The dental 3D printing market was valued at USD 3.1 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow up to USD 17.4 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 18.8% during the forecast period.
Dental 3D printing is a method of designing three-dimensional solid dental models like implants, surgical guides, braces, dentures, crowns, and bridges. Dental 3D printing is an additive process that comprises laying down sequential layers of materials that are programmed by a digital file to produce 3D models. The demand for 3D printing in the dental industry has raised, as technology has advanced, allowing dentists to perform dental procedures with greater precision, effectiveness, and minimal trauma to patients. However, the high cost of materials and software used to run dental 3D printers is a major factor hindering the growth of the market.

Market Trends and Drivers
The key factor propelling the growth of the market is the high incidence of dental caries and dental illness. Dental caries or tooth decay is a common ailment across all age groups, with the global incidence of decayed and missing teeth (DMT) rising dramatically in recent years. According to the CDC, in 2019, 64.9% of adults aged above 18 years of age had a dental examination or dental cleaning procedure. According to the American College of Prosthodontists, more than 36 million Americans are completely edentulous, and around 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. The number of eventually edentulous patients is anticipated to boost to more than 200 million Americans in the next 15 years. Single crowns to substitute a missing tooth were the most common restorative procedure; according to the American College of Prosthodontists, ~2.3 million implant-supported crowns are made every year.
In the US, the most common oral diseases are tooth decay and gum diseases. Although less common, cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx alongside other oral health problems can severely affect the general health and quality of life. The first assessment of children’s oral health in LA country, the Smile Survey 2020, was conducted during 2018-2019 on over 100,000 children in 72 schools. The ratio of children with untreated decay was found to be 20%. Similarly, the prevalence of dental caries experience and untreated tooth decay across the US (2013-2016), California (2018-2019), and Los Angeles Country (2020) is 15.5%, 21.9%, and 20.7%, respectively. Similarly, the prevalence of tooth loss across the US, California, and Los Angeles in 2018 of age 45 to 64 years is 41.1%, 38.4%, and 40.2% respectively. Similarly, the population aged between 65 to 74 who lost their natural teeth is 13.6%, 7.7%, and 5.8% respectively. The annual dental visit in California is 49.7 % in children (0-20 years) and 25% in adults (Age-21+). Additionally, in Los Angeles, the rate of visits is 50.7% in children (0-20 years) and 23.9% in adults (Age-21+). Similarly, dental implants, dental prosthetics, and other dental products manufactured by dental 3D printers find high use in the restoration of the dental structure, the high incidence of target diseases will play a key role in the growth of the dental 3D printing market during the projection period.

Market Restraints and Challenges
The lack of a skilled workforce owing to limited specialized training in additive manufacturing is hindering the growth of the market. The paradigm shift in design and production processes through AM requires a workforce with technical know-how. A lack of trained & experienced engineers and designers is a major impediment to the adoption and advancement of AM. There is a very limited resource pool available for staff that is well-versed with 3D printing processes, which is further worsened by the increasing pace of evolution of the dental 3D printing market in terms of technology and materials. There is a dearth of training programs available for AM, and a wide gap between academia and practical applications is prevalent in the industry that is tough to bridge. The lack of a workforce with a full understanding of the design process and production cycle in AM affects the final quality of the product. The lack of such a workforce would hinder the overall adoption of dental 3D printing.

COVID-19 Impact
The dental 3D printing market was originally negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as most dental offices, clinics, and laboratories were closed in many parts of the world owing to lockdowns and quarantine restrictions in early 2020. This resulted in all non-essential dental procedures being deferred; the volume of outpatient cases lowered considerably in this period. Once lockdown and quarantine measures were lifted in most parts of the world, the patient flow was lower as most individuals hesitated to engage in the close-contact treatment required for dental procedures. Still, recovery can be seen in most regions, especially North America and Europe, as dental services regain normalcy. The Asia Pacific dental market has been slower to recover, especially in China and India. Still, the drivers that had propelled 3D dental printing previously, like the rising digitization of dental set-ups and the expansion of dental clinics and corporate chains, are still in place. This can be expected to promote the growth of the market in 2021–2022. In an optimistic scenario, the need for smoother clinical workflows, faster turnaround times, and fewer dental appointments could boost the market growth. Dentists may be more likely to invest in technologies like CAD/CAM and dental 3D printing to minimize the time taken to deliver dental appliances and treatment, and patients may be more likely to opt for these solutions for the same reason.
In the pessimistic scenario, it could be considered that the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dental industry could affect the adoption of dental 3D printing owing to its high capital and operational costs. However, this is unlikely, as market recovery is already seen in most regions at present. In the realistic scenario, it could be assumed that the long-term effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dental 3D printing market is neutral, growing slowly from Q3 2020 and going back to pre-COVID conditions from Q1 2021 onwards.
