The dental ultrasonic scaler is used to quickly remove calculus or tartar from the surface of the teeth. During the calculus cleaning, the scaler tip vibrates in the ultrasonic range of 20–45 kHz, and the tip is cooled by a jet of water. The vibration of the scaler tip enables the removal of calculus rapidly, thereby making it a fast and effective process. Diverse shapes of scaling tips available in the market offer interchangeable tips, enabling several functions, such as root planning, sublingual scaling, and periodontal pocket management. The use of ultrasonic devices has considerably enhanced the practice of periodontal debridement and supragingival scaling. The growing adoption of scaling devices considerably contributes to the growth of the market. Furthermore, the advantages of ultrasonic devices over conventional scaling methods fuel the global market.
The global dental ultrasonic scaler market is segmented based on product type, end-user, and geography. Based on product type, the market is segmented into magnetostrictive and piezoelectric. Piezoelectric devices are expected to witness lucrative growth during the forecast period owing to their growing adoption and the numerous advantages they provide over magnetostrictive devices. Some of the advantages include fewer requirements for water to control heat and patient compliance, among others. Based on end-user, the market is segmented into hospitals and dental clinics. The hospital segment dominated the global market in 2017 and is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period due to the high number of dental procedures operated in hospitals compared to dental clinics.
In 2017, North America dominated the global dental scaler market due to the presence of an evolved healthcare infrastructure and increased spending on healthcare. Asia Pacific provides an enormous opportunity for dental ultrasonic scaler vendors due to rising healthcare facilities and growing awareness of dental health.
