Intraoral scanners are the digital devices used to capture 3-dimentional image of the internal area of the mouth. The device provides details of soft-tissues located in the intraoral area through images of superior quality. Intraoral scanners generate videos or capture images, coupled with its software to fabricate virtual copies of the intraoral area. The devices eliminate the need to generate stone models or conventional impressions of teeth in the dental restoration process. Intraoral scanners are becoming widely popular among orthodontists owing to their lower lab turnaround time and superior results in the form of 3D images.
Rising number of dental restorative procedures across the globe and superior output of intraoral scanners which facilitates the detection of intraoral soft-tissue malfunctions are the major factors expected to drive the Intraoral Scanners Market during the forecast period. However, low adoption rate for intraoral scanners by orthodontists in emerging countries and high cost of the devices are estimated to restrain the growth of the intraoral scanners market during 2017-2025

The global intraoral scanners market is segmented on the basis of modality and end user. In terms of modality, the global intraoral scanners market is segmented into standalone and portable. The standalone devices accounted for maximum revenue in 2016, owing to the improved workflow of dental professionals in the oral scanning procedures, and improved output of the device. However, introduction of miniaturized intraoral scanners by key players in the market, and incorporation of side-oriented tip in the small intraoral scanners making the buccal surface scans process easier and quick are the major factors projected to drive the growth of portable intraoral scanners at a relatively significant CAGR during the forecast period.
Various end users in the global intraoral scanners market are hospitals and dental clinics. Hospitals accounted for highest market share in terms of revenue in 2016, which is attributable to the rising preference of patients for technologically advanced and precise techniques for intraoral scanning, rising per-capita income of the population, and increasing incidence of teeth malfunctioning and other dental disorders. Hospitals are expected to remain dominant in terms of revenue during the forecast period, which is caused by the improvement in the infrastructure of hospitals, rising number of multispecialty hospitals, and favorable reimbursement policies by hospitals. Dental clinics are anticipated to witness maximum CAGR during 2017-2025, owing to the cost-effectiveness of the intraoral scanners, and rising adoption of digital dental scanning technologies.
