Players Sanofi, Bayer AG, Eli Lilly and Company,
Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck & Co, Inc.
Dental caries is a breakdown of teeth due to acids produced by bacteria. It is also called as
tooth decay or cavity. The bacteria tends to convert sugar and carbohydrates (starches) present
in the foods to acids. This acid dissolves minerals in the hard enamel that covers the tooth's
crown and results in enamel erosion or pits/plaque on the tooth. This leads to decaying of the
softer dentin layer. Thus, due to break down of dentin, a cavity is created. Symptoms of dental
caries include tooth sensitivity, tooth pain, black or white staining on teeth, and a visible hole
in teeth. Risk factors associated with dental caries are dry mouth, acid reflux diseases, anorexia,
and bulimia.

Dental Caries Market- Drivers
Increasing number of pipeline studies to develop treatments for dental caries is expected to
boost the dental caries market growth. For instance, in February 2017, Oral Health Centre of
Expertise in Eastern Norway in collaboration with Public Dental Service from Ostfold, Oppland,
and Hedmark, announced the post market surveillance (Phase 4) for fluoride varnishes and
fissure sealants to evaluate its effectiveness in a pragmatic randomized clinical trial. Fluoride
varnish is a highly concentrated form of fluoride used to apply on tooth's surface and fissure
sealants are used to prevent tooth decay. The study is expected to be completed in December
2022.
Dental Caries Market- Restraints
However, the side effects associated with dental caries treatment and failure of the treatment,
owing to lack of knowledge of the operators is expected to hamper growth of the dental caries
market. For instance, in April 2015, as per study report by Department of Conservative
Dentistry, College of Dentistry, University of Aljouf, KSA, the failure rate of endodontic
treatment performed by the general dental practitioners (GDPs) was 78.8%. The factors
