Oral health signifies the health of the teeth, gums, and entire oral-facial system. Good oral health allows us to smile, speak, and chew without any complications or hesitation. Dental digital X-ray equipment, which is dental imaging equipment, is used in RadioVisioGraphy (RVG) to capture the teeth, gums, and their surroundings and perform dental examinations. The pictures produced are further used to detect and treat dental disorders. With the increase in oral diseases such as cavities (tooth decay) and gum (periodontal) diseases, the global dental digital X-ray equipment market is expected to see notable growth in the forecast period. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 40% of adults have reported feeling pain in their mouth within the last year, and more than 80% of people have at least one cavity by age 34. Additionally, it is also estimated that on average, over 34 million school hours and more than USD 45 billion in productivity is lost each year as a result of dental emergencies requiring unplanned care.
