Recent developments
Faster adoption of chairside digital workflows (intraoral scanners replacing impressions) and tighter integration with CAD/CAM / 3D printing — drives scanner installs.
AI added to imaging chains (automated detection, image quality enhancement and workflow automation) is becoming a competitive differentiator cited in vendor and AI-in-imaging reports.
New lower-cost portable scanners and improved sensors increased adoption in smaller clinics and emerging markets (IDS 2025 highlights and recent vendor releases).
Drivers
Ongoing shift to digital dentistry (speed, accuracy, patient comfort).
Growth in cosmetic dentistry, implants and restorative procedures that require precise intraoral imaging.
Reduction in hardware cost and stronger software ecosystems (cloud, CAD/CAM, practice-management integration).
Restraints
High upfront cost for full digital workflows (scanner + software + milling / 3D printing) in price-sensitive geographies.
Fragmented standards & interoperability between scanner vendors and lab workflows — creates switching friction.
Radiation and safety concerns limit adoption of repeated radiographic modalities (less an issue for optical intraoral scanners but relevant for X-ray imaging subsegments).
Regional segmentation (high level)
Asia-Pacific: often the largest volume market for imaging hardware (many local OEMs; fast adoption in clinics across China, Korea, India).
North America: high ARPU per install, mature integration into specialist practices and dental chains.
Europe: early adopters for advanced workflows and regulatory focus on device certification; strong presence of companies like Planmeca and DÜRR.
Emerging trends
Bundled offerings: OEMs sell scanners plus subscription software, analytics and practice-integration (SaaS + hardware).
AI-assisted diagnostics: caries detection, margin identification, automated measurement and triage.
Lower-cost, portable intraoral cameras & scanners enabling outreach, mobile dentistry and tele-dentistry.
Top use cases
Chairside restorative workflows (impressions → CAD/CAM)
Orthodontic scanning and aligner workflows (itero/TRIOS usage).
Implant planning and guided surgery (integration with CBCT).
Documentation and patient education (intraoral cameras).
Tele-dentistry / remote consults (portable camera + cloud sharing).
Major challenges
Moving pilots to full-clinic adoption: training, workflow change and capital replacement cycles slow uptake.
Fragmented pricing & competition from low-cost Chinese vendors compressing margins.
Regulatory approvals for AI/diagnostic claims (adds time & cost).
Attractive opportunities
Subscription & consumable revenue models (software licences, cloud storage, scanning-as-a-service).
Adjacency to labs & 3D-printing (closed-loop economic capture: scan → design → mill/print).
Emerging-market deployments with lower-cost hardware + cloud workflows — scale opportunity for mid-tier OEMs.
Key factors that will move the needle
Falling total cost of ownership (scanner price + software + lab integration).
Clear clinical/financial ROI cases that justify replacement of conventional impressions.
Regulatory clarity for AI/diagnostic features and standards for interoperability (speeds enterprise buys).
Stronger channel & training programs so smaller practices can adopt digital workflows.
