Intraoral scanners are the digital
devices used to capture 3-dimentional image of the internal area of the
mouth. The device provides details of soft-tissues located in the
intraoral area through images of superior quality. Intraoral scanners
generate videos or capture images, coupled with its software to
fabricate virtual copies of the intraoral area. The devices eliminate
the need to generate stone models or conventional impressions of teeth
in the dental restoration process. Intraoral scanners are becoming
widely popular among orthodontists owing to their lower lab turnaround
time and superior results in the form of 3D images.
The global intraoral scanners market is
segmented on the basis of modality and end user. In terms of modality,
the global intraoral scanners market is segmented into standalone and
portable. The standalone devices accounted for maximum revenue in 2016,
owing to the improved workflow of dental professionals in the oral
scanning procedures, and improved output of the device. However,
introduction of miniaturized intraoral scanners by key players in the
market, and incorporation of side-oriented tip in the small intraoral
scanners making the buccal surface scans process easier and quick are
the major factors projected to drive the growth of portable intraoral
scanners at a relatively significant CAGR during the forecast period.
Various end users in the global intraoral scanners market are hospitals
and dental clinics. Hospitals accounted for highest market share in
terms of revenue in 2016, which is attributable to the rising preference
of patients for technologically advanced and precise techniques for
intraoral scanning, rising per-capita income of the population, and
increasing incidence of teeth malfunctioning and other dental disorders.
Hospitals are expected to remain dominant in terms of revenue during
the forecast period, which is caused by the improvement in the
infrastructure of hospitals, rising number of multispecialty hospitals,
and favorable reimbursement policies by hospitals. Dental clinics are
anticipated to witness maximum CAGR during 2017-2025, owing to the
cost-effectiveness of the intraoral scanners, and rising adoption of
digital dental scanning technologies.
Major players in the intraoral scanners
market are Adin Global, Dental Wings Inc., 3M, 3Shape A/S, Align
