What Is The Driver Of The Dental Liners and Bases Market?

Increasing incidences of periodontic diseases are expected to propel the growth of the dental liners and bases market going forward. Periodontic diseases, or periodontal diseases, refer to a group of inflammatory conditions that affect the supporting structures of the teeth. The incidence of periodontic diseases is increasing largely because rising rates of diabetes elevate inflammation and make individuals more vulnerable to gum infections. Periodontic diseases utilize dental liners and bases to act as a barrier and protect the pulp from irritants and bacteria. For instance, in September 2023, according to the National Library of Medicine, a US-based medical organization, the number of adults with periodontal pocketing is projected to rise to 27.98 million by 2050. Therefore, the increasing incidences of periodontic diseases will drive the growth of the dental liners and bases industry.

Global Dental Liners and Bases Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the dental liners and bases market are developing innovative solutions such as high-impact denture bases, to gain a competitive edge in the market. High-impact denture base resin is a ceramic-infused 3D printing resin that is used to fabricate the pink or gum-colored portion of dentures. For instance, in May 2023, SprintRay Inc., a US-based 3D printer manufacturing company, launched ceramic-infused 3D printing resins for high-performance dentures. High-impact denture base can be created using this ceramic-infused, biocompatible 3D printing material. This copolymer of high-impact acrylic resin improves the mechanical characteristics of denture bases, including as impact resistance. Compared to conventional denture base materials, these high-impact denture base resin products are intended to offer greater durability and breakage resistance.
