The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on the global medical device supply chain, including the dental sector. During the height of the pandemic, the number of dental procedures conducted declined sharply, resulting in a temporary reduction in market performance in 2020. Global restrictions and lockdowns imposed by various governments disrupted the demand and sales of dental equipment and services. Moreover, numerous dental device manufacturers shifted their focus toward contributing to the fight against COVID-19, leading to further delays in dental product availability. Nevertheless, beginning in the second quarter of 2020, dental clinics and practices gradually resumed their services, which led to a full recovery of the digital dentistry market by the year 2021.
