Dental cement is an alternative material used to fill gaps between natural teeth. It resists and retains the pressure of teeth and jawbone. This cement is manufactured using composite resins and materials such as zinc oxide, zinc phosphate, glass ionomer cement (GIC), polycarboxylate, ceramics, and gold alloys.

Dental cement is used to secure dental crowns and bridges onto prepared teeth. It creates a strong bond between the prosthetic and the tooth, ensuring stability and functionality of the restoration. Furthermore, it is often utilized to reduce the spread of decay, as it provides pulpal protection, sedation, or insulation. Thus, an increasing incidence of decay is expected to fuel the market.

• According to a report published by WHO on March 14, 2023, globally, over 3.5 billion, people are suffering from oral diseases. Tooth decay or untreated dental caries in permanent teeth is the most common condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the dental cement market. The market growth was decreased due to a reduction in patient visits and cosmetic dentistry procedures. The highly contagious nature of the virus encouraged dental clinics to suspend non-essential dental procedures to minimize the risk of transmission. This led to a sharp decline in the demand for dental cement in the market .

• For instance, according to the report published by the National Library of Medicine on April 21, 2023, dental utilization experienced a reduction of approximately 80.9% in March 2020 compared to the previous year.

Dental Cement Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

Increasing occurrence of dental cavities is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. When the outer layer of the tooth gets damaged due to bacterial growth, small holes are formed in the tooth structure known as a cavity. Dental cement is used to fill those small holes to prevent bacteria buildup, which further reduces the risk of infection. Moreover, this filling ensures the strongness of the tooth to restore functionality, which further boosts its demand in the market.

•  For instance, according to a report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 57% of adults aged between 12 to 19 in the US are having a cavity in their permanent teeth. Furthermore, one in 4 adults has at least one cavity in their teeth.

Growing popularity of cosmetic dentistry procedures is another major factor boosting the market. The desire for a beautiful smile has been raised among individuals, which significantly boosts the demand for dental cement, as it ensures the proper and secure attachment of dental restorations contributing to the growth of the market.

Existing Restraints

High cost of dental cosmetic surgery is expected to hinder the market to a certain limit. Cosmetic dentistry procedures such as dental veneers, dental bonding, and tooth-colored fillings are the most expensive, which deters some individuals from opting for these cosmetic treatments. Moreover, the lack of reimbursement policies for cosmetic dentistry procedures restrains the market.

Emerging Opportunities

The advancement of technologies in the field of dental materials and adhesive systems is expected to create immense opportunities for key players competing in the market. Innovative materials such as bioactive cement and nanomaterials are highly being developed. This offers enhanced performance in dental restorations. Furthermore, these advancements provide opportunities for manufacturers to introduce advanced dental cement products with superior strength, aesthetics, and biocompatibility.

Scope of the Dental Cement Market Report

The report on the market includes an assessment of the market, trends, segments, and regional markets. Overview and dynamics have also been included in the report.

Market Segment Insights

Product Segment Analysis

Based on product, the dental cement market is bifurcated into permanent cement and temporary cement. The permanent cement segment is estimated to hold a major market share during the projection period, due to its high durability. Permanent cement is made from long-lasting materials, which increase its durability by up to 30 years. Furthermore, it ensures the stability of dental restorations and reduces the risk of failure. Permanent cement has good compatibility with dental tissues, high resistance, and insolubility in oral fluids. These factors further propel the segment.

The temporary cement segment is anticipated to grow at a significant growth rate, owing to its ability to provide decent restoration, and is easily removed without damaging the teeth. Furthermore, temporary dental cement provides adequate retention while maintaining the ability to be easily dislodged, which boosts the segment.

Material Segment Analysis

On the basis of material, the market is classified as zinc oxide eugenol, polycarboxylate, glass ionomer, resin, and others. The resin segment is expected to hold a key share of the market during the projected period, as it offers restoration that blends seamlessly with other colors of teeth. It plays a crucial role in cosmetic dentistry, where patients desire a natural-looking smile. Furthermore, resin-based dental cement has the ability to chemically bond to both the tooth structure and the dental materials being used. This chemical bonding enhances the strength and effectiveness of the cement.

The glass ionomer segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR in the coming years, due to its thin film thickness, high moisture tolerance, and excellent biocompatibility. These factors make it a popular choice for sensitive teeth or allergies prone teeth. Furthermore, will-tolerated against oral tissues of glass ionomer reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

Application Segment Analysis

In terms of application, the dental cement market is fragmented into pulpal protection, luting, restorations, and surgical dressing. The luting segment is projected to register a robust growth rate during the projected period due to the increasing awareness of dental care and a growing number of restorative dentistry. Dental luting cement is specially formulated to provide strong and durable bonds between the restoration and the tooth or implant. This secure attachment helps in maintaining the structural integrity of the restoration and prevents dislodgment or failure over time.

The restorations segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the coming years, owing to the increasing utilization of cement in dental restoration procedures worldwide. People are becoming aware of the importance of oral health and seeking to improve the function and aesthetics of their teeth. Dental cement is an integral component in the placement and fixation of these restorations, which ensures their stability and longevity. These all factors are contributing to boosting this segment.

Regional Outlook

In terms of region, the global dental cement market is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the assessment period, due to the presence of established healthcare infrastructure, including dental care. Moreover, the increasing incidence of cavities creates demand for dental cement in this region.

• As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 57% of individuals aged 12 to 19 have a cavity in their permanent teeth.

The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years due to the factors such as dietary changes and easy access to oral care products. Furthermore, the growing prevalence of several dental conditions creates a need for dental restorations that utilize dental cement. For instance, over 17% of the Indian population is having cavities and decay. Cavities and decay are the most common issues found in the Indian population.
