Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a set of inflammatory conditions affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth. In its early stages, it is known as gingivitis, while in more severe forms it progresses to periodontitis. Market-wise, periodontal disease falls within the dental sector, specifically in the oral hygiene and dental treatment subcategories. It encompasses a range of products and services aimed at both preventing and treating the disease's progression. The market includes diagnostic, therapeutic, and pharmaceutical products, as well as specialized dental equipment and consumables. With increased awareness of oral health and its impact on overall health, there has been an uptick in demand for periodontal products and services. Professional care for periodontal disease involves routine dental check-ups, scaling and root planning, periodontal surgery, and even laser therapy. The home care segment includes toothpaste, mouthwashes, and dental floss designed for patients with or at risk of periodontal disease. Some of the market players specializing in periodontal products and treatment are Procter & Gamble (Crest, Oral-B), Colgate-Palmolive, Dentsply Sirona, Straumann Group, and Henry Schein.
