Dental amalgam has long been a popular cavity filling material among dentists due to its strength and longevity. A cavity is a frequent dental condition caused by the accumulation of plaque, a sticky substance composed of germs. Due to widespread cavity issues, dental amalgam is in high demand all around the world. As a result, the worldwide dental amalgam market is expanding rapidly.

The Dental Amalgam market is expected to reach USD 560 million by 2032, growing at a 5.2% CAGR over the forecast period 2023-2032.

Silver amalgam fillings, which have been a staple of dentistry for decades, contain around 50% mercury, a recognized toxin that can cause harm in people. Despite the presence of mercury, the US Food and Drug Administration considers amalgam fillings safe for adults and children over the age of six.

The Dental Amalgam Market remains prevalent, with teeth filling amalgam being a commonly used material for dental restorations. Despite concerns about mercury content, dental amalgam's durability and cost-effectiveness continue to drive its usage. However, growing awareness of alternative materials and environmental considerations are influencing market dynamics and driving innovation in dental restoration technologies.

However, typical amalgam materials have several drawbacks, such as an ugly contrast to the color of the teeth, expansion and contraction of materials due to hot or cold beverages, which can lead to a greater risk of fractures in the adjacent tooth and increased sensitivity. To address these concerns, composite cavity fillings have been developed to protect teeth from hidden decay.

Composite amalgam provides a dependable, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing option for small to medium-sized cavities, resulting in a better seal. The performance properties of composite amalgam have improved over time, and it is presently the most preferred alternative. Composites are a feasible alternative for both front and back teeth due to their ability to closely mimic natural tooth color.

Furthermore, composites provide greater bonding properties to the tooth structure. The introduction of composite fillings has created a market, encouraging more people to choose amalgam, which in turn increases the demand for dental amalgam.

The cosmetic dentistry treatment business also benefits the dental amalgam market. Furthermore, growing global concerns about oral healthcare are primarily driving market expansion. Increasing public awareness of oral health plays an important role in promoting market growth.

Other factors supporting market growth include an expanding population, especially an increasing geriatric population, and urbanization. Improving economic conditions around the world boost market growth, allowing people to live better lives thanks to improved healthcare. Seminal efforts and investments by market players to produce innovative Amalgam materials and improve their existing materials are paying off handsomely, boosting market growth.

On the other hand, constraints such as inadequate reimbursements for dental amalgam are projected to limit market expansion, particularly in developed economies. Nonetheless, the introduction of cost-competitive composite amalgam materials is projected to drive market expansion.
