The dental industry, sometimes referred to as dental medicine, helps prevent and treat oral diseases and conditions by manufacturing various instruments, tools and equipment. As the population gets older, the dental industry has seen increased demand for oral maintenance and cosmetic dental procedures such as dental implants. Additionally, there is heightened emphasis on providing cost effective and efficient services. To adapt to meeting cost targets and shifting patient needs, the dental industry is seeing rapid adoption of new technologies including more specialized and advanced tools like 3D printing and dental lasers.
