The global topical fluoride therapy market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). Fluoride therapies are extensively gaining attention across the globe on account of the increasing prevalence of dental-related cases. Fluoride has been a major factor in the decline in the prevalence and severity of dental caries in the US and other economically developed countries. It has several caries-protective mechanisms of action. Topically, low levels of fluoride in plaque and saliva inhibit the demineralization of sound enamel and enhance the remineralization of demineralized enamel. Fluoride also inhibits dental caries by affecting the metabolic activity of cariogenic bacteria.
Professionally applied topical fluoride treatments are efficacious in reducing the prevalence of dental caries. The most commonly used agents for professionally applied fluoride treatments are 5% sodium fluoride varnish ([NaFV] 2.26% fluoride [F], 22,600 ppm F) and acidulated phosphate fluoride ([APF]; 1.23% F, 12,300 ppm F). Depending on the person’s oral health, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a professional fluoride treatment at the dentist’s office every 3, 6, or 12 months. Dentists may also prescribe a special fluoride rinse or gel for regular use at home to a patient who is at high risk of cavities. This, in turn, is expected to drive the global topical fluoride therapy market.
Some key players operating in the market include Dentsply Sirona, VOCO, Colgate, 3M, Ultradent Products, Young Dental, Philips, DMG Dental, Ivoclar Vivadent, Water Pik, GC Corporation, MPL, Medicom, Centrix, and others.
