Dental implant industry poised to pivot after recently announced price cutsChina's dental implant industry is expected to undergo a major transformation amid rapidly falling prices.

The country's first bulk procurement program targeting dental implants has seen prices reduce on average by about 55 percent, according to the National Healthcare Security Administration.

The program mainly targets public hospitals, covering 72 percent of annual demand for dental implants across the country, and patients are expected to save 4 billion yuan ($554.5 million) as a result, the administration said.

The dental implantation procedure to replace missing or decaying teeth incurs the cost of medical consumables, such as dental implants and crowns, as well as medical service fees.

Previously, the total cost of dental implant surgery was as high as 30,000 yuan.

The adjusted service fee for dental implants in public 3A-grade hospitals is 4,500 yuan per tooth.

"The rapid price drop in dental implants has brought a major turning point for the dental industry," said Hu Xuan, a medical devices analyst at vbdata.

"The price drop will help increase patient visits to dental institutions, especially during the basic treatment link.

"Dental implants made in China lacked in technique and experience, and there was not enough clinical data support," Hu said.

"In addition, there is not enough clinical trial data going back 5-10 years for domestic dental implants.

Dentists have concerns while choosing domestic dental implant brands, which also leads to the insufficient use of domestic products," Hu said.

From fabricating customized and accurate dental devices like braces, bridges, and implant guides, helping doctors simulate procedures on special software and 3D-printed models, to training young doctors, 3D printing technology can speed up diagnosis and treatment, minimize risks, and standardize procedures.

It can thus help enhance dental care service quality, especially in underprivileged areas, she said.
