The dental cement market was valued at USD 1,375.26 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 4.90% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2032 to reach USD 2,011.64 million by 2032. The dental cement market is growing significantly due to the rising incidence of dental disorders like tooth decay and periodontal disease, driven by poor oral hygiene, unhealthy diets, and tobacco use. Increased public awareness, supported by health campaigns and better access to care, is encouraging more people to seek preventive and restorative treatments. In response, companies are investing in R&D and launching advanced, minimally invasive materials. These factors are creating strong momentum for continued market growth from 2025 to 2032.

Dental Cement Market Dynamics:

According to the World Health Organization (2025), oral diseases affected approximately 3.5 billion people worldwide, posing a major global health burden. Common issues included dental caries, periodontal disease, and complete tooth loss. Around 7% of adults aged 20 and above had lost all their teeth, with the rate rising to 23% among those over 60. Periodontal diseases impacted nearly 1 billion people, and hundreds of millions suffered from oral-dental trauma due to accidents or injuries. Dental cements play a crucial role in a wide range of procedures, including cavity fillings, crown and bridge placements, orthodontics, and root canal therapy, as they are used for adhesion, insulation, and pulp protection. The increase in dental disorders has led to a surge in patient visits for restorative care, thereby expanding the need for reliable, durable, and biocompatible dental cement products.

Furthermore, public health campaigns by governments, dental associations, and non-profits have raised awareness about oral hygiene, early diagnosis, and preventive care, leading more people to seek regular dental check-ups. This has increased the demand for restorative treatments like fillings, crowns, and root canals, all of which rely on dental cements, thereby boosting the market. For example, WHO's Global Oral Health Action Plan 2023–2030 promotes preventive dental care worldwide, while the Indian Dental Association’s ""Oral Health Month 2024"" with Colgate-Palmolive provided free check-ups and education across India.

Additionally, according to the data provided by the Government of the UK (2023), approximately 63% of adults said they went to the dentist for regular check-ups, 15% went for occasional check-ups, and 18% went to the dentist only when they had trouble with their mouth, teeth, or dentures in the United Kingdom. During routine visits, dentists are able to detect problems like dental caries, tooth fractures, gum disease, and enamel erosion at early stages, conditions that often require restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canals. These treatments depend heavily on dental cement for bonding, sealing, and long-term durability.

Moreover, the key market players, like Septodont in December 2022, launched Biodentine XP, an upgraded version of its dentine replacement material. Biodentine® is used in over 60 countries and credited with saving over 5 million teeth. Based on Active Biosilicate Technology™, Biodentine XP offers high bioactivity, dentine bridge formation, and excellent sealing. The new system included an all-in-one cartridge, proprietary mixer, and applicator gun for easier, more precise use. It supported nine dental indications from crown to root, including pulp capping, pulpotomies, deep cavities, and endodontic repairs.

Thus, the factors mentioned above are expected to boost the overall market of dental cements during the forecast period from 2025 to 2032.

However, the potential side effects, such as allergic reaction, tooth sensitivity, inflammation, among others, and lack of long-term durability may restrain their adoption and may limit the growth of the dental cement market.

Dental Cement Market Segment Analysis:

Dental Cement Market by Product Type (Temperary Cement and Permenant Cement), Material (Resin, Glass Ionomer, Zinc Oxide-Eugenol, Zinc Phosphate, and Others), Application (Luting, Restoration, and Pulp Protection), End-User (Hospitals, Dental Clinics,  and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)

In the material segment of the dental cement market, the resin category is estimated to account for the largest market share in 2024. Resin-based dental cement offer several advantages, making them ideal for modern restorative procedures. They provide strong chemical and micromechanical adhesion to both tooth structures and restorative materials, ensuring long-term retention. Their excellent aesthetic properties, such as translucency, shade variety, and color stability, make them especially suitable for anterior restorations. Resin cements also have low solubility, reducing the risk of microleakage, secondary caries, and post-operative sensitivity. With high compressive and tensile strength, they perform well under stress, and their dual- or light-cure options allow flexibility in clinical use. Additionally, they are compatible with a wide range of modern restorative materials like ceramics, composites.

Resin-based dental cement are widely used in both temporary and permanent restorative procedures due to their versatility and strong adhesive properties. For example, temporary restorations, 3M RelyX™ Temp and Kerr TempBond (eugenol and non-eugenol) offer reliable short-term retention and easy removal. Waldent Dentemp provides a convenient, self-curing resin option for fillings and crowns.

Moreover, resin dental cement is a versatile material known for its high bond strength to both tooth structure and restorative materials, making it ideal for permanent restorations like crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, and orthodontic brackets. It offers excellent marginal sealing, low solubility in oral fluids, and is available in light-cure, self-cure, or dual-cure forms for clinical flexibility. Additionally, the increase in product development activities in the resin category is also boosting the overall market of resin dental cement. For instance, in July 2024, Shofu Dental Corporation launched BeautiLink SA, a self-adhesive resin cement tailored for zirconia restorations, at the California Dental Association annual meeting. Zirconia is the preferred material for dental crowns, with 98% of dentists using it for posterior crowns.

Thus, the factors mentioned above are likely to boost the market segment and thereby increase  the overall market of dental cement across the globe.

North America is expected to dominate the overall dental cement market:

North America is anticipated to hold the largest share of the dental cement market in 2024, supported by several key factors. The region’s dominance is largely attributed to increasing oral health awareness through various initiatives, a rise in dental implant procedures, and continuous research and development efforts by leading industry players. These factors, along with the strong presence of major market participants, are expected to reinforce North America's leading position in the global dental cement market.

According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (2022), approximately 3 million people in the U.S. had dental implants, with an annual increase of about 500,000 procedures. This reflected a growing demand for implants, which often require dental cement for securing crowns, bridges, or abutments. Dental cements are used to permanently or temporarily fix the prosthesis in place, thereby boosting the market of dental cement across the region.

Additionally, as per the data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2023), adults aged 20 to 64 who had at least one decayed, missing, or filled tooth (DMFT > 0) were found to have an average of 0.7 decayed teeth, 6.0 filled teeth, and 2.0 teeth missing due to disease. This shows that tooth decay and loss are common problems in adults, leading to a high demand for dental treatments like fillings, crowns, and bridges. These treatments rely heavily on dental cement for bonding and sealing. As more people need these restorative procedures, the demand for high-quality dental cements is expected to grow, boosting the overall dental cement market.

Recently, the Canadian Dental Association launched the National Oral Health Month 2025 campaign to emphasize the link between oral health and overall well-being. It promoted good hygiene habits, regular dental check-ups, and evidence-based care. Such awareness efforts are expected to encourage more people to seek dental treatments, thereby boosting the demand for dental cements.

In addition, in March  2025, Solventum announced a strategic partnership with SprintRay to develop and commercialize high-quality, durable same-day dental restorations using in-office chairside 3D printing. The collaboration aimed to bring crowns, inlays, onlays, and more to market with the speed and precision of modern 3D printing, matching the quality of traditional lab-fabricated procedures. Solventum contributed advanced materials like Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative, Scotchbond™ Universal, and RelyX™ Universal Cement, while SprintRay provided its end-to-end 3D printing ecosystem to support a wide range of restorative applications.

Thus, the above-mentioned drivers are indicated to boost the market of dental cement in the North America region throughout the forecast period from 2025 to 2032.
