Dental Extraction Forceps Market Size, Share, and Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Maxillary Forceps, Mandibular Forceps, and Root Forceps), By Application (Molars, Incisors, Canine, and Others), By Age Group (Adult and Pediatric), By End-user (Solo Practices, DSO/Group Practices, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032

Dental extraction forceps refer to the specialized instruments used by dentists for the removal of teeth. They have three main components including the beak, hinge, and handle. The beak is designed to grip the tooth, with different forceps having beaks suited for different tooth types and their positions. The hinge allows the forceps to open and close, while the handle provides the leverage for the dentist to apply the necessary force to extract the tooth. Forceps come in various designs to accommodate the tooth shapes and positions in the upper and lower jaws.

The dental extraction forceps market growth is highly attributed to the rising incidence of dental disorders such as periodontal (gum) diseases and tooth decay. In severe cases of such diseases, extraction may be necessary to remove the affected teeth and to prevent the spread of the infection. This is expected to drive the worldwide adoption of these products and market growth in the coming years.

• For instance, in March 2023, the World Health Organization reported that an estimated 19.0% of the adult population will be affected by severe periodontal diseases in the coming years.

The rising incidence of dental problems and the growing demand for dental treatments, particularly in developed countries, is propelling the number of dental surgeries, which is driving the adoption of dental extraction forceps. This is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, there is a trend toward the adoption of minimally traumatic extraction techniques that can preserve surrounding bone and soft tissues. Specialized forceps, such as physics forceps, which use biomechanical principles, are expected to fulfill this requirement, thereby boosting the market growth during the forecast timeframe.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the dental extraction forceps market growth in 2020. The outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted routine dental services and led to the postponement of non-essential procedures, such as tooth extractions, as healthcare systems focused on managing the public health crisis. The reduced availability and patient reluctance to seek dental care during this period decreased the number of tooth extraction surgeries, reducing the demand for dental extraction forceps in 2020.

• For instance, as per the article published by Springer Nature Limited in June 2021, a study from Israel noted that during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, there was a 53.0% reported delay or failure in patients' attempts to access routine dental care before presenting with severe odontogenic infections requiring hospitalization and surgical treatment.

Analysis by Product Type

Based on the product type, the market is classified into maxillary forceps, mandibular forceps, and root forceps. The maxillary forceps segment is projected to account for a significant share of the global dental extraction forceps market during the forecast period. The segment's market growth is attributed to the rising popularity of maxillary forceps among dental professionals. The maxillary forceps reduce the number of postoperative complications in several tooth extraction procedures, especially for premolar extractions in orthodontic treatments. This is expected to boost their adoption, which is expected to boost the segment’s growth in the coming years.

On the other hand, the mandibular forceps segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is attributed to the growing usage of mandibular forceps in oral surgery and periodontal procedures. In consideration of this rising popularity, several prominent players in the market have developed different forceps models that are recommended for extracting the different types of teeth. The availability of various models' is expected to boost the segmental growth during the forecast period.

• For instance, as of June 2024, the 17 Mandibular Forceps by Premier Dental Co. includes a selection chart that lists the different types of forceps models recommended for extracting the different types of teeth, such as incisors, canines, premolars, molars, and roots.

The global market is geographically segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to hold a significant share of the dental extraction forceps market during the forecast period. The market growth is primarily attributed to the presence of major players offering a diversified range of dental extraction forceps in the region. These key players offering diverse products, such as lower and upper extraction forceps on a large scale, are contributing to the surge in the affordability and accessibility of such products among dentists in the region. These factors are expected to boost the regional market growth in the upcoming years.

Asia Pacific is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast timeframe. The growth is mainly attributed to the rising incidence of the region's dental disorders, such as periodontal diseases and dental caries. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, sugary diets, and genetic factors lead to this form of disease in the region. Such conditions, if left untreated, may lead to severe infection and pain, necessitating tooth extraction. In such a way, the growing incidence of dental disorders is expected to boost the adoption of these instruments, fueling the market growth during the forecast period.

• For instance, as per the article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in May 2021, the incidence of dental caries in 5-year-old children had reached 71.9% and in 3-year-old children reached 50.8% in China. This upward trend in incidence was mainly due to the changes in dietary structure in recent years.
