Transosteal Dental Implants Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Material (Titanium, Zirconium, and Others), By End-user (Solo Practices, DSO/Group Practices, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global transosteal dental implants market size was valued at USD 356.5 million in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 376.4 million in 2024 to USD 594.1 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.

The transosteal dental implant is a biocompatible device that involves a threaded post penetrating both the top and bottom cortical bone plates of the mandibular region. This implant extends through the oral mucosa to provide support and attachment for the prosthesis. It typically consists of long screws that pass through the bone, requiring an incision under the chin that goes through the entire jawbone and emerges at the bottom of the chin to secure the top and bottom pressure plates for the prosthesis.

This type of implant provides good primary stability for the prosthesis by anchoring a base plate at the bottom of the jawbone with screws that pass through the bone and exit the oral cavity to support the upper edge of the denture restoration. Furthermore, transosteal dental implants are used in individuals who do not have enough bone in their jaws to support endosteal and subperiosteal dental implants.

In addition, jaw deformities due to trauma and mandibulectomy increase the chances of total and partial mandible construction, thereby increasing the demand for these implants.

Overall, the market is anticipated to witness growth over the projected years due to the rise in accidental and oral cancer-associated jaw deformities, leading to demand for cosmetic dentistry and advancements in surgical techniques, leading to a demand for these implants.

Furthermore, there were disruptions in the transosteal implants market due to supply chain disruptions and reduced dental procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in 2021, the market recovered from the resumption of normal operations in dental practices and restoring patient confidence in elective procedures.

Transosteal Dental Implants Market Trends

Additive Manufacturing is Anticipated to Revolutionize the Market

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has revolutionized the field of dentistry and has been used in the fabrication of various dental products, including dental implants. One specific type of dental implant that can benefit from additive manufacturing is the transosteal dental implant.

The process involves creating a 3D model of the patient's jawbone and then using a 3D printer to create the implant accordingly. This allows for a more precise fit and better integration with the jawbone, resulting in improved stability and longevity of these implants.

• In February 2023, Carbon, a 3D printing company, is expanding its offerings to equip dental labs with time-saving and cost-reduction solutions. Such expansion of 3D printers in dental labs is expected to increase the demand for transosteal implants.

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) method in additive manufacturing allows for the production of customized titanium root analog implants with intricate surface designs, including porous structures, textured surfaces, and bioactive coatings. This customization can result in better fit, function, and aesthetics of the implants, improving patient outcomes.

Transosteal Dental Implants Market Growth Factors

Rising Number of Jaw Reconstruction Surgeries to Boost the Market Growth

Mandible deformities can result from various factors, such as injuries, congenital issues, infections, developmental flaws, cysts, tumors, or head and neck cancers. The mandible deformities often require jaw reconstruction surgeries to improve both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the jaw.

These jaw reconstruction surgeries require a full denture that is supported by transosteal dental implants. These implants consist of a horizontal support beam connected to metal rods that are implanted through drilled holes in the jawbone, with a metal plate secured underneath the jawbone for added stability. The increasing prevalence of mandible deformities is anticipated to create a greater demand for these as a solution for reconstructing and stabilizing the jaw structure, and market growth is expected in the coming years.

• According to the article published in ACTA ODONTOLOGICA SCANDINAVICA in February 2023, approximately 2% of the population in the U.S. have a malocclusion or mandible deformity that might benefit from jaw reconstruction surgery. Such high prevalence can increase jaw reconstruction surgeries, and the adoption of these is anticipated to grow during the forecast period.

Increasing Prevalence of Disease Related to Oral Health to Boost Market Growth

Mandibulectomy, or the removal of the jaw, is one of the dental treatment approaches used to manage advanced mandible invasive oral cancer. The prevalence of mandibulectomy has increased in recent years due to various factors, such as bisphosphonate-related necrosis of the mandible, infectious etiologies, including osteomyelitis, osteoradionecrosis, and benign or malignant neoplastic processes involving the jaw.

Mandibulectomy is performed when the malignant tumors invade the mandible or benign tumors destroy the mandibular integrity. The procedure can involve full-thickness or partial-thickness resection of the mandible, depending on the need to maintain the mandibular continuity.

Successful outcomes of mandibulectomy require mandible reconstruction and implantation to place the artificial teeth. The market growth for transosteal implants is anticipated to increase due to the increasing number of oral cancer and mandible removal surgeries for cancer maintenance.

• According to the article published by the NCBI in August 2023, oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma affects around 300,000 individuals every year.

Such a high prevalence of mandible invasion of this cancer is anticipated to increase the number of jaw removal surgeries, thereby increasing the adoption of transosteal dental implants during the forecast period.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Complexity and High Failure Rate of Transosteal Dental Implants to Hamper the Market Growth

Transosteal dental implants are used in cases where there is limited bone structure to support a traditional implant or when there is significant bone loss in the jaw. The placement requires a complex surgical procedure, as it involves both intraoral and extraoral approaches to insert directly through the jawbone. Additionally, the highly invasive nature requires a longer recovery time than other implants. Moreover, an individual patient's jawbone structure does not integrate these implants. Therefore, these implants have a minimal success rate compared to other type of implants. Altogether, the market growth is anticipated to be hampered by these factors.

These implants and surgeries are usually more expensive than endosteal and subperiosteal implants due to their complex nature.

• For instance, MyraDental, a dental clinic, reported that the cost of these implants can cost around USD 5,200 to 13,000 per arch.

The complexity and invasiveness of transosteal implants have led to their limited use in modern dentistry, with endosteal implants being the more commonly preferred option due to their predictability and success rates. Furthermore, the high cost of dental implants is another factor hampering the market growth during the forecast period.
