Global Dental Infection Control Market - 2024-2031

Report Overview

Global Dental Infection Control Market reached US$ 10.2 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 25.20 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period 2024-2031

Infection control in dentistry is a growing concern due to the high risk of dental patients transmitting and acquiring infectious diseases. Cross-contamination and disease transmission are also significant issues. To address these issues, dentists and staff must be safeguarded from disease acquisition and transmission to patients and minimize cross-contamination with instrumentation.

Moreover, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in its infection control guidelines, indicated that dental impressions are potential sources of cross-contamination and should be handled in a manner that prevents exposure to practitioners, patients, and the environment. Based on the corroboration of data and regulation confined to the province, appreciative standards of Dental Infection Control and Occupational Safety must be followed by the dental team for patient and dental healthcare safety.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rise in the prevalence of oral diseases

Oral diseases, such as gum disease and tooth decay, can lead to dental infections. Dental infections can also lead to other health issues, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.

For instance, according to FDI World Dental Federation, Oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people globally, with 2.3 billion suffering from tooth decay, 530 million children suffering from primary tooth decay, and gum disease affecting up to 50% of the global population.

Oral cancer, including lip, mouth, and oropharynx cancers, is one of the 10 most common cancers, with 300-700 thousand new cases every year. Cleft lip and palate are the most common birth difference, affecting 1 in 500 births. Noma, a severe gangrenous disease of the mouth and face, mainly affects children aged 2-6 years suffering from malnutrition, infectious diseases, poverty, poor oral hygiene, and weakened immune systems. Without treatment, noma is fatal in 90% of cases. Cleft lip and palate are the most common birth differences of the face and mouth, with clefts affecting up to 1 in 500 births.

Challenges asscoiated with the dental infections

Dental infections, which can cause tooth decay, can spread to surrounding tissues and cause gum disease, periodontal disease, and more serious complaints like fever, facial edema, trismus, dysphagia, or dysphonia. CT with contrast can help evaluate fascial space infection severity. Severe complications from dental infections are rare and include osteomyelitis, Ludwig angina, retropharyngeal abscess, parapharyngeal abscess, necrotizing mediastinitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, meningitis, and subdural empyema.

Market Segment Analysis

The global dental infection control market is segmented based on product type, end user and region.

The equipments from the product type segment accounted for approximately 54.3% of the dental infection control market share

The equipments from the product type segment accounted for approximately 54.3%. Dental infection control relies on equipment that thoroughly disinfects dental instruments and surfaces, reducing cross-contamination between patients and healthcare professionals. Sterilization equipment, like autoclaves, eliminates all microbial life from dental tools and instruments.

Ultrasonic cleaners and washer disinfectors remove debris and contaminants before sterilization, enhancing the process's effectiveness. Cleaning monitors assess the efficacy of these sterilization processes. Properly maintained equipment not only ensures hygiene standards but also promotes patient safety, reducing healthcare-associated infections in dental practices and hospitals. These tools, when used with consumables, form the backbone of infection prevention protocols in the dental setting.

For instance, in July 2024, Flight Dental Systems has introduced its latest sterilization product, the Flight Clave45+ Steam Sterilizer, which is designed to meet proper sterilization standards and operate quickly and intuitively in any dental setting, according to a press release.
