The Dental CAD/CAM Market is expected to witness a high
single-digit growth rate by 2031. The key factors driving the market are the
growing prevalence of dental diseases, the rise in the edentulous population,
the advent of AI-powered CAD/CAM systems, growing demand for dental cosmetic
surgeries, increasing adoption of chairside CAD/CAM systems, and technological
advancements in dental CAD/CAM systems & materials.
CAD (computer-aided-design)/CAM
(computer-aided-manufacturing) dentistry is a field of dentistry and
prosthodontics that is used to design and improve dental restorations. Using
CAD/CAM technology, dentists and dental laboratories provide patients with dental
prostheses (crowns, crown lays, veneers, inlays, and onlays), fixed dental
prostheses (bridges), dental implant-supported restorations, dentures
(removable or fixed), and orthodontic appliances.
Promising Prospects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Dental CAD/CAM
Market
The advent of AI-powered CAD/CAM systems has been
instrumental in streamlining the process of designing and manufacturing dental
restorations. AI-powered CAD/CAM systems use advanced algorithms to analyze a
patient-s dental scans and produce accurate digital models of their teeth. The
digital models are then used to make customized restorations that fit the
patient-s unique anatomy and bite. These systems offer advantages such as
precision, comfort, functional restoration, reduced chances of complications, and
the need for adjustments or replacements. Citing the lucrative prospects of AI
in dental CAD/CAM systems, players are incessantly striving to launch
innovative products in the market. For instance:
In March 2023, Planmeca introduced new AI-based tools
for Planmeca Romexis. Planmeca Romexis is a flexible and powerful software
platform that offers an extensive range of tools for dental imaging, diagnosis,
and treatment planning for all indications and dental specialties. It supports
the most versatile range of 2D and 3D imaging, CAD/CAM work and provides an
all-in-one solution for all specialties and clinics of all sizes
In November 2022, Korean startup Imagoworks launched AI-based web dental CAD 3Dme Crown. 3Dme Crown is an automatic crown design module of 3Dme Solutions, Imagoworks- AI-based web dental solutions. Based on the patient-s 3D scan data, using AI technology, the crown prosthesis design that is most suitable for the patient-s oral environment is generated in seconds
Technological Advancements in Dental CAD/CAM Fuel the Market
The Dental CAD/CAM market has witnessed a number of
technological advancements over the years. The technological advancements in
Dental CAD/CAM are expected to spur its demand in the coming years. For
instance:
In February 2023, ZimVie Inc. launched the RealGUIDE-
CAD and FULL SUITE modules, the latest innovations within ZimVie-s digital
dentistry software platform. The CAD (computer-aided design) module introduces
advanced software for restorative design and manufacturing, allowing for
detailed and sophisticated implant and tooth restoration. The FULL SUITE module
ties the CAD module to RealGUIDE-s existing Plan, App, and Guide modules,
creating a seamless workflow across the ZimVie digital dentistry platform, providing
a one-stop solution for a user's surgical and restorative design needs
In March 2023, exocad (An Align Technology, Inc.
company), a leading dental CAD/CAM software provider, introduced multiple new
products and service offerings at the International Dental Show (IDS) 2023. The
firm introduced the final three releases of its 3.1 Rijeka software series:
exoplan 3.1 Rijeka, for prosthetic-driven implant planning and surgical guide
design, ChairsideCAD 3.1 Rijeka, for single-visit dentistry, and PartialCAD 3.1
Rijeka, for partial framework design
