DENTAL HANDPIECE AIR TURBINES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global dental handpiece air turbines market size was USD 0.63 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 0.84 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period.

A dental handpiece air turbines is greatly regarded as a high-speed rotating dental abrasive device, and it is a necessary machine for dental treatment.  Numerous studies have been carried out since its development to quantify and assess rotation effectiveness as well as noise. A dental handpiece air turbine is driven by pressurized gas and is distinguished by its tiny size, light in weight, and pain free abrading at elevated rotation speed. However, when particularly in comparison to a battery powered handpiece powered by a motor, its torque is low and its sound level is high.

COVID-19 Impact

Supply and Lockdown Limitations to Impede Market Advancement

The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with dental handpiece air turbines experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Coronavirus has had a negative impact on the growth of many businesses, including the activities of dental care. Regional governments around the world levied shutdown, causing business owners to see a reduction in the demand for the instrument or handpieces in the second and third quarters of 2020.

With the decrease in demand, manufacturers or industrialists have pursued out ways to reach the hospital or medical sector and government concessions in order to increase their product sales in the third and fourth quarters of 2020. The reopening of initiatives and medical facilities has cleared the way for the handpieces manufacturers in the market, and growing demand is anticipated to reach at greater levels during the estimated timeframe. Therefore, making the dental handpiece air turbines to reach at greater heights.

LATEST TRENDS 

Advancements in Handpieces and Rising Dental Activities to Stimulate Market Development  

In 2019, the higher-speed turbine handpiece component had the biggest market share of 51.8%. Over through the forecast timeframe, the segment is predicted to experience profitable expansion of the market for dental handpiece air turbines. This could be attributed to dentists' widespread use of high-speed handpieces. According to an A-dec article, an average dental practise requires at least three high-speed handpieces and two lower-speed handpieces for every operation. According to a research study that appeared in the magazine named as Prosthodontics, high-speed handpieces are widely used in Canada and Puerto Rico. Lower-speed turbine handpieces are expected to grow significantly in the dental handpiece air turbines market over the forecast period. The above dental handpiece air turbines are utilized for practices including such as dental decay and cavity removal, tooth preparation prior to filling, crown and veneer treatments, and so on. The broad application scope is expected to help drive segment growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

Implementation of Higher Speed Handpieces to Aid Market Expansion

The higher-speed handpiece is indeed a fantastic tool for a variety of dental work. With a single console, it can eliminate deterioration, organise the crown silhouette and maintenance grooves of a fresh tooth restoration, and polish any old or defective restorations. Numerous different types include ultrasonic devices, which emit high-frequency sound waves to start breaking down natural tissue like spine without digging into it; laser equipment, which blows away plaque from hard-to-lighten teeth while causing low thermal harm as lasers are condensed by special water vapour prior to use; and air abrasion machines, which may also be referred to as sandblasters because they blow particles against soft tissue structures, injuring them.

Utilization of Straight Micromotor Handpiece to Foster Industry Progress

With just a straight micromotor handpiece, the position of the bur continues to remain in the exact plane as that of the long axis of the handpiece.

This handpiece is employed to trim dentition, crowns, and bridges, in addition to clean with pumice and cut bone. The neck (upper body) of that of a micromotor straight workpiece or handpiece features a spinning style fastening gadget for bur change.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Contamination Risks and Loud Noises of the Instrument to Hinder Market Advancement

The air-driven dentists handpiece has been widely used because it is significantly cheaper as compared to an electrical handpiece. Utilizing compressed air energy, it produces a tearing or rotatory action. The air-driven handpieces are extremely easy to use due to their lightweight design and low head height. Nevertheless, air-driven handpieces have many drawbacks that dentists frequently overlook. The air rotor's distinct buzzing sound and vibrating sensation. The patient's pain and higher stress level as a result of the air rotor's loud noise.  The slower speed is caused by resistance built up in the molar while cutting. Torque level has been reduced. Cutting efficiency was disrupted. The more aerosols that form, the more contaminated the clinical environment becomes.

DENTAL HANDPIECE AIR TURBINES MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

Growing Preference for Cosmetic Dentistry to Foster Market Advancement in North America

North America dominates the dental handpiece air turbine market, accounting for much more than 36.0% of overall sales. This is due to the availability of talented dental professionals and specialized technology, a good standard of dental health awareness in the region, and a growing preference for cosmetic dentistry. The North America dental handpiece air turbine market is expected to expand rapidly over the forecast period, owing to an increase in oral diseases, low treatment costs, increasing supply for technically sophisticated tools, and a greater emphasis on dental aesthetic appeal and oral wellbeing.
