With the acceleration of the aging process of China's population, the oral health care market has also developed explosively. According to the "In-depth Report on the Dental Implant Industry" released last year, China will add 4 million new dental implants in 2020, and whether the current high cost of dental implants can be reduced has also attracted the attention of more and more patients with dental diseases.
The reporter learned from the interview that the executive meeting of the State Council held on January 10 decided to "normalize and institutionalize the centralized procurement of drugs and high-value medical consumables to further reduce the medical burden of patients", which particularly emphasizes "expanding the collection of high-value medical consumables, and collecting orthopedic consumables, drug balloons, implants, etc. that are of concern to the masses at the national and provincial levels."

The good news is that dental consumables are getting closer and closer to collection. The reporter learned from the interview that the executive meeting of the State Council held on January 10 decided to "normalize and institutionalize the centralized procurement of drugs and high-value medical consumables to further reduce the medical burden of patients", which particularly emphasizes "expanding the collection of high-value medical consumables, and collecting orthopedic consumables, drug balloons, implants, etc. that are of concern to the masses at the national and provincial levels." "The collection of oral consumables is forming a provincial alliance. Some time ago, Ningbo city established a medical insurance directory on dental implants, Sichuan has completed the declaration of product information of dental implant enterprises and the reporting of the historical dosage of hospitals, and the industry believes that the collection of dental implants is getting closer and closer. Yang Li, a senior researcher at Guangzhou Zhongcheng Medical Device Research Institute, said.
The reporter recently learned from the interview of the National Pharmaceutical Procurement Center that from November 26, 2021, the Sichuan Medical Insurance Bureau led Ningxia, Shanxi and other places to explore the collection of implant consumables, and successively issued the "Notice on the Declaration of Oral Medical Consumables Information", and is currently successively carrying out the filling in the historical procurement data of oral implants, requiring all public medical institutions that carry out oral implant surgery to participate. The scope of the report is the oral implant system, including implants, repair abutments, implant prosthetic accessories, etc.
When will the collection of dental consumables be able to land? Shi Lichen, a well-known pharmaceutical strategic marketing expert, said: "At present, it is still under discussion, because the collection involves many institutions and enterprises, it is expected to take a long time to land. Yang Li said: "Because private stomatological hospitals occupy the vast majority of the service market, it is not accurate to rely on public hospitals alone to report the volume." The idea behind this should be that companies become the main body of reporting, because they have the actual sales data of dental implant products. ”
