Istituto Stomatologico Italiano

What Istituto Stomatologico Italiano does

Istituto Stomatologico Italiano (ISI) is a Milan-based dental and maxillofacial healthcare institution founded in 1908 by Professor Carlo Platschick, operating today as a private social cooperative (Società Cooperativa Sociale ONLUS). From its single headquarters at Via Pace 21 in central Milan, the institution runs a multi-specialty dental polyclinic with 15+ specialties staffed by over 120 qualified professionals, a dedicated maxillofacial surgery department with three operating theaters, an on-site medical analysis laboratory, and a diagnostic imaging center equipped with 3D Cone Beam CT, digital radiography, ultrasonography, intraoral scanning, computer-guided implantology, piezosurgery, and laser therapy. It also operates the Palazzi Library, one of Italy's largest dental collections with over 6,000 volumes.

The business model combines multiple revenue streams: direct private payments from patients, reimbursement through the Italian National Health Service (SSN), direct billing arrangements with six supplementary health insurance funds (FASDAC, BLU ASSISTANCE, EDENRED, POSTE, AXA CARING, MY ASSISTANCE), fee-for-service laboratory and imaging diagnostics, and continuing medical education (ECM-credited) courses, scientific evenings, and specialization programs for dental professionals. Customers span the general public, patients with disabilities or medically complex needs requiring treatment in protected settings, insured policyholders, and dental professionals seeking training. ISI's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via walk-ins, phone, and online booking, supplemented by insurer channel partnerships and an academic/training community motion.

ISI maintains long-standing academic partnerships with the University of Pavia (since 1954), the University of Milan (hosting its Specialization School in Odontostomatological Surgery), and UniCamillus International Medical University in Rome (2026 Cultural Program), and holds the 2006 Ambrogino d'Oro civic merit award from the Municipality of Milan. Governance is provided by a Consiglio di Amministrazione led by President Alberto Clivio and Vice President Filippo Azzali, with a Collegio Sindacale and Organismo di Vigilanza providing oversight.
