Advantages of Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Technology-Based Dental Milling Machines to Fuel Middle East & Africa Dental Milling Machines Market

The demand for CAD/CAM dentistry is rapidly increasing among dental professionals owing to its advantages over traditional practices. These CAD/CAM systems’ benefits include user-friendly operations, accelerated practice growth, improvement in patient safety, digital impressions, single-visit treatment, long-lasting restorations, and others. Most CAD/CAM products include software along with the hardware mechanism that guides the operator through the processing and milling. The CAD/CAM-based milling machines also offer real-time troubleshooting, reducing the remaking of dental fixtures as the system can notify inaccurate bit-offs. Moreover, the CAD/CAM-based milling machines help increase dental engineering accuracy. Accuracy of dentures is highly important as the restorations prevent damage to the tooth. The milling systems supported by CAD/CAM also help to keep track of potential decay. Additionally, CAD/CAM helps dental practitioners’ complete restoration within a short period; practitioners have also found that patients treated with these methods have experienced fewer side effects as compared to the ones in normal implants and other similar types of treatments. In addition, the restorations made with the support of CAD/CAM milling machines help create a natural appearance due to the usage of ceramic blocks. Ceramic blocks are not transparent but clear enough to permit light through them. Hence, CAD/CAM technology is quickly being adopted in the dental industry as it allows dentists to improve their services and offer their patients a more comfortable experience. Thus, the advantages provided by CAD/CAM-based milling machines in dentistry are likely to boost the Middle East & Africa dental milling machine market in the coming years.

Middle East & Africa Dental Milling Machines Market Overview

The Middle East & Africa dental milling machine market is segmented into Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa. The growth of the market in the region is attributed to the growing cosmetic industry and increasing prevalence of tooth loss and other dental diseases. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of dental caries among children ranges from medium to high, as stated in the World Oral Health report. In Saudi Arabia, an estimated 1.5 million (11.5%) and 6.3 million (48.6%) people above 15 years of age had visited a dental clinic for a routine check-up and for a complaint during the last year, respectively. Accordingly, the percentage of children aged 6? and 12 suffering from tooth decay in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reached 96% and 93.7%, respectively.

Moreover, the cosmetic dentistry industry in the Middle East & Africa has grown dramatically in recent years and is extremely popular in the UAE, especially in Dubai. Apart from aesthetics, cosmetic dentistry also helps relieve discomfort and fix various dental issues. As per an article published in June 2021, the cosmetic dentistry division of Liberty Dental Clinic has grown by approximately 12% every year over the past 20 years. Several other established clinics experienced similar growth, and the total number of cosmetic dentists in Dubai has significantly increased in the last 20 years. The major factor in driving the expansion of clinics was the steady support of the Dubai government, as it has introduced a number of ground-breaking initiatives over the last ten years. This increased the ease of conducting business, provided a sense of security for cosmetic dentists, and positioned the emirate as a highly desirable dental tourism destination for patients across the globe. Thus, the growing incidences of caries incidences and rising demand for cosmetic dentistry are likely to favor the growth of the market in the region during the forecast period.
