Zirconia Based Dental Materials Market, by Product (Zirconia Dental Disc and Zirconia Dental Block), by Application (Dental Crowns, Dental Bridges, Dental Implants, and Dental Dentures), by End User (Hospitals, Dental Clinics, and Others), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Zirconia has been used in dentistry as a replacement for metal-ceramic dental restorations. Because of its biological, mechanical, and optical properties, zirconia has emerged as a versatile and promising material among dental ceramics, accelerating its routine usage in CAD/CAM technology for various forms of prosthetic treatment. Zirconia restorations have better aesthetics than traditional porcelain fused to metal restorations, owing to their exceptional optical properties. It is being used in dentistry applications for producing endodontic posts, crown and bridge restorations, and implant abutments as a popular alternative to alumina used as a biomaterial.
Market Dynamics
The increasing product launches and technological advancements in optimizing zirconia based dental products by the key players in the market are expected to drive the global zirconia based dental materials market over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2021, KURARAY NORITAKE, a company that develops high-end dental products from ceramics to composites and even bio-materials, launched KATANA Zirconia HTML Plus, which offers an increased translucency and optimized color without compromising its flexural strength. It is suitable for a variety of applications, including long-span bridges with a minimum wall thickness of just 0.4 mm in the anterior and 0.5 mm in the posterior region.
Moreover, the various advantages provided by zirconia based dental materials such as zirconia crowns are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Zirconia crowns provide good strength and durability, thereby making them a good choice for crowns. Furthermore, zirconia is the choice for many dentists due to its biocompatibility, as it’s less likely to provoke the body into producing a reaction or immunological response like inflammation.
