Dental Burs Market Analysis: Key Players, Materials & Applications

The global dental burs market size is estimated to reach USD 881.6 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing prevalence of oral conditions in developed and developing countries is expected to propel the market's growth. Moreover, the growing accessibility of oral care in developing countries owing to the awareness campaigns and initiatives is expected to contribute to the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, the Oral Health Foundation is celebrating National Smile Month from 15 May to 15 June 2023 to raise awareness regarding oral health conditions globally.

Dental caries or tooth decay is the most prevalent oral health condition and remains untreated. These oral health conditions can be treated with non-invasive methods if identified early. According to the FDI World Dental Federation, around 3.5 billion individuals globally suffered from oral diseases in 2020, and around 2.3 billion individuals were estimated to suffer from tooth decay in 2020. The high prevalence of tooth decay can be due to the factors such as changing lifestyles, high sugar consumption, and less awareness about oral hygiene in low- and middle-income countries.

Hence, the demand for dental procedures is rising with the increasing prevalence of oral conditions in the geriatric population globally. According to the article published in PubMed Central in March 2022, the prevalence of tooth decay in the geriatric population was around 49% globally. Periodontal disease, root caries, and xerostomia are oral diseases that primarily affect the elderly population. Even though these conditions affecting the geriatric population are preventable or treatable, many do not receive the necessary treatment.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the market due to the halt of elective surgeries and the risk of transmitting the virus via the oral route. Dental visits significantly decreased in many countries due to the virus's transmission risk. For instance, according to the CDC, dental visits in the U.S. decreased in the fourth quarter of 2020 to 61.2% from 64% in the first quarter of 2020. However, with the ease of restrictions, the market is recovering and is expected to reach pre-pandemic levels in the coming years. For instance, COLTENE Holding AG reported a 17.8% increase in the efficient treatment segment in 2021 compared to 2020. The efficient treatment segment of the company includes burs as a rotary instrument.
