The global implant abutment market size was USD 2216.7 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 4543.26 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period. In the market study, our analysts have considered implant abutment players such as Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Dentsply Sirona, Astra Dental, Zimmer Biomet, Osstem Implant, GC, Zest Dental Solutions, Leader Italia, Dyna Dental Engineering BV, Alpha-Bio Tec Ltd, Southern Implants (PTY) Ltd, B&B Dental, Neobiotech Co., Ltd and Blue Cross Blue Shield. 

An abutment is the metal part that acts as a base for the crown when a dentist installs a dental implant. Its purpose is to be a connector with one side attached to the jawbone, while the other end is attached to the crown. Implant abutments are usually made of titanium. On some occasion, zirconia and goal are used. Although, zirconia is being preferred as it has a similar color to that of one’s teeth. This makes it inconspicuous inside the mouth unlike titanium.

The global implant abutment market is predicted to grow rapidly over the years. The implant abutment has seen several developments in its procedures which is assisting the global implant abutment growth. These implant abutments eliminate the need for surgeries. This has minimalized the procedure only to reshaping of the gum around the crown to ensure a natural fit.

COVID-19 Impact: Limitation in Dental Care Caused Halt in Procedures

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the implant abutment market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The rise in CAGR is a byproduct of the implant abutment market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

COVID-19 had a life changing impact globally. The global implant abutment market was significantly affected. The virus had various impacts on different markets. Lockdowns were imposed in several nations. This erratic pandemic caused disruptions on all sorts of businesses. Restrictions tightened during the pandemic due to increasing number of cases. Numerous Industries were affected. However, the market for implant abutment experienced a major boost.

In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through dental offices, multiple governments classified dental treatments as “nonessential.” This put a halt in the implant abutment procedures. According to a white paper published by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) have found that 38% fewer patients visited dental offices at the beginning of the epidemic than before the pandemic began. The nature of dental problems changed significantly following the pre-pandemic visits.

The proportion of dental-related infections increased from 51.0% pre-COVID to 71.9% during COVID-19. Non-emergency cases declined to 30% in comparison to pre-COVID 19 levels. Due to lack of visits during the pandemic, this led to an increase in need for implant abutments. However, the pandemic caused a drop in manpower resources in the Dental field. Employment in California dental offices decreased by 60% between February and April 2020 according to AAID. But since the removal of limitations, the global implant abutment market share is estimated to grow.

LATEST TRENDS

"Spontaneous R&D to Benefit Market Prospects "

The global implant abutment market growth is anticipated to increase owing to recent developments in technology and research. According to a book on Dental Implantology on intechopen, dental implant connections called Matrix is developed using digital manufacturing technologies such as CAD/CAM milling and 3D printing. This implant enables seating of restorations directly on the implants without the use of cementations.

An article published on National Library of Medicine conducted an experiment to reduce bacterial leakage through various kinds of implant abutments. They conducted a thorough examination of a total 2110 implants. They concluded that all connections presented a micro-gap and bacterial micro-leakage; though conical and mixed connection systems behaved better. Several such experiments and research are taking place which would ensure the continuous growth of the global implant abutment market size.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Zirconia Implant Abutments to Boost Market Growth "

Initially abutments were made from titanium which would reflect when a person opened their mouth. But since zirconia was used for implant, patients were more convinced to undertake the implant abutments. They are very versatile and can be designed entirely using CAD/CAM technology. They have excellent mechanical strength and reliability. It also accumulates less bacterial plaque in comparison to titanium. This reduces the need for the patient repeatedly coming for maintenance. It also blends in with the color of human teeth, making it not so visible to a viewer. 

"Custom Abutments to Drive More Consumers "

Abutments are being made available to allow adaptation to individual patient needs. Custom abutments ensure the crown is a precise fit. This reduces fewer dental clinic visits and adjustments for the patient. It also helps the clinicians to create an ideal profile that promotes healthy tissue development. This enables margins to be placed uniformly without much pain. The digitization of the workflow has turned out to be in favor of the global implant abutments market share.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Failure in Procedures Obstruct Convenience "

There are several factors that could affect the global implant abutment market growth. Due to late implant abutments the number of failures increase. A paper on PubMed Central stated that the failure of dental implants is caused due to multiple reasons. The mechanism might fail after sometime of the procedure. At times, failures occur shortly after surgery. This causes patients to refrain themselves from undertaking the procedures. As long as the patients visit a clinic on time, would eliminate the chances of failure.
