Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) is considered the best way to get detailed images of the face and teeth. It's like a special X-ray machine used when regular dental or facial X-rays aren't enough. CBCT creates 3-D images of teeth, soft tissues, nerves, and bones in one scan. This technology is gaining popularity in the dental field.
The dental CBCT market is growing fast, thanks to more dentists using 3D imaging for orthodontics and adopting CBCT technology. There are two types of detectors in CBCT machines: flat panel detectors (FPDs) and image intensifiers. FPDs are the modern digital X-ray technology using silicon and solid-state tech to create digital images. Image intensifiers detect and amplify low-light-level images, but their use is decreasing due to quality issues.
In 2016, FPDs held 90% of the dental CBCT market share. This is because FPDs offer better patient access, less image degradation, and are widely used in dental CBCT machines. However, there are challenges. Many healthcare providers in developing countries aren't aware of these advanced technologies, and the time of exposure to radiation is higher compared to traditional methods, raising concerns.
The market for FPD technology is estimated to reach $302.5 million by 2023, up from $121.2 million in 2016. FPD technology is expected to have the highest growth rate, reaching a CAGR of 11.85% during the forecast period from 2017 to 2023.
Dental CBCT devices help in different dental procedures and offer better outcomes than traditional methods. Initially, CBCT was primarily used for surgical assessment of oral and maxillofacial pathologies and reconstruction. Over time, CBCT applications have expanded to various dental specialties such as orthodontics, endodontics, caries detection, implant diagnosis, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) assessment, preoperative and post-operative assessment of craniofacial fractures, salivary gland imaging, and periodontics.
