Dental Membrane Market Driver

Rising Prevalence of Dental Disorders to Propel Market Growth

Millions of individuals in different nations are facing the challenge of eliminating different types of oral and dental illnesses. As public entities in developing countries such as India have not effectively implemented oral healthcare and prevention initiatives, people of all ages commonly experience dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and misalignment of teeth.

• For example, as per data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) in April 2023, the prevalence of severe periodontal disease in India above the age of 15 years was 21.8% in India.

The increasing occurrence of dental disorders, such as periodontal (gum) disease, can be attributed to various important factors, such as inadequate dental care, consumption of tobacco, and smoking.

• For instance, as per data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2023, the primary risk factors for the occurrence of periodontal disease are poor oral hygiene and tobacco consumption. As per the estimates of WHO, around 19.0% of the global adult population was affected with periodontal disease in 2021.
• According to MedicineNet, Inc. in August 2021, around 50.0% of adults in the U.S. were found to have gum disease in 2020.

The prevalence of periodontal disease is the highest in India, trailed by the U.S., Brazil, and Japan. In 2023, the estimated prevalence of periodontal disease was 233.9 million in India and 43.9 million in the U.S. among the population aged above 15 years.

Dental Membrane Market Restraint

High Cost of Dental Procedures Involving Use of Dental Membranes May Impede Market Growth

Dental membranes are used in several dental procedures, including implant dentistry, periodontal surgery, and ridge augmentation. Dental implants and periodontal treatments are expensive and not often affordable for middle-class people. Therefore, the high cost of dental treatment significantly restricts market growth, especially in emerging countries of the Middle East & Africa and Asia Pacific region.

• For instance, as per the data provided by Roots Dental in January 2024, the total expense of periodontal treatment differs based on the severity of the condition. The cost of gum graft surgery, usually done to treat receding gums, can vary from USD 600 to USD 1,200 for one tooth. Flap surgery for moderate to severe gum disease is a more complex procedure that may have a price range of USD 1,000 to USD 3,000.
• In addition, comprehensive treatments for periodontal issues throughout the mouth can differ in cost. The cost of full mouth treatments typically falls within the range of USD 7,000 to USD 9,000, with variations based on the severity of the illness and the complexity of the procedures required.

Therefore, the high cost of dental procedures incorporating the use of dental membranes is hindering market growth throughout the forecast period.

Analysis by Product Type

Based on product type, the dental membrane market is divided into resorbable barrier membranes and non-resorbable barrier membranes.

The resorbable barrier membranes segment accounted for a significant market share in 2023. Resorbable membranes, also called dissolvable membranes, are created from substances such as collagen (porcine or bovine-derived), laminar bone, connective tissue transplants, and resorbable synthetic membranes. They possess outstanding protective abilities and impressive handling characteristics and will eventually dissolve by themselves.

The resorbable segment is expected to record strong growth due to the material’s biocompatibility and versatility. In addition, resorbable membranes reduce the necessity for a follow-up operation, which mitigates the financial burden on patients. Therefore, due to the above-mentioned factors, market players are focusing on launching resorbable dental membranes, which is expected to drive segmental growth throughout the forecast period.

• For instance, in April 2019, LASAK s.r.o. introduced Collagene AT barrier membrane for guided tissue regeneration, which can be used with a bone substitute material. This collagen membrane is naturally resorbed, usually within six months, eradicating the need for a second operation for its removal.
