Future development trends of the denture industry
1) Digital promotion and application bring technological innovation
The use of digital technology has changed the process of upstream denture production. With the promotion and application of digitalization, the traditional denture processing industry has also ushered in technological innovation. For example, "CAD/CAM technology" is used in denture production. By setting up digital standards, manufacturers can uniformly judge whether the design structure is reasonable, and quantitatively manage the number of products, delivery rate, unit output value, and rework rate. The application of digital technology greatly reduces the intermediate complicated links and reduces human error. At the same time, it can timely monitor the wax type, form, thickness of design, size of the connector, occlusion level, and adjacent tightness of the product.
2) Implant dentures have great development potential and become a strong driving force for the development of the denture consumables industry
The restoration and treatment of traditional dentures mainly use two types of dentures: one is movable dentures, which are cheap, extensive, and removable, but have a strong foreign body sensation, poor chewing effect, and accelerate alveolar bone atrophy; The second is fixed defined teeth, which are characterized by beauty and comfort, but the scope of adaptation is narrow, not suitable for the situation of full mouth edentulous, and the healthy teeth on both sides of the missing teeth need to be ground, hurting healthy teeth, and cannot avoid alveolar bone atrophy.
Restricted by the fact that both denture types damage teeth and alveolar bones to a large extent, implant dentures have gradually become the third denture type, which not only has small, comfortable and beautiful external properties but also has excellent internal properties. The root of the implant in the implant denture is compatible with the alveolar bone and prevents alveolar bone atrophy. With the use of implant restorative treatment, the success rate of single implant dentures has exceeded 95%.
