Market Dynamics
Elastomeric impression requires an impression tray, tray adhesive, alginate, elastomeric impression materials, impression material disinfection, and occlusal registration material. Furthermore, materials require a certain time to set, and the process results in toxic fumes. An elastomeric impression costs around US$ 40 per full arch, while digital scanning costs less for dentists due to less material usage. Moreover, technological advancements in the market have led to the introduction of low cost and convenient devices, which in turn, is expected to accelerate growth of the global digital impression standalone scanners market over the forecast period. Digital impression has reduced the time required for taking teeth impression. With the introduction of digital impression standalone scanners, the time taken for this task has further reduced compared to the chair-side scanning systems. Digital impression standalone scanners ensure that the scanning procedure is completed in around five minutes depending on the patient's anatomy, operator’s level of expertise, patient compliance, and whether the targeted scan is a quadrant or full arch. Hence, these factors are expected to propel the global digital impression of standalone market growth over the forecast period.
