The denture adhesive market is expected to register a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period. Dentures are replaceable stands for missing teeth and the tissues surrounding it. Dentures are of two types, complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all of the patient’s teeth are missing whereas the partial dentures come into use when some of the natural teeth remain. Denture adhesives are available as powders or pastes that are used to make sure that the denture remains at the same place. The market for denture adhesive is expanding worldwide under the influence of factors such as increasing popularity of cosmetic dental treatment, advances in the area of medical technologies, governmental initiatives supporting research in the area of dentistry and increasing dental tourism in emerging markets. However, high capital investments required for cosmetic dental treatments, and stringent regulatory policies are restraining the growth of the denture adhesive market.
