Digital X-ray technologies allow dentists to access detailed images of the teeth, supporting structures, and oral conditions, helping make accurate and timely diagnoses. This improves overall patient output by preventing delay in the detection of dental diseases such as infections, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. As per WHO, severe periodontal diseases affect around 19% of the global adult population due to poor oral hygiene and excessive tobacco consumption.

Moreover, the growing geriatric population represents a massive patient pool suffering from dental disorders due to aging. The elderly group has substantial dental care needs with routine check-ups, planning relevant treatments, and diagnosing dental conditions, necessitating the establishment of digital X-ray setups. Age-related decay, tooth loss, and other conditions make geriatrics more susceptible to severe dental diseases. The WHO estimates the geriatric population to triple between 2015 and 2050, thus indicating a substantial need for dental diagnosis and care.

High cost of digital dental X-ray devices may impact the industry progress. Rapid digitization and technological advancements have led to the integration of next-generation image processing software, digital sensors, and integration capabilities. While these features have improved image quality and manipulation, they have also contributed to the escalating cost of these devices. Dental practices are also seeking infrastructure upgradation with the help of digital X-ray sensors and software which require sufficient capital and funding, limiting product adoption across several underdeveloped nations.
