Comparisons of age, sex, underlying comorbidities, and living areas among dentists, non-dentist HCPs, and the general population (non-HCP comparisons).
DENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SHORTAGE AREA (HPSA)
The federal Dental HPSA designation (formerly Health Manpower Shortage Areas) identifies areas as having a shortage of dental providers on the basis of availability of dentists and dental auxiliaries. To qualify for designation as a Dental HPSA, an area must be:
A rational service area, [the Federal Shortage Designation Branch recognizes Medical Services Study Areas as rational service areas.]
Population to general practice dentist ratio: 5,000:1 or 4,000:1 plus population features demonstrating "unusually high need",
A lack of access to dental care in surrounding areas because of distance, overutilization, or access barriers.
Benefits of designation as a Dental HPSA include:
Student loan repayment and personnel placement through the National Health Service Corps (NHSC);
Eligibility for the California State Loan Repayment Program;
Scholarships for dental training in return for service in a shortage area; and
Funding priorities for training in general practice dentistry in programs that provide substantial training in shortage areas.

As of 2023, California, Texas, and New York had the largest number of active dentists working. California was ranked first with over 30 thousand active dentists. Despite having the largest number of dentists working, these states were not necessarily the states with the highest dentists to population ratio.
Dentistry within the U.S. – a supply cliff?
Recent estimates have suggested that the dentistry workforce in the U.S. is lacking by over 10,000 dentists. However, some states host a much higher number of dentists per capita. The top three states with the highest dentist density were Massachusetts, Alaska, and New Jersey. Despite variability across the United States, attractive salaries may be one way to attract more dentists to practice. In a recent survey of dental professionals, dentists that worked in non-solo private practices had some of the highest annual incomes among all dentists.
Dental access and use in the U.S.
Dental use and access are staggeringly low in the United States. However, it is recommended that all people should visit their dentist regularly for cleaning and maintenance even if they have no dental issues. One barrier to dental care can be the high costs attached to some services and the lack of dental insurance to pay for care. While a majority of those that access dental services have some form of coverage to help them pay, a significant proportion of those accessing dental services are not covered by any type of insurance. Recommendations for increasing access to dental services include targeted public health programs, better insurance options, and increasing the dental workforce within the U.S.

The global dental titanium turbine market size is projected to grow significantly from $1.2 billion in 2023 to an estimated $2.5 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The market's expansion is largely driven by advancements in dental technology, increasing prevalence of dental disorders, and rising demand for minimally invasive dental procedures. The increasing awareness regarding oral health and the growing number of dental clinics and hospitals worldwide further contribute to the market's growth.
One of the primary growth factors for the dental titanium turbine market is the advancement in dental technologies. The development of more efficient and precise dental instruments, particularly turbines made from titanium, has significantly improved dental procedures. Titanium's biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and high strength-to-weight ratio make it an ideal material for dental turbines. Innovations such as computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in dentistry have also facilitated the production of highly accurate dental restorations, thereby driving the market's growth.
Another crucial factor contributing to market growth is the increasing prevalence of dental disorders and the rising geriatric population. Conditions such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, and tooth loss are becoming more common due to poor dietary habits and inadequate oral hygiene practices. The elderly population, which is more susceptible to dental issues, is expanding, thereby escalating the demand for dental services and, consequently, dental turbines. Additionally, the growing emphasis on aesthetic dentistry and the rising popularity of cosmetic dental procedures are further propelling the market.
The demand for minimally invasive dental procedures is also a significant growth driver for the dental titanium turbine market. Patients are increasingly opting for treatments that involve less pain, reduced recovery times, and fewer complications. Titanium turbines, known for their precision and efficiency, play a crucial role in such procedures. The shift towards minimally invasive techniques is complemented by the increasing investments in dental care infrastructure, especially in developing regions, which is expected to boost market growth.
Regionally, North America holds a substantial share of the dental titanium turbine market, attributed to the presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure, high dental care expenditure, and a significant number of dental professionals. Europe follows closely, with increasing awareness about oral health and supportive government initiatives. The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period, driven by the growing dental tourism industry, increasing disposable incomes, and improving healthcare facilities. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa regions are also anticipated to show notable growth, albeit at a slower pace, owing to ongoing improvements in healthcare infrastructure and rising awareness about dental health.
The dental titanium turbine market is segmented into high-speed turbines and low-speed turbines. High-speed turbines are essential for procedures that require cutting or preparing teeth efficiently and precisely. They operate at speeds ranging from 100,000 to 400,000 RPM, enabling dentists to perform tasks such as cavity preparation, crown cutting, and removal of old fillings with high efficiency. The demand for high-speed turbines is driven by their ability to significantly reduce the time required for dental procedures, enhancing patient comfort and clinic throughput.
Low-speed turbines, on the other hand, are used for procedures that require greater control and precision at lower speeds, typically ranging from 5,000 to 30,000 RPM. These turbines are ideal for tasks such as polishing, finishing, and contouring dental restorations. The market for low-speed turbines is bolstered by their application in preventive and restorative dentistry, as well as for performing delicate tasks that demand meticulous control. The growing emphasis on comprehensive dental care, which includes both high-speed and low-speed applications, is contributing to the balanced growth of these segments.
The market dynamics for both high-speed and low-speed turbines are influenced by the continuous advancements in turbine technology. Manufacturers are focusing on developing turbines that offer better torque, noise reduction, a
