Dental Liners and Bases Global Market Report 2024

The dental liners and bases market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.4 billion in 2023 to $1.48 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to advancements in cosmetic dentistry, a heightened awareness of aesthetics, influences from celebrities, increasing disposable income, and the impact of social media.

The dental liners and bases market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.73 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the demands of an aging population, economic growth in emerging markets, the integration of 3D printing in dentistry, a focus on minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry, and the increasing adoption of telemedicine and virtual consultations. Major trends expected in the forecast period include customization and digital smile design, technological advancements in veneer materials, innovations in dental technology, a surge in demand for non-invasive cosmetic dentistry, and the rising popularity of minimal-prep and no-prep veneers.

The anticipated rise in the prevalence of dental caries is expected to drive the growth of the dental liners and bases market. Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay or cavities, is a persistent infectious condition caused by bacteria in the mouth breaking down sugars, producing acid that demineralizes the tooth enamel. Dental liners and bases play a crucial role in restorative dentistry by providing a protective barrier and support for tooth structures. This helps prevent postoperative sensitivity, promotes tissue health, and enhances the overall success and longevity of dental restorations. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 514 million children worldwide and 2 billion adults are estimated to suffer from primary and permanent tooth caries, respectively, in 2022. With 7% tooth loss in adults above 20 and 23% in those above 60 due to dental caries, the rise in its prevalence is expected to propel the dental liners and bases market.

The increasing incidences of periodontic diseases are expected to further boost the dental liners and bases market. Periodontic diseases, inflammatory conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, use dental liners and bases as a protective barrier to shield the pulp from irritants and bacteria. According to a global oral health status report by the WHO, around 19% of the global adult population, representing more than one billion cases worldwide annually, was estimated to suffer from severe periodontal diseases in 2023. Additionally, in Taiwan, the National Library of Medicine reported 9.1 million dental patients with periodontic diseases and 18.4 million outpatient visits in 2021. The increasing incidences of periodontic diseases are expected to drive the growth of the dental liners and bases market.

The risk of infections associated with dental pulp in dental restoration procedures is expected to restrain the growth of the dental liners and bases market. Patient anxiety and resistance towards dental restoration procedures due to the fear of infections and complications may impact the demand for liners and bases. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, an estimated 13% of adults seek dental care for dental infection or toothache within four years, with 1 in 2600 people in the United States being hospitalized due to dental infections. The perceived risk of infections associated with dental pulp in dental restoration procedures is thus restraining the growth of the dental liners and bases market.

Major companies are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as high-impact denture bases. This involves utilizing ceramic-infused 3D printing resin for fabricating the gum-colored section of dentures. For instance, in May 2023, SprintRay Inc., a 3D printer manufacturing company based in the United States, introduced ceramic-infused 3D printing resins designed specifically for high-performance dentures. The resulting high-impact denture bases created with this biocompatible 3D printing material exhibit improved mechanical characteristics, including enhanced impact resistance. Compared to traditional denture base materials, these products aim to provide greater durability and resistance to breakage.

In April 2022, DenMat Holdings LLC, a dental products company based in the United States, made an undisclosed acquisition of Den-Shur Denture Caps from Prismatrix Decal Inc. This strategic acquisition is expected to diversify the range of dental products offered to end users, expanding DenMat's existing product portfolio. The acquisition not only broadens the availability of products for dental practices but also strengthens DenMat's network. Den-Shur Denture Caps is a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in removable appliance storage containers for dental liners and bases.
