Autoclave carries out the function of sterilizing dental instruments with the help of steam and pressure with a very high temperature which makes it impossible for any microorganism to survive. It breaks the proteins of the cell wall of the microorganisms. The pressurised steam produced from the autoclave deactivates any bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores. Bench top dental autoclaves are small capacity sterilizers which, because of their size, can be positioned on a work bench to sterilize all of the dental practice instruments and materials to be used in professional procedures.
The growth of this market is driven by various factors such as, increasing incidence of dental disorders such as cavities, loosened teeth, impacted teeth etc. Moreover, the increasing geriatric populace is also one of the key factors propelling the growth of the market. With the increasing geriatric population, the corresponding age-related dental diseases, are on rise. For instance, the number of Americans ages 65 and older is projected to more than double from 46 million today to over 98 million by 2060. With the increasing ageing population, the market of dental autoclave is likely to grow. The increasing number of dental treatment procedures that involves extreme sterilization conditions is likely to boost the bench-top dental autoclaves market growth.
