracy and efficiency. CAD systems are essential to contemporary dentistry practices because they improve patient satisfaction and clinical results.
Dental CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) systems and materials are dental technologies used in prosthetics, appliances, and restoration design and fabrication. These systems combine hardware and software to digitally take dental impressions, precisely customize restoration designs, and manufacture restorations using 3D printing or advanced milling techniques. The goal of dental CAD/CAM materials is to improve the precision, effectiveness, and aesthetic results of dental treatments. These materials include metals, ceramics, and resins designed specifically for dental applications.
The dental CAD/CAM materials and systems market continues to evolve as CAD/CAM systems have the potential to lower dental practice’s expenses over time by streamlining processes and cutting down on material waste. Also, the capacity to adapt dental restorations and prosthetics to the specific requirements of each patient propels market expansion significantly.
Increasing Technological Advancements is Expected to Boost the Market Growth
The rising adoption of CAD/CAM systems is fueled by ongoing improvements in the systems. It is intended to improve prosthetics and dental restoration capabilities, efficiency, and accuracy.
For instance, the Planmeca Emerald S intraoral scanner, introduced by Planmeca USA, is equipped to take full arch scans in less than two minutes and offers hyper-speed image capture that is 2.5 times faster than its predecessor. The scanner is designed in the same ergonomic, lightweight manner as the first Planmeca Emerald. According to Planmeca, this is meant to make intraoral scanning more efficient for dentists and more comfortable for patients. With the increasing acceptance and innovation in technology, there has been an increase in patent grants rising from 249 patents in 2022 to 283 patents in 2023.
Increasing Patient Expectations for Aesthetic Dental Treatments is Expected to Propel the Dental CAD/CAM Materials and Systems Industry
Growing patient awareness and expectations about the aesthetic results of dental treatments drive the need for CAD/CAM systems as they can create restorations that look natural and are customizable. Social media has played a significant role in promoting certain standards, compelling the masses to undergo cosmetic procedures. Understanding a shift in consumer behaviour, manufacturers are expediting new product launches, leading to a significant impact on the patents.
