The COVID-19 pandemic presents a large risk for dental professionals and the community. These regions are facing the biggest challenge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The death pool of ill patients in low-cost regions is expected to rise because healthcare professionals have limited their patients checking as many hospitals have limited resources and staff. Also, the dental clinics have suspended their routine checkups. In emergencies, governments are taking measures to help the patients, as in-person doctor’s appointments are being now conducted primarily over video consultation. The growing fear of COVID-19 infection transmission has mandated the advancement of guidelines and recommendations by health authorities. For instance, the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Saudi Arabia has responded promptly to this outbreak by adopting the guidelines and recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC available to all dental practitioners on the MOH’s website. Thus, these initiatives have a positive effect on the growth of the dental practice management software market in the Middle East & Africa.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the dental practice management software market. The Middle East and Africa dental practice management software market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
