EUROPEAN DENTAL IMAGING DEVICE MARKET TRENDS

Growth in extraoral and intraoral devices is driven largely by the expansion in the capabilities of these devices, as well as the now affordable price point. Software is improving to allow for reduced image processing time, as well as increased integration between devices and imaging software, improving dentist workflow. For extraoral devices, lower dosages needed per scan and software to compensate for patient movement are reducing overall patient exposure. Automated identification of caries and nerve cavitation using artificial intelligence (AI) will speed along workflow and increase the accuracy of dental diagnoses. CBCT scanners will see massive growth over the next years as integration between the 3D image and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) devices strengthens.

• Dentsply Sirona has had tremendous success in all markets in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (the DACH region), one of the largest markets in Europe. Without a strong presence in the PSP market, the company was unable to take the top spot in the intraoral market. However, the ORTHOPHOS™ family has a well-secured foothold in the 2D and 3D extraoral market, giving Dentsply Sirona the largest market share in Europe overall.
• Carestream Dental is Europe’s second-leading competitor, with the company taking top positions in two markets. With Carestream Dental’s very strong market share for intraoral X-ray units and digital sensors, and Carestream Health’s long-standing dominance in the intraoral analog film market, the company took the top spot by a healthy margin. The relatively recent release of the CS 8300 3D™ and the CS 9600™ helped secure the largest market share in the CBCT segment. These devices were heavily marketed across Europe in partnership with their intraoral cameras: another rapidly expanding item, but outside the scope of this report.
• 3Shape was the third-leading competitor in Europe in the dental imaging device market in 2024 due to its presence in the intraoral scanner market. The company strengthened its presence in the intraoral scanner market with the Trios™ products. The company launched Trios™ 4 in 2019, which is the first intraoral scanner with the timely detection of both possible surface and interproximal caries in a single scanner. Furthermore, developments in software, such as the Trios Design Studio, released in 2020, has led to improvements in workflows.
