The Dental Caries Treatment Market
Dental caries, also known as cavities or tooth decay, is a common oral health condition caused by bacterial biofilm or plaque on the teeth. Dental caries occurs when bacteria in the mouth breaks down sugars and starches ingested with food and emits acids as a waste product. These acids wear away the enamel surface of the tooth over time leading to cavities. Products available for treatment of dental caries include restoration materials such as amalgam, composite resins, dental cements, dental sealants, and dental bridges that are used to repair cavities, replace missing tooth structure, protect remaining teeth and restore oral function.

Majority of people regularly visit the dentist for dental check-ups and cleanings. Preventive dental procedures such as dental sealants and fluoridations are gaining widespread acceptance. Technological advancements. Manufacturers are continuously focusing on developing innovative dental caries treatment products and procedures for better outcomes. Products such as composite resins closely match the natural tooth structure for improved esthetics. CAD/CAM dental milling has revolutionized the process of dental restorations.
