Dental Liners and Bases Market by Material (Zinc Oxide Eugenol, Glass Ionomer, Resin-modified Glass Ionomers, and Others) and End User (Hospitals, Dental Clinics, and Research & Academic Institutes): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030
The global dental liners and bases market was valued at $1,322.64 million in 2020, and is estimated to reach $1,995.14 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2021 to 2030. Dental liners are made up of materials that can be applied in thin layers over exposed dentine during cavity preparation. Dental bases, on the other hand, are made up of materials that can be applied to the floor of the cavity preparation in a relatively thicker consistency.
Primary functions of dental liners include dental sealing, pulpal protection, thermal insulation, and stimulation of secondary dentine formation. Dental bases, on the other hand, are primarily used to provide pulpal protection through thermal insulation. They are further used to mark out undercut areas for indirect restorations with gold or composite inlays. Dental liners and bases are important parts of dental caries management. Several dental liners/base materials are used, including zinc oxide eugenol, glass ionomer, and resin-modified glass ionomers.
This market is majorly driven by increase in population, rise in dental caries & procedures among the population due to unhealthy food consumption such as acidic foods, and chemical-based foods, which increase the chances of having cavities and further requiring root canals. Furthermore, increase in the incidences of periodontics diseases among young adults and increase in demand for stem cell tooth regeneration techniques, particularly among the geriatric population are the factors that are expected to increase the demand for liners and bases.
For instance, in April 2019, GC America Inc., a subsidiary of GC Corporation launched bioactive restorative, GC Fuji Automix LC in Canada. It is a radiopaque resin-reinforced glass ionomer with a high fluoride release in a simple delivery system. It is suitable for primary tooth restoration, permanent class III and V restorations, core build up, and as a base or liner beneath composite restorations. Thus, launch of such products further boost the market growth.
Market players have invested in developing dental liners/bases products that can aid in several dental restoration treatment methods. For instance, Kerr Corporation offers calcium hydroxide-based cavity (dental) liner, which is designed for direct pulp capping from mechanical exposure when root canal treatment is denied by patient. Moreover, 3M offers various glass ionomers based products such as the 3M Vitrebond Light Cure Glass Ionomer Liner/Base Intro Kit, 3M Ketac Universal Glass Ionomer Restorative, Intro Kit. These wide range of products offering by market players have further increased the accessibility of dental liners/bases across different regions, fueling the market growth
In addition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, many countries face a significant health burden from oral diseases, which affect people throughout their lives, causing pain, discomfort, disfigurement, and even death. Oral diseases are estimated to affect nearly 3.5 billion people. Severe periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to tooth loss, is also very common, affecting nearly 10% of the global population. Furthermore, according to the Statistics Canada, as part of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) in 2019, overall 74.7% of Canadians reported that they visited a dental professional in the past year. Thus, the aforementioned factors are anticipated to increase the demand of dental liners and bases thus contributing toward the market growth.
However, risk of infections associated with dental pulp in dental restoration procedures and preference for endodontic treatment over tooth restoration are the factors that restrain the market growth. Furthermore, presence of a plethora of products in the pipeline and high market potential in untapped emerging economies are anticipated to serve as attractive opportunities for market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, growth in dental tourism in developing economies, various initiatives taken by the government and key players for increasing the awareness toward oral healthcare, and various free campaigns significantly propel the growth of the market.
