A dental filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape.  It is additionally used to repair tooth decay, insignificant tooth fractures, and other harmed surfaces of the teeth. The dental filling procedure is done by removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and then filling the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material. Materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, a composite resin and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc). These materials are designed to interact with the oral system to treat, repair, augment or replace a tissue function of body. The best tooth fillings for a person depend on cost, what your insurance may cover, and your aesthetic preferences. The two most common types are amalgam and composite.

Dental filling Material Market Outlook

The global dental filling material market is expected to be driven by growing prevalence of dental disorders, increasing number of dentist, increasing patient awareness and demand. Dental caries (tooth decay) is the most the most prevalent chronic disease in both children and adults.  Due to the changing life style people are suffering from various types of oral diseases, leading to the dental conditions which further boost the growth of the market. Dental caries is estimated to affect 60% to 90% of the population, increasing the requirement for high quality tooth fillings Furthermore, Increased public awareness for oral hygiene, strong public awareness trends regarding oral hygiene, favorable reimbursement scenario for tooth filling procedure have increased global number of dental procedures. However, inflammatory reactions caused by filling materials and stringent regulation is challenging the growth of the dental filling material market.

Dental Filling Material Market Segmental Overview

The report analyses the dental filling material market on the basis of type, type of material, end user and geography

Dental Filling Material Market by Type 

Dental filling is determined by the extent of the repair, whether a person have allergies to certain materials, where in a mouth the filling is needed, and the cost. Considerations for different types include Amalgam, Composite Resin, Cast Gold, Ceramics / porcelain filling, Glass Ionomer and others.  The two most common types are amalgam and composite resins.

Amalgam (silver) fillings are mixture of silver, tin, zinc, copper and mercury.  These fillings are resistant to wear and relatively inexpensive. However, due to their dark color, they are more noticeable than porcelain or composite restorations and are not usually used in very visible areas, such as front teeth.  Amalgam remains an important filling material in dentistry owing to its high durability and rising demand for cosmetic dental procedures

Composite resins is a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. Composite resins are matched to be the same color as natural teeth and therefore used where a natural appearance is desired.  These materials are mostly used for Small and large fillings, especially in front teeth or the visible parts of teeth and also for inlays. Growing preference for dental aesthetics among the people will result in increased demand and adoption of composite fillings. Several advantages offered such as dental aesthetics, dental filling in one visit and better strength will boost the composite tooth filling materials industry growth in the near future.

Gold fillings are made up of gold alloy (gold mixed with other metals. Gold inlays are well tolerated by gum tissues, and may last more than 20 years. For these reasons, many authorities consider gold the best filling material. However, it is often the most expensive choice and requires multiple visits.

Porcelain fillings are called inlays or onlays and are produced to order in a lab and then bonded to the tooth. They can be matched to the color of the tooth and resist staining. A porcelain restoration generally covers most of the tooth. Their cost is similar to gold.

Glass Ionomer Made of Acrylic and a component of glass called fluoroaluminosilicate. Glass ionomer used most commonly as cement for inlay fillings. The glass ionomer is typically used in people with a lot of decay in the part of the tooth that extends below the gum (root caries). It is also used for filling baby teeth and as a liner for other types of fillings.

Growing preference for dental aesthetics among the people will result in increased demand and adoption of composite fillings. Several advantages offered such as dental aesthetics, dental filling in one visit and better strength will boost the composite tooth filling materials industry growth in the near future.
