Which are Some Prominent Drivers of Dental Flap Surgery Market?

Disbursement of Advanced Dental Care boosting the growth of Dental Flap Surgery

According to the estimates published by the World Health Organization (WHO) 2019, periodontal disease affected around 14% of the global adult population, with more than 1 billion cases worldwide.

In addition, dental tourism is experiencing a surge in the developing market, which boosts the growth of the overall industry. Flap surgery is a type of gum surgery used for the treatment and repair of periodontal pockets.

Oral hygiene is one of the important parameters for overall well-being. Thus, the increase in awareness about oral hygiene is fueling the industry's growth. Moreover, a rise in the demand for advanced dental services is anticipated to create a favorable environment for dental service business expansion.

Increase in Gum Related Problems accelerating demand for Dental Flap Surgery

An increase in gum-related problems is advancing the growth of dental flap surgeries. Most people face gum-related problems at least once in their lifetime. This, in turn, is creating lucrative opportunities for dental flap surgery. The need for dental flap surgeries has increased owing to periodontitis.

Periodontal pockets are bacterial-infected areas below the gum line where gum tissue has been detached from the tooth. These pockets have uncleaned spaces where bacteria can proliferate.

Dental flap surgery involves the use of a periodontal probe in which infected gum tissue is separated from the teeth and folded back. Then, tartar and disease-causing bacteria are removed and gums are sutured back, so the gum tissue fits firmly around the teeth. Periodontal flap surgery is performed under local anesthetic.

This procedure is generally performed in an outpatient setting. Periodontal flap surgery is required for patients suffering from bleeding gums, gum recession, heavy tartar build-up, exposed roots, and tooth mobility or loss. This surgery is mostly recommended for patients with moderate or advanced periodontitis.

Early Wound Healing of Gums through Triangular Flap Surgery Making it Popular?

Tension-free closure is offered by triangular flap surgery making it a feasible option

The triangular flap segment is expected to retain its dominant position throughout the forecast period owing to good visibility in roots, early wound healing, and patient satisfaction offered by these flaps.

In addition, it is simple to close the gum flap and gives a relatively tension-free closure. Moreover, triangular flap surgery is useful in mid-root perforation repair and periapical surgery of short roots and mandibular posterior teeth.

The triangular flap surgery is considered a more conventional method as it avoids the raising of soft tissue from the buccal aspect of the second molar.

Furthermore, a rise in awareness levels among patients regarding triangular flap surgery and the increase in demand for dental surgical procedures for periodontal disease boost the growth of this segment. Triangular flap surgery is regarded as more conservative due to its less degree of tissue reflection.

The triangular flap is recommended for posterior teeth and maxillary incisors. The main advantages of the triangular flap are the absence of papilla retraction, the almost complete absence of scars, and the absence of gingival recession.

Moreover, postsurgical stabilization is more feasible with triangular flaps than rectangular flap surgery. However, some disadvantages of this surgery are vertical incision penetrates alveolar mucosa, gingival attachment is severed, and tension is created.

Thus, the triangular flap segment is expected to account for a 28% market share for dental flap surgery in 2022.

Innovative Modes of Treatment and Patient care Driving Growth of Dental Clinics?

Administration of Efficient Care attracting patients to Dental Clinics

Based on end-user, the global industry has been further divided into dental clinics and hospitals. The majority of patients visit dental clinics due to the availability of specialists. A rise in the number of dental flap surgeries performed in dental clinics boosts the growth of this segment.

More than 80% of the dental practice clinics are run by the owners. The number of independent dental practices is increasing globally. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years due to the cost efficiency and availability of specialists & technologically advanced dental equipment.

In addition, dental clinics lay greater emphasis on innovative modes of treatment and patient care, which is expected to lower costs and increase the adoption of dental services across all sections of society.

Moreover, dental clinics generally have general dentists as well as specialists available to aid with most of the dental needs of people. Furthermore, they focus on patient education to prevent oral diseases and offer treatment options for gum disease.  Thus, dental clinics are expected to possess a 70% market share of the dental flap surgery market in 2022.
