Increasing Geriatric Population and Growing Burden of Dental Diseases Bolsters Italy Regenerative Dentistry Market Growth

Dental diseases are among the most preventable public health concerns reported in Italy. According to Eurostat data, Italy is the oldest country in the European Union, with an average median age exceeding 48 years. Along with Portugal, Italy has the highest percentage of residents aged over 65, accounting for 24% of the population—approximately one in four individuals. In January 2023, the Italian Institute for International Political Studies published an article titled "The Not-So-Sweet Life of Italy's Elders" highlighting the fastest population aging in Italy after Japan and South Korea. In 2022, there were 37 individuals aged over 65 for every 100 working-age people (aged 15–64), and this ratio is expected to rise to 65 by 2050. During the same period, the percentage of people over 80 will increase from 3.7% to 7.5%. Edentulism, or complete tooth loss, and severe tooth loss are becoming increasingly common, particularly among older population. The prevalence of dental caries and periodontal diseases has surged, leading to the adoption of advanced regenerative therapies, such as stem cell-based treatments and tissue engineering. These minimally invasive techniques are gaining popularity due to their ability to reduce pain and recovery time while effectively restoring dental tissues.

Dental diseases are a significant factor contributing to market growth in Italy. As per the study titled "Experience and Prevalence of Dental Caries in Migrant and Nonmigrant Low-SES Families' Children Aged 3 to 5 Years in Italy," published in September 2022, dental caries is predominant among children from low socioeconomic status groups and the prevalence of caries was found to be 71% among these children. The demand for dental care solutions to address tooth loss, periodontal disease, and other age-related oral health issues is increasing, especially among the aging demographics. Treatments focusing on gum tissue regeneration, bone regeneration, and tooth pulp therapy are particularly appealing as they provide less invasive alternatives to traditional options like implants and dentures.

As a result, regenerative medicine technologies, such as stem cell-based treatments and biocompatible scaffolds, are offering effective solutions for cosmetic and restorative dental needs. 

The Italy regenerative dentistry market analysis has been carried out by considering the following segments: product type, technology, application, age group, and end user. 

Based on product type, the Italy regenerative dentistry market is divided into natural biomaterials and synthetic biomaterials. The natural biomaterials segment held a larger share of the market in 2024 and is expected to register a higher CAGR during 2025–2031. Natural biomaterials play a crucial role in regenerative dentistry due to their biocompatibility and ability to integrate with human tissues. These materials, often derived from collagen, demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and hyaluronic acid, are widely used in bone grafting, periodontal regeneration, and guided tissue regeneration (GTR). In Italy, natural biomaterials are highly preferred for their bioactivity and minimal risk of immune rejection, making them a common choice in dental implantology and maxillofacial surgery. Research institutions and dental professionals continuously explore new natural biomaterials, such as marine-derived collagen and plant-based alternatives, to enhance clinical outcomes. However, limitations such as high cost and variable mechanical properties have led to a demand for synthetic alternatives.

Based on the technology, the market is segmented into tissue engineering, stem cell therapy, and others. Tissue engineering held the major on-site preventive care market share in 2024. Tissue engineering is the most widely implemented regenerative approach in Italy's dental sector, particularly for periodontal and bone regeneration. This technology integrates biomaterials, growth factors, and cellular components to repair or replace damaged tissues, making it a preferred method in implantology and reconstructive dentistry. According to the study published by Bioengineering, University of Milan, tissue engineering is one of the most established and clinically utilized regenerative approaches, leveraging biomaterials, growth factors, and cellular components to restore dental structures.

Likewise, the increasing use of polymer-based and ceramic-based biomaterials, along with advancements in 3D printing, has enhanced the precision and effectiveness of these treatments. Italian dental professionals have been early adopters of these technologies, utilizing innovative techniques such as guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and bone grafting to improve patient outcomes. The widespread clinical acceptance of tissue engineering is further supported by professional training programs and regulatory approvals for biomaterials used in dentistry.

The Italy regenerative dentistry market is expanding steadily, driven by an aging population, technological advancements, and a growing awareness of advanced dental treatments. With more than 23% of Italians over 65, age-related dental issues like tooth loss, gum disease, and jawbone deterioration are becoming more common, increasing the demand for bone grafts, soft tissue regeneration, and dental implants. Cities such as Milan, Rome, and Bologna are home to leading dental clinics and research institutions, fostering innovation and improving access to cutting-edge treatments. The government, through the National Health System (SSN), is also playing a role in making these procedures more accessible by offering partial reimbursements. At the same time, cosmetic dentistry is on the rise, with more people seeking procedures like gum grafting and soft tissue enhancements for both aesthetic and functional benefits. Advances in biomaterials, including xenografts, allografts, and synthetic bone grafts, are making regenerative treatments safer and more effective. However, high costs, strict regulations, and limited awareness in rural areas remain barriers to widespread adoption. Straumann Italia and Dentsply Sirona Italia are among the major companies investing in research and new technologies to drive the market forward. With ongoing developments in digital dentistry, AI-powered diagnostics, and tissue engineering, Italy’s regenerative dentistry sector is set to grow further, positioning the country as a leader in advanced dental care across Europe.
