20 March is World Oral Health Day. Recently, the opening ceremony of the new store of Delun Dental and the seminar on oral health care and implant technology were held in Guangzhou. At the seminar, relevant experts said yesterday that the oral cavity is an important part of the whole body, not only closely related to the health of the whole body, but also closely related to people's daily lives, and other diseases in our body are usually reflected in the mouth. However, in practice, many citizens always delay oral diseases again and again, and only later do they consider going to the hospital for medical treatment when they can't stand the toothache. This is actually very undesirable and often misses the best time for treatment. Relevant experts remind that the public should develop the habit of regularly checking the mouth and teeth, and once there is a problem with the teeth or the mouth has a peculiar smell, they should seek medical treatment in time and treat them symptomatically.
In 2021, Delun Dental, as the first batch of institutions in South China to introduce implant robots, took the lead in entering the clinical diagnosis and treatment stage with large-scale well-known public tertiary stomatological hospitals in China, and won the title of "The First Batch of Brand Chain Partners in China" awarded by ruiyibo, a domestic medical robot head manufacturer. The implant robot introduced by Delun Dental is the first batch of oral robot products in China to obtain the license of three types of medical devices, and its performance and maturity are at the leading level in the world, and it is also the oral surgery robot that completed the implantation of full mouth and edentulous jaw in the early days of China, and is the optical navigation surgical robot that completed the implantation of full mouth and edentulous jaw in the early days in the world. On the opening ceremony of the 21st branch of Delun Dental, ruiyibo, the brand of oral implant robot, awarded Delun Dental "the first batch of brand chain partners in China".
Xu Shitong, dean of Delun Dental Department, said that oral implant technology is currently one of the main restoration methods for dentition defects and dentition losses. According to the data, there are 440 million people in China who have potential dental implant demand, as the mainland gradually enters an aging society, the number of people without teeth is still increasing year by year, and the demand for dental implants is growing. The accuracy of the position, angle, depth, etc. of the implant placed in the jawbone will affect the success rate of its long-term implantation. Oral digitalization and artificial intelligence technology are changing with each passing day, and oral implant surgery robots have come into being.
Regarding oral health care, participating experts said yesterday that among many oral diseases, the higher incidence of caries and periodontitis not only has a negative impact on the daily life of patients to a certain extent, but also leads to systemic diseases and psychological disorders in patients. "A common disease of the oral cavity, caries, which initially manifests as brown, black-brown spots on the tooth enamel, known as the "black line", which is the main cause of tooth loss. Many people's oral health awareness Bin class cadres, however, many people feel that tooth loss only affects the appearance. In fact, in addition to affecting the appearance, tooth defects will also seriously affect their pronunciation and chewing function, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and lead to indigestion, malnutrition, and even lead to digestive system diseases, pulp infections or systemic infections. Therefore, the oral cavity is actually a "barometer" of the whole body's physical health, once there is a problem with the mouth, you must seek medical treatment at the first time, do not delay.
Regarding the dental implant technology that has been hot this year, the experts attending the meeting said that with the advent of the aging era, the dental implant population will further rise. The digitization of the oral cavity has become an important trend in the dental implant industry. Implant dentures are mainly composed of implants, abutments and superstructures (crowns), which together undertake the functions of retention, support, jaw force conduction and recovery chewing, which can achieve a similar repair effect to natural teeth. Traditional dental implants are a technical task that only experienced dentists can perform, and how to lower the barrier to participation of implant practitioners is the key point to solve the problem. The development of oral digitalization (CAD/CAM technology, intraoral scanning (IOS) technology, CBCT and other digital means) not only provides technical support for doctors, but also provides patients with a more comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan and a more optimized diagnosis and treatment process, which has become the development trend of the dental implant industry.
Over the years, the dental implant market has been expanding. On the one hand, with the acceleration of the aging process, the demand for oral implants is strong. On the other hand, with the growth of residents' income and the enhancement of oral health care awareness, the proportion of medical care expenditure of mainland residents is also rising. The results of the study show that with the increase of age, the rate of tooth loss is accelerating, the mainland is in a stage of accelerated aging, and the rising proportion of the elderly population provides a huge population base for the oral implant market. Surveys show that more and more elderly people are willing to spend rationally on oral health care. Recently, a report released by a consulting agency shows that the domestic implant market size (factory price caliber) reached 13.6 billion yuan, looking to the future, the implant market will be a huge market of 100 billion yuan.
