Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis Treatment Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Growing Prevalence of NUG and Other Oral Diseases with Lack of Awareness among People – Most people across the world do not consider dental problems as a major issue owing to a lack of knowledge. The presence of only fluoride water and the use of fluoride toothpaste for a longer time is also estimated to cause oral problems. Also, many low-income countries have less education regarding oral health and low or no spending capacity for healthcare. Additionally, the increasing age also causes many oral issues such as gum swelling, tooth decay, cavities, damaged teeth, and plaque formation which are left untreated.

As per the data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2019, 1 in 5 people in the U.S. which is over 25% of the adult population are living with untreated dental cavities.

• High Cases of Diabetes and Other Lifestyle Diseases with Poor Eating Habits – The incidence of diabetes increases the risk of worsening wounds and any other injuries as they are immune suppressed. The number of people diagnosed with diabetes in the U.S. was estimated to be over 28 million i.e., 11% population, and more than 37 million people which is 9% population had diabetes in 2019.

• Growing Consumption of Tobacco and Other Related Products – More than 80% of people across the world who use tobacco are estimated to be present in low and middle-income countries as of 2022. 

• Increasing Population with Habits of Drinking Alcohol Across the World – Alcohol contains fermented bacteria that is used for the fermentation of alcohol which gets deposited on the teeth every time you drink.  The percentage of people who binge drink alcohol as of 2020 was estimated to be over 20% in the U.S. and more than 6.5% of American people developed alcohol use disorder (AUD).

• High Number of People Suffering from Nutritional Deficiencies – Lack of vitamin B12, iron, niacin, and vitamin B13 and low availability of essential nutrients is estimated to lead to gingivitis. The number of people suffering from undernourishment increased to more than 130 million people across the world during 2019-2022.

Challenges

• Lack of Awareness Regarding Oral Health Hygiene –

Not everyone is worried about decayed teeth until it bothers with pain, swelling, and bleeding. People neglect oral hygiene as it does not affect them very much and poverty in many countries is also estimated to hinder the growth of the market in the coming years.

• Long Term Intake of Antibiotics Builds Resistance
• Presence of Discomfort and Bleeding During the Treatment Procedure
