Cephalometric x-ray systems are used to capture radiographic images of the entire head. The x-ray films are used by the orthodontists to view the jawbone, teeth and soft tissues to diagnose misalignment or malocclusions, also known as bite problems. The cephalometric x-ray system is also used for the treatment of temporo-mandibular joint and several other facial structure issues. Cephalometric x-ray systems also have a major application in cosmetic surgeries. The cephalometric images are taken with a standard panoramic x-ray machine, which has one cephalometric film holder mounted off onto a mechanical arm. No films or plates are inserted inside the mouth, thus cephalometric x-ray is extraoral and painless. The two types of cephalometric x-ray systems include lateral cephalometric x-ray system and post-anterior (P-A) cephalometric x-ray system. The cephalometric x-rays are used to demonstrate facial and bone contouring in profile on a single film and are also used by the ENT (Ear/Nose/Throat) specialists to view the airway for treatment of conditions such as sleep apnea.
Increase geriatric population, technological advancements in cephalometric x-ray systems such as reduced diagnosis time and improved image quality, adoption and advantages of 3-Diemnsional images, increased incidence of dental disorders and increasing demand for cosmetic surgeries are few of the major factors expected to contribute to the growth of the cephalometric X-Ray Systems market over the period of forecast. The regulatory scenario is also expected to favour the growth of the cephalometric x-ray systems market during the period of forecast. However, dental procedures are extremely expensive and the reimbursement policies for dental care are poor. Underdeveloped dental infrastructure and expenditure are the other factors expected to hamper the growth of the cephalometric-x-ray systems market over the forecast period.
