The year 2023 that is coming to an end was our 70th year. A very important anniversary, which few companies in our industry have been able to reach, both in Italy and abroad. You may wonder what it means to reach such a milestone today. The answer is far from obvious. To write 70 next to the VITALI logo means having an important part of dental manufacturing history behind us, but it especially means being the only Italian family that has constantly been committed with passion to the work unit around which all dental work is centred.

Dental units are not just any object. And those who claim that they are not worth investing in it are not taking into account the needs of those who, every day, take care of their patients’ oral health. Dental units are the operating unit of the dental practice and it is also thanks to their efficiency that practitioners can work to the best of their ability. Nowadays, dentistry is subdivided into several branches and dentists, just like doctors, are specialists who mainly perform the activities in which they have acquired the most expertise.

Believing in sustainable dentistry is possible, but more importantly, necessary. Indeed, we should bear in mind that the Earth is not ours. We inhabit it for the duration of our lives and then leave it to our children and grandchildren. We should care about leaving it as we found it. Instead, we are leaving it more and more polluted and more and more crowded. Just these days, the world's population has crossed the 8 billion threshold and, if we continue like this, greenhouse gas emissions may become unsustainable in a few decades.

Ergonomics is a 'hot' topic in the dental practice. As we all know, dentists and nurses spend significant amounts of time in working sessions during which it is common for them to assume positions that are not correct for their physical well-being. Muscle tensions, unnatural torsions, excessive loads: we are all too familiar with these consequences. Of a different origin, though equally important for work quality, is the stress felt by the patient lying in the chair. If he is uncomfortable, if he does not feel at ease, he becomes more impatient and less cooperative, making the work of the dental team difficult.

A dental unit, for us at VITALI, is like a tailor-made dress. Compared to the catalogues of many other dental unit manufacturers, our product range is deliberately concise as we have chosen to diversify our products by working above all on the configuration of each model. This means, for example, that each VITALI unit can be configured to be used comfortably by a left-handed professional.

We believe that a good dental unit should last as long as possible: indeed, if the unit you have bought allows you to operate in the best possible way, without causing any problems or stoppages, there is no reason to change it. But apart from making this necessary point, which we hope you will be able to confirm, there is no doubt that the time to change a dental unit comes sooner or later for everyone. How can you understand when such time has come?

We have always received very positive feedback from technicians: indeed, whenever a maintenance technician contacts VITALI, he knows he can count on quick answers, our willingness to listen and great cooperation. We nonetheless wanted to have confirmation of this, so we decided to ask technicians some very targeted questions.

Inheriting a dental unit business at the age of 23 and being able to run it with the help of employees alone seems incredible today! Yet. Marco Vitali has been able to do so. He claims to have succeeded because he had a great example, that of his father. We will now try to show you that, all things considered, Marco is indeed right.

Every time we deliver a new dental unit, our thoughts always turn to its future. To how efficient it will be in the daily operations of the dental practice. To how it will meet the needs of different dental teams. To the day when, after several years of operation, the dentist who bought it will realize that the reliability of VITALI dental units was not just a promise, but actual reality.
