The rising prevalence of oral diseases is significantly driving the growth of the dental practice management market. Oral diseases encompass health conditions affecting the mouth, teeth, gums, tongue, and other related structures, resulting in problems such as cavities, gum disease, and oral infections. The increase in oral diseases leads to a surge in demand for dental services, highlighting the need for more efficient and technologically advanced practice management solutions to streamline operations, enhance patient care, and improve the overall dental practice experience. For example, in 2022, the World Health Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations dedicated to international public health, reported that oral disorders affect 3.5 billion people globally, which is approximately half of the world's population. Notably, three out of four individuals impacted live in low- and middle-income countries. As a result, the rising incidence of oral diseases is anticipated to drive demand for the dental practice management market.

The increase in the aging population is significantly driving the growth of the dental practice management market. An aging population refers to a demographic shift where there is a higher proportion of elderly individuals (typically aged 65 and older) compared to younger age groups within a population.

Dental practitioners are increasingly adopting technologies to provide comprehensive and personalized care, addressing the unique challenges associated with an aging patient demographic and contributing to the overall expansion of the dental practice management market. For instance, in October 2022, the World Health Organization, a specialized health agency based in the US, reported that by 2030, 1 in 6 individuals worldwide would be 60 or older, with the elderly population projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. Therefore, the growth in the aging population is expected to enhance demand for dental practice management solutions.
