Nanotechnology in Dental Implants Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019

Dental implants have been in the marketplace for a long period of time for restoring or replacing teeth. The surgery for dental implantation is critical as there are high chances of infections in gingival tissue when implantation is done. Another challenge for the dental surgeons is achieving osseointegration. As the introduction of nanotechnology has revolutionized the several branches of medicine, dentistry too has been benefited by it. Nanotechnology has been profoundly used to manufacture nanomaterials that are used use in manufacturing next-generation implants. The implant surfaces of dental implants are particularly being manufactured with such nanomaterials to influence the osteointegration process and minimize the chances of infection. According to American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the number people having dental implants in the U.S. are rising by 500,000 per year. The demand for dental implants is therefore on the rise and the demand is attributed to stomatological, traumatological and orthopedic damage of teeth. The global nanotechnology dental implants market is segmented on the basis of products into five major categories, namely, titanium dental implants, root-form dental implants, ramus-frame dental implants, transosseous dental implants, and blade-form dental implants. The new technology is being marketed by few market players such as Nobel Biocare Holdings AG (Switzerland) and Straumann Holding AG (Switzerland). The market leading companies are heavily investing in research and development to develop nanomaterials that are more biocompatible possessing qualities such as higher osseointegration, adsorption of proteins, and adhesion to cells and tissues. Introduction of innovative nanotechnology dental implants by these companies will help in consolidating the market due to their competitive edge in global marketing and...
