Next Steps
Optimization of the basic formula for the prototype of PES through additive ingredients
Evaluation of the physicochemical properties of newly developed formulas. Physicochemical properties should be in accordance with ISO 6876
Evaluation of the biocompatibility of newly developed PES. Biocompatibility should be in accordance with ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10
Market Application
According to American Dental Association (ADA), in Late 2005 - Early 2006, it was estimated that 22.3 million root canal treatments are performed annually, with the number continuously rising. Considering the number of root canals performed worldwide, the vast market for biomaterials produced in the field of endodontics is very evident. These numbers are expected to rise even further with longer average life expectancies and an increase in access to care. Additionally, it must be recognized that 15% of all root canal procedures do not have a lifetime expectancy even with great care, professional cleanings, and checkups. According to Globe News Wire, the Root Canal market is projected to reach US$ 1,388.29 million by 2028 from US$ 1,018.21 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2021 to 2028.
47.2% of all US adults have some form of periodontal disease. Furthermore, about 70% of adults aged 65 and older have periodontal disease. To add on, due to the rising intensity of the pandemic, patients were not able to visit dental clinics and the limited/uneven availability of dental staffs and other similar factors have had an impact on the market. The global Root Canal market is segmented on the bases of product and end-users. In 2021, the consumables segment held the largest share of the market, by product. Therefore, there is a lot of market potential for this biochemistry.
