The rising prevalence of dental diseases is poised to fuel the expansion of the dental inlays and onlays market in the foreseeable future. Dental diseases encompass various conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and surrounding oral structures, often resulting in discomfort and potential complications if not addressed promptly. Contributing factors to the increasing prevalence of dental diseases include inadequate oral hygiene, poor dietary habits, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and the aging population. To address the need for restorative treatments prompted by dental diseases, dental inlays and onlays offer a conservative, functional, and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring teeth affected by decay, damage, or other dental issues. For example, as reported in the 2022-23 Annual Report released by the National Health Service in August 2023, there was a significant increase in dental disorder treatments administered, totaling 32.5 million instances, representing a 23.2% rise compared to the previous year. Consequently, the growing burden of dental diseases is propelling the growth of the dental inlays and onlays market.

Key players in the dental inlays and onlays market are prioritizing the development of innovative technologies, such as digital light processing (DLP) technology, aimed at enhancing the durability, aesthetics, and longevity of dental restorations. DLP technology is revolutionizing the fabrication of dental inlays and onlays by digitizing the workflow, improving precision, enabling customization, broadening material options, and enhancing overall efficiency in modern dental practices. For instance, in February 2021, Desktop Metal Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, introduced the Einstein series of 3D dental printers designed to deliver accuracy, speed, and versatility. These printers feature NanoFit 385 technology for premium performance and a natural finish, leveraging digital light processing (DLP) technology. Equipped with Hyperprint technology, the Einstein printers offer faster printing speeds and efficient curing for stronger dental applications, allowing for the fabrication of various dental restorations with ease. Additionally, Desktop Health launched the Flexcera Smile Ultra+ resin, a hybrid nanoceramic resin cleared by the FDA for permanent and temporary dental restorations, delivering lifelike luster and translucency.

In April 2021, National Dentex, a US-based manufacturer of dental crowns, acquired Dental Services Group, further solidifying its position in the dental industry.

Dental inlays and onlays are types of dental restorations utilized to repair teeth with moderate to extensive decay or damage, without necessitating a full crown. They serve as a conservative alternative to crowns, preserving more of the natural tooth structure. A dental inlay is a custom-made restoration crafted outside the mouth by a dental laboratory, while a dental onlay covers a broader area of the tooth's surface, extending beyond the cusps.

The main types of dental inlays and onlays include direct and indirect methods. Direct dental inlays and onlays involve creating and placing these restorations directly within the patient's mouth during a single dental visit. Various materials such as porcelain, zirconia, gold, and composite are utilized for these applications, catering to hospitals and clinics.
