Global Caries Detection Device Market by Type (Fluorescent Technology, Transillumination Technology), By Application (Hospitals, Dental Clinics) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

The Global Caries Detection Device Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period from 2021-2028 and is estimated to be worth USD 2.36 billion by 2028. The growth in this market is driven primarily due to the increasing adoption of the devices for prevention as well as early detection of dental diseases such as tooth decay and cavities among children and adolescent populations in developing economies such as India and China.

A caries detection device is a medical instrument used to detect dental caries. They are non-invasive and painless as they use indirect illumination (fluorescence) or transmitted light for detecting the lesions on teeth. It can be used to identify infections, cavities, or broken tooth enamel.

A caries detection device is used to detect the presence of tooth decay, most commonly in children and adolescents. It can also be used by dentists to find cavities that were previously undetected during an examination with a dental mirror or x-ray. Dental professionals will use this instrument when they suspect that there may be some form of decay but are not sure if it has penetrated all the way through the tooth surface. The dentist might insert one side of a caries detector into a small hole drilled in the tooth's enamel layer for its tip to touch exposed parts below where disease could occur.

On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into Fluorescent Technology and Transillumination Technology.

Fluorescent Technology:

Fluorescent Technology is the most popular caries detection device type. Fluorescent devices emit a blue light that reacts with the calcium in teeth to produce an energy-emitting fluorescent response, allowing dentists and dental staff to detect areas of tooth decay that may not be observable by other means.

Fluorescent technology is the most common type used by dentists for detecting cavities in teeth because it requires less radiation than traditional x-rays while still being able to detect any areas that may be hidden beneath the surface of a tooth. Fluorescent Technology is used to detect tooth decay and other dental issues before they become visible.

Transillumination Technology:

Transillumination technology, also called light-transmitting or fiber-optic transilluminators, utilize fluorescent lamps to bring out the structures in a tooth. The technique is usually applied for taking intraoral photographs and dental x-rays of teeth and other tissues on hard surfaces such as bone. A disadvantage with this type of device is its inability to provide detail when examining soft tissue which may contain plaque buildup.

Transillumination technology is utilized in the detection of dental caries. The process involves a dentist placing this type of device against the surface of a tooth with no preparation or coating necessary on either side and taking an intraoral photograph using special x-ray film. This will show how much light penetrates through, allowing for the visual examination which can be used to diagnose any potential cavities. Transillumination devices are also used by orthodontists when performing bracket adjustments where they use it to see if teeth have receded too far into their sockets so that brackets are not visible and cannot be adjusted. Dentists also make use of these types of devices during endodontic procedures such as root canal treatment, pulp capping, and apical surgery.

On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into hospitals, dental clinics. The use of caries detection devices in hospitals has increased because it helps detect oral infectious diseases, which are more prevalent among patients with poor oral hygiene. Caries detection devices enable dentists to identify areas that require treatment and offer a clear picture of the patient's dental health so they can provide relevant care to prevent future problems.

On the basis of Region, the market is segmented as North America, Latin America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. The market in the Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period from 2021-2028. Increasing awareness about dental health among people coupled with the high penetration rate of caries detection devices has led to the growth of this region over other regions in terms of revenue generation.

North America accounted for a majority share in 2017, due to factors such as higher demand for dentistry services and availability of low-cost products. Although professionals are using caries detection device globally, it's more preferred by dentists across different geographies because they help detect early signs of oral conditions which lead to less costly treatments that can be done out-of-pocket without insurance coverage or government assistance.

Growth Factors For The Global Caries Detection Device Market:

• The rising prevalence of dental caries in the global population.
• Increasing awareness about the benefits of early detection and treatment among consumers, which is expected to lead to an increase in demand for testing devices.
• Shortage of qualified dentists globally amid a growing need for continuous training on safe usage of these instruments. This shortage may restrict distribution channels and hinder market growth over the forecast timeframe.
