The geriatric population is growing at an unprecedented rate, which has led to a high prevalence of age related dental disorders, hence fueling the growth of this market. According to NCBI, dental caries is the most prevalent oral disease in South Africa and almost 60% of the geriatric population above 60 years have had dental caries.

This can be attributed to the fact that South Africa is undergoing rapid urbanization, which is associated with increased sugar consumption. According to National Library of Medicine, majority of the people in the country have no access to private services and are dependent on the government for oral healthcare services, but less than 10% of the population utilizes public oral health services and this underutilization is due to limited resources and inaccessibility.

South Africa is a middle-income country with the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS, affecting about 5.7 million people and a prevalence rate of 12%. The high prevalence of hepatitis and HIV/AIDS infection poses a higher risk to oral health. Moreover, South Africa has dire scarcity of medical and dental professionals.
