A dental cartridge syringe is a handheld device that dentists use to give anesthetics to patients during dental treatments. It is made up of a needle, a plunger, and a syringe barrel. The anesthetic cartridge, which houses the anesthetic solution, is housed in the syringe barrel. The dentist may precisely administer the anesthetic solution to the intended location, relieving the patient's pain and numbing their oral cavity, by manipulating the plunger. There are three types of dental cartridge syringes: self-aspirating, non-aspirating, and aspirating. Retraction of the plunger allows the anesthetic solution to be drawn into the barrel, and the needle is then injected into the tissue to be anesthetized. The solution is injected into the tissue when the plunger is depressed.
Global Dental Cartridge Syringe Market Driving Factors and Challenges
The need for dental cartridge syringes is being driven by the rise in oral ailments such periodontal and gum diseases. These syringes are used to give patients local anesthetic prior to dental treatments, which eliminates pain. For example, the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) reports that, among persons in the United States 30 years of age or older, 42.2% had complete periodontitis, of which 7.8% had severe periodontitis and 34.4% did not. As a result, the dental cartridge syringe business is driven by the rising demand for dental procedures caused by the increased prevalence of oral disorders. Additionally, due to changes in the structure of teeth and gums, such as decreased enamel thickness and root exposure, older people are more vulnerable to dental disorders. These factors might cause dental difficulties and increase demand for dental cartridge syringes.
A key challenge impeding the dental cartridge syringe market could be the lack of dental specialists. Dental cartridge syringe uptake and use may be constrained in many locations by a lack of licensed dentists and dental hygienists. Furthermore, a lack of dental professionals may result in longer wait times for appointments, which may prompt patients to postpone or forgo receiving dental care entirely. Dental practitioners may find it more difficult to accept and use dental cartridge syringes if there is a lack of dental specialists to provide training and educational opportunities for them. Furthermore, there is still a chance of needlestick injuries while using dental cartridge syringes, even with changes in syringe design. Some dental professionals could be deterred from implementing modern syringe systems due to this safety risk.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Dental Cartridge Syringe Market
The market for dental cartridge syringes was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The temporary closure of dental clinics, limitations on non-essential dental procedures, and heightened attention to infection control measures all caused disruptions in the dentistry business. Consequently, there was a decrease in the market for dental cartridge syringes during the pandemic. But as dental care returned to normal and infection control took centre stage, there was a rise in demand for dental cartridge syringes with improved safety features. In order to reduce the danger of infection transmission, dental experts stressed the importance of disposable syringes, needlestick prevention systems, and easily cleaned designs.
