The combined U.S. market for dental operatory equipment and practice management software was valued at $1.6 billion.

This market includes

Dental imaging systems,

Furniture and cabinetry,

Curing lights,

Autoclaves,

Microscopes

Practice management software

The dental imaging market is segmented into:

Intraoral X-ray market, which includes intraoral X-ray units, intraoral analog film, photostimulable phosphorus (PSP) systems and digital sensors;

Extraoral X-ray market, which includes panoramic and panoramic/cephalometric X-ray systems.

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanners are also included, as well as the intraoral and extraoral camera markets.

The two largest segments in the combined dental operatory equipment and practice management software market were dental furniture/cabinetry and imaging systems.

Within the dental operatory equipment market, companies such as A-Dec, Gendex/ISI, Kodak Dental, Midmark, Planmeca and Sirona lead the market, among many others.
