In 1917, Albert Einstein laid foundation for the discovery of laser and its prototypes by theorizing photoelectric amplification that could release stimulated emission or a single frequency. The term laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation and was introduced to the public in 1959, in an article in Columbia University. In 1961, a laser was developed from crystals of yttrium?aluminium?garnet treated with 1?3% neodymium. Later, the argon laser was discovered in 1962 while, the ruby laser introduced in 1963, was used as the first medical laser to congeal retinal lesions. Continuous innovations in the field of dentistry for efficient patient care proved beneficial for the overall industry growth. In addition, FDA approvals for dental laser and several product launches over the recent years have enhanced the demand for such equipment.
Increasing patient preference towards non-invasive procedures worldwide will positively impact dental laser industry progress. Numerous medical facilities now prefer blue and blue- green light non-invasive procedures owing to their benefits including less pain and effective patient care. Furthermore, these lights are extensively preferred to treat oral health conditions. Blue light therapy is a drug free treatment with reduced side effects and risks that has expanded its application in dentistry. Moreover, various clinical trials for dental lasers have gained effectiveness in refining several health conditions within minimum clinical hours. Hence, aforementioned factors will foster dental laser industry growth during the forthcoming years.
However, lack of knowledge regarding laser treatment in under-developed economies may hamper the dental laser business expansion. Also, high cost associated with dental laser may limit the product demand.
Dental laser market includes soft tissue and all tissue laser products to treat various oral diseases. The soft tissue dental laser segment held around 60% revenue share in 2018 and is projected to progress significantly by 2025 owing to rising incidence of oral diseases. According to WHO, oral diseases affected half of the world’s population, accounting for around 3.5 billion people in 2016. Thus, development of soft-tissue dental lasers has enabled dentists to revolutionize the dental treatments, thereby fostering segmental expansion. Furthermore, soft tissue dental lasers include Nd:YAG laser system, CO2 dental laser system and diode laser system that offers procedure accuracy with reduced procedural time. Also, wide application of these lasers in sealing of pits and prevention of dental caries should accelerate the overall industry growth.
The dental lasers have application in oral surgery, peri-implants, periodontics, endodontic treatment, tooth whitening, conservative dentistry and others. Oral surgery segment held momentous revenue share in 2018 and is anticipated to witness around 5% CAGR over the analysis timeframe. Segment growth is attributed to increasing demand for oral surgeries such as biopsies, jaw surgery and gingivectomy. Patient inclination towards minimally invasive dental procedures will upsurge the demand for dental lasers, thus resulting in business expansion.
