by Dental polymerization lamps, also known as curing lights, are essential equipment used in dental clinics and hospitals for polymerizing composite filling materials, bonding agents, and teeth whitening gels during various restorative procedures like fillings, crown and bridge placements. They work by emitting either LED or halogen light that initiates the chemical reaction in light-cured dental materials, allowing them to harden. With the rising demand for cosmetic dentistry procedures like tooth whitening, veneers, crowns etc. to enhance smiles, the market for dental polymerization lamps is growing substantially. Annually, millions of people opt for these procedures to close gaps, straighten, or reshape teeth for aesthetic purposes.
The global dental polymerization lamps market is estimated to be valued at US$ 379.2 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period 2023-2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends witnessed in this market is the growing adoption of LED dental curing lights over conventional halogen lights. LED lights offer several advantages like longer lifespan of 10,000 hours or more, reduced heat generation, lightweight and compact size making it portable, efficient light emission without light filtering, and lower power consumption. They cure composites faster while causing less sensitivity and porcelain damage. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on developing LED curing lights with advanced features like different curing modes, auto-shut off function for safety, a broad light spectrum similar to sunlight, and wireless connectivity. For instance, products like FlashMax P3 and Bluephase 20i from Ivoclar Vivadent have high-performance LED technology, wireless features, and multiple curing modes
