Dental mirror also known as dentist's mirror or mouth mirror is a common instrument used in dentistry. The mirror is concave in shape which gives dentists magnified reflection of the patients mouth and refracts light. The double-sided dental mirror is used to retract the cheek or tongue while simultaneously viewing the other side in an indirect perspective. The mirror makes the image larger, and brighter which makes it easy for the dentist to see. The crevice-free structure of the double-sided mirror enables maximum patient comfort and efficient cleaning.
The dental mirrors market is segmented on the basis of product type, end user, material, and geography.

This report offers insights and in-depth analysis of the market, emphasizing on parameters, such as market trends and dynamics, and the competitive analysis of the globally leading market players.
The prevalence of dental and oral conditions, such as dry mouth, tooth loss, tooth canal infection, dental trauma, and cavities, is rising across the world. According to the WHO’s Global Burden of Disease 2019 study, around 3.5 billion people globally suffer from oral diseases, especially tooth caries. The increasing cases of dental problems, such as spaces between teeth, crooked teeth, teeth overcrowding, and overbites, has increased the requirements for dental procedures to treat such, which, in turn, drives the growth of the dental mirrors market. For instance, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 47.2% of the adults in the age group above 30 years have some periodontal disease in the US, and it increases with age, with around 70.1% of adults over the age of 65 years have periodontal disease in 2020.
Furthermore, the population in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has a comparatively higher prevalence of oral diseases, and it continues to increase with growing urbanization and lifestyle changes. According to a study by the University of Gondar, Ethiopia, the prevalence rate of oral diseases, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, was 40.98%, for Ethiopia, 52.4%; Sudan and Kenya have a prevalence rate of 50.3%, and Tanzania has a prevalence rate of 40.2% in 2020. This high prevalence is primarily caused due to inadequate exposure to fluoride in oral hygiene products or within water supply, availability of food with high sugar content, and poor access to oral health services in the community. The growing food and beverages with high sugar content and tobacco and alcohol consumption are contributing to oral health conditions and other non-communicable diseases.
Based on the product type, the dental mirrors market is segmented into one-sided mirrors, double-sided mirrors, LED dental mirrors, and smart dental mirrors. The one-sided mirrors segment is likely to hold the largest market share in 2022. However, the smart dental mirror segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The one-sided mirrors give a brighter and larger magnified image of the original object without inverting the image; thus, dentists can see a larger image of what is inside, making the doctor's work much easier in viewing inner teeth and the mouth, thereby increasing uptake by dentists is driving the one-sided mirrors growth of the segment.
Based on material, the dental mirrors market is bifurcated into metal dental mirrors and plastic dental mirrors. The metal dental mirrors segment is likely to hold a larger market share in 2022. Furthermore, the same segment is expected to record a faster CAGR from 2022 to 2028. Both aluminum and silver coating can offer unique benefits that improve the functionality of optical mirrors.
Furthermore, silver coatings benefit primary, secondary, and tertiary mirrors because of their high reflectance and lasting durability, which increases the adoption of metal dental mirrors and are major driving factors for the growth of the metal dental mirrors segment.
Based on end user, the dental mirrors market is segmented into dental clinics, hospitals, and others. By the end of 2022, the dental clinics segment is likely to hold the largest share of the market. Furthermore, the same segment is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2028. The growth of the dental clinics segment is attributed to factors such as the increasing number of dental clinics globally, the surge in prevalence of dental disorders, and the increasing disposable income of people. The dental clinic provides all kinds of dental treatment facilities such as periodontics, orthodontics, dental mirrors, teeth whitening, preventive dentistry, and others.
