Dental Practice Management Software Market Overview

Most patients worldwide face tooth loss due to accidents, periodontal diseases, injuries, tooth decay, and others. The rising prevalence and recurrent nature of dental caries and periodontal disease increase the demand for endodontic treatment procedures. For instance, tooth decay and periodontal disease are the two main risks to dental health. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, adults over 30 who have periodontal disease have a rate of 47.2%. The prevalence of periodontal disease increases with age; among adults 65 and over, 70.1% have the condition. Men are more likely than women to have this condition (56.4% vs. 38.4%). Thus, a high prevalence of dental diseases is likely to boost dentists' adoption of dental practice management software in the coming years.
