It also serves as lubricants during obturation process and acts as an antimicrobial agent.
Growth in demand for root canal treatment, owing to rise in prevalence of dental disorders drive demand for sealers and boost growth of the market. In addition, rise in geriatric population is one of the important factors that boosts growth of the root canal sealer market as several changes occur in the dentition with age such as enamel wearing, enamel chipping, appearance of fracture lines, staining of the chipped areas and fracture lines, and exposure of the dentin. Furthermore, advancements in root canal sealers further boost growth of the global root canal sealer market. In addition, increase in dental tourism in emerging countries creates an opportunity for manufacturers to tap and capitalize on the market. However, limited reimbursements for dental procedures and high cost of root canal treatment are some factors that restraint growth of the market.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the health care sector around the world. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut their doors temporarily, including several sub-domains of health care. Moreover, there has also been a negative effect on various services, including root canal sealers. All routine dental care has been suspended in countries experiencing COVID-19 disease during the period of pandemic as dentists, auxiliaries, as well as patients undergoing dental procedures are at high risk of cross-infection in the COVID-19 pandemic. Most dental procedures require close contact with patient’s oral cavity, saliva, blood, and respiratory tract secretions. Saliva is rich in COVID-19 viral load. Thus, number of visits to hospitals decreased due to fear of getting infected. Various patients declined or postponed their appointments, which, in turn, affected the market growth.
