Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) have gained immense popularity in dentistry over the past 25 years. The technology used in the dental laboratory and the dental office can be used in inlays and onlays, veneers, crowns, fixed partial dentures, implant abutments, and full-mouth reconstruction. Moreover, CAD/CAM technology was developed to solve three challenges. The first challenge was ensuring adequate strength restoration, especially for posterior teeth. The second challenge was creating restorations with a natural appearance. Furthermore, the third challenge was to make tooth restoration easier, faster, and more accurate. In a few cases, CAD/CAM technology provides patients with restorations on the same day. The use of high-strength structural materials such as alumina and zirconia-based ceramics for restoration cores and frameworks are shaped only by CAD/CAM systems; this increases the lifetime of restorations and expands the demand for CAD/CAM-produced restorations. Hence, the number of CAD/CAM systems available to the dental community has increased substantially within the last few years, owing to the increased demand for safe and esthetically pleasing dental materials. New high-strength ceramic materials have been introduced as materials for dental devices. Since these materials have proved to be inimical to conventional dental processing technology, CAD/CAM technology was introduced into dentistry. Hence, this factor will provide enormous opportunities to the dental veneers market players during the forecast period.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe dental veneer market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
