Dental Polymerization Lamps Market, By Type (Quartz-Tungsten-Halogen (QTH), Light-Emitting Diode (LED), Plasma Arc Curing (PAC), Argon Laser) By End User (Hospitals, Dental Clinics, Other (Specialty Center, etc.)), And by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2023 - 2030
Dental polymerization lamp is dental equipment that is used for the polymerization of light-cure resin-based composites. Dental polymerization lamps are used in many aspects of modern dentistry. It can be used on several different dental materials that are curable by light and also used in dental practice to irradiate polymer-based repair materials to cure them. Quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH), light-emitting diode (LED), plasma arc curing (PAC), and argon laser are the different types of dental polymerization lamps. Resin-based restorative products in dentistry use the basic monomer polymerization mechanism. Photopolymerization works by using light energy to activate a photoinitiator, that creates free radicals to initiate polymerization and can absorb light. Quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH), light-emitting diode (LED) lights are commonly utilized in dental polymerization lamps. Problems that may be associated with light-activated resin-based composites include polymerization toward the light source, the sensitivity of composite to ambient light, and variability in the depth of polymerization due to the intensity of light penetration.
Market Dynamics
Increasing usage and demand for dental curing lights are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2021, according to the data published by Operative Dentistry, the evaluation study was conducted in primary and secondary dental settings in the U.K. to evaluate the quality of LED light curing units (LCUs) in primary and secondary clinics and to assess the effect of damage, contamination, use of protective sleeves, and distance of light tips to target on the irradiance and performance of LCUs. It was stated that 62% of the LED light curing units (LCUs) were maintained properly.
