Dental Sutures Market

• In May 2022, Medical Microinstruments (MMI) SpA, a robotics company dedicated to improving clinical outcomes for patients undergoing microsurgery, today announced the launch of its Symani Surgical System Simulator developed by VirtaMed.

• In April 2021, Dolphin Suture expanded its dental product portfolio for the first time in India and launched its non-absorbable Polytetrafluoroethylene suture. The new TEFLENE product line includes dense PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene).

In this report, the Dental Sutures Market has been segmented by Type, Technique, Material and Geography.

Dental Sutures Market, Segmentation by Type

The Dental Sutures Market has been segmented by Type into Absorbable and Non-Absorbable.

Absorbable dental sutures are designed to naturally degrade within the body, eliminating the need for suture removal. These are commonly used in oral surgeries due to their convenience and support for faster healing. Typically made from materials like polyglycolic acid or catgut, absorbable sutures currently hold a dominant market share of around 65%, fueled by rising demand for minimally invasive procedures and reduced patient discomfort.

Non-absorbable dental sutures are intended for procedures requiring extended wound support and must be manually removed after healing. Constructed from durable materials such as silk or nylon, they are favored in complex dental interventions. Although they trail behind absorbable types in popularity, non-absorbable sutures still represent nearly 35% of the market, particularly in procedures where long-term tissue approximation is critical.

Dental Sutures Market, Segmentation by Technique

The Dental Sutures Market has been segmented by Technique into Interrupted Suture, Continuous Suture and Mattress Suture.

The interrupted suture technique involves placing individual stitches that are tied and cut separately, offering strong wound closure and resistance to infection. This method allows for better wound tension control and is widely used in complex or contaminated wounds. It holds a significant share of the market, accounting for approximately 45%, due to its reliability and effectiveness in diverse dental procedures.

Continuous sutures are placed with a single thread running along the wound and secured at both ends, providing faster closure and uniform tension. They are commonly used in procedures requiring speed and efficiency, such as routine extractions or soft tissue surgeries. This technique contributes to around 35% of the market, favored for its time-saving nature and minimal material usage.

Mattress sutures, including both vertical and horizontal types, are designed to provide superior wound edge eversion and enhanced tissue approximation. They are particularly useful in areas with high tension or thick tissues. Although more technique-sensitive, mattress sutures represent about 20% of the market, often chosen for their strength and ability to reduce dead space in wound closure.

Dental Sutures Market, Segmentation by Material

The Dental Sutures Market has been segmented by Material into Synthetic Material, Natural Material.

Synthetic dental sutures are manufactured using materials like polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, and nylon, offering predictable absorption rates and minimal tissue reactivity. They are widely used in modern dental procedures due to their strength, biocompatibility, and ease of handling. This segment dominates the market with a share of around 70%, driven by advancements in polymer technology and the growing preference for precision and reliability.

Natural dental sutures are typically derived from biological sources such as silk or catgut. While they are cost-effective and readily available, they tend to have higher tissue reactivity and less predictable degradation. Despite this, they maintain a market share of about 30%, particularly in regions where traditional materials remain in clinical use or cost constraints influence material selection.

Dental Sutures Market, Segmentation by Geography

The Dental Sutures Market has been segmented by Geography into five regions; North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa and Latin America.

Dental Sutures Market Share (%), by Geographical Region

North America

North America leads the global dental sutures market with a share of approximately 35%, driven by high dental procedure volumes, advanced healthcare infrastructure, and growing demand for cosmetic dentistry. The presence of major industry players and favorable reimbursement policies also contribute to the region's dominance.

Europe

Europe holds a significant share of around 25% in the dental sutures market, supported by increased awareness of oral hygiene and government initiatives promoting dental health. Countries such as Germany, the UK, and France play key roles in driving regional growth through high dental expenditure and a well-established dental care system.

Asia Pacific

The Asia Pacific region is witnessing the fastest growth, capturing nearly 20% of the market share, propelled by a rapidly expanding population, increasing dental tourism, and rising disposable incomes. Countries like China, India, and Japan are emerging as major contributors to the region’s strong momentum.

Middle East and Africa

Middle East and Africa collectively account for about 10% of the dental sutures market. Although infrastructure development and awareness levels are comparatively lower, improvements in healthcare access and growing investments in dental care are gradually driving market penetration in this region.

Latin America

Latin America holds roughly 10% of the market, fueled by improving healthcare systems and increased focus on oral health in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. Expanding private dental clinics and government-supported oral health programs are contributing to steady market expansion.
