Dental liners and bases are intermediate restorative materials positioned between the restoration and the dentin to protect the pulp. Dentists use these materials to shield the pulp from thermal and mechanical irritation, thereby enhancing the durability of dental restorations such as fillings and crowns.
The main types of dental liners and bases include zinc oxide eugenol, glass ionomers, resin-modified glass ionomers, calcium hydroxide, and composites. Zinc oxide eugenol involves a combination of zinc oxide and eugenol derived from clove oil, creating a dental substance. These materials are distributed through direct and indirect channels and are available for both adults and pediatrics. They find applications in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, dental clinics, research and academic institutes, and home care settings.
Tariffs are impacting dental liners and bases by raising the cost of imported calcium compounds, resin systems, glass fillers, and specialized curing components used in their formulations. Manufacturers in North America and Europe are particularly affected because of their dependence on imported chemical inputs, while Asia-Pacific producers are encountering increased pricing pressure on export-oriented consumables. As a result, material costs are rising and clinics and hospitals are reassessing their procurement strategies. At the same time, these tariffs are promoting greater regional sourcing of raw materials, strengthening domestic formulation capabilities, and driving innovation in more cost-efficient restorative materials.
The dental liners and bases market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides dental liners and bases market statistics, including dental liners and bases industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a dental liners and bases market share, detailed dental liners and bases market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the dental liners and bases industry. This dental liners and bases market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The dental liners and bases market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.54 billion in 2025 to $1.59 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in restorative dental procedures, rising incidence of deep cavity treatments, expansion of preventive dentistry practices, increased use of composite restorations, availability of diverse liner materials.
The dental liners and bases market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.82 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on minimally invasive dentistry, rising adoption of advanced restorative materials, growing demand for pediatric dental care solutions, expansion of cosmetic dentistry procedures, increasing emphasis on long-term tooth preservation. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of bioactive liner materials, rising demand for pulp-protective formulations, growing adoption of resin-modified glass ionomers, expansion of light-cured base materials, enhanced focus on restoration longevity.
The increasing incidences of periodontic diseases are expected to further boost the dental liners and bases market. Periodontic diseases, inflammatory conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, use dental liners and bases as a protective barrier to shield the pulp from irritants and bacteria. According to a global oral health status report by the WHO, around 19% of the global adult population, representing more than one billion cases worldwide annually, was estimated to suffer from severe periodontal diseases in 2023. The increasing incidences of periodontic diseases are expected to drive the growth of the dental liners and bases market.
Major companies are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as high-impact denture bases. This involves utilizing ceramic-infused 3D printing resin for fabricating the gum-colored section of dentures. For instance, in May 2023, SprintRay Inc., a 3D printer manufacturing company based in the United States, introduced ceramic-infused 3D printing resins designed specifically for high-performance dentures. The resulting high-impact denture bases created with this biocompatible 3D printing material exhibit improved mechanical characteristics, including enhanced impact resistance. Compared to traditional denture base materials, these products aim to provide greater durability and resistance to breakage.
In September 2024, Ultradent Products, Inc., a US-based dental materials company, acquired Medicinos Linija UAB for an undisclosed amount.
