1. Dentsply Sirona
Dentsply Sirona has consistently led the digital dentistry market, retaining its top position in 2023. The company’s dominance is largely attributed to its extensive range of chairside systems, particularly the CEREC® line, which has been a cornerstone of its market share. In addition to chairside systems, Dentsply Sirona offers products in the CAD/CAM milling system, standalone CAD/CAM scanner, and intraoral scanner markets. Their significant market share in permanent CAD/CAM materials has also been a major contributor to their overall presence in the digital dentistry market. Expanding its portfolio, Dentsply Sirona entered the dental 3D printer market with its new product, Primeprint, further solidifying its leadership in digital dentistry.

Ivoclar stands as the second-leading competitor in the global digital dentistry market. The company holds a strong position in the CAD/CAM milling system market and is a clear leader in the permanent CAD/CAM material market.

Ranking third in the global digital dentistry market, 3Shape has carved out a strong presence, particularly in the CAD/CAM device market. The company excels in the laboratory scanner segment and holds a leading share in the intraoral scanner segment. 3Shape’s ongoing innovations and product enhancements have been pivotal in its market growth. The launch of the Trios™ 5 wireless intraoral scanner in 2022, which is more compact and lighter than its predecessors, exemplifies 3Shape’s commitment to innovation and market adaptation.
4. 3D Systems
3D Systems has emerged as a prominent player in the dental 3D printer market in 2023. The company’s product portfolio includes a wide range of sizes, indications, and technologies, such as the DMP Dental 100 in the metal dental 3D printer market and the ProX® 800, a large-format stereolithography apparatus (SLA) dental 3D printer. Additionally, 3D Systems offers large-format ProJet® printers that rely on jet technology. A significant milestone for the company was its 2017 acquisition of NextDent, which led to the introduction of the NextDent 5100®, a leading product in the DLP dental 3D printer market. This product is capable of using a range of 30 NextDent materials on a closed system, ensuring compatibility with other popular DLP printers. In 2023, 3D Systems launched the NextDent LCD1, a small dental 3D printer utilizing liquid-crystal display (LCD) technology, competing with products from Asiga, Formlabs, and SprintRay.
