What mectron s.p.a. does

Mectron S.p.A. is an Italian dental medical device manufacturer headquartered in Carasco, Genoa, founded in 1979 and operating as a privately held single-member company (Società a socio unico) with fully paid-up share capital of EUR 10,000,000. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes precision dental surgical and hygiene equipment built around proprietary piezoelectric technology, marketed primarily under the PIEZOSURGERY® brand.

Its product portfolio spans four core lines: piezoelectric bone surgery systems including MT-BONE, PIEZOSURGERY® touch, PIEZOSURGERY® white, and the PIEZODRILL® insert family; ultrasound scaling and hygiene devices including multipiezo, micropiezo, compact piezo LED, and compact piezo P2K; air-polishing units including combi touch and starjet plus prophylaxis powders; and LED curing lights across the starlight family (uno, pro, sx5, s+). The technical foundation is piezoelectric ultrasonic bone surgery with controlled micro-vibrations that selectively cut mineralized tissue while preserving soft tissue, augmented by a built-in Feedback System that monitors performance and adjusts parameters in hundredths of a second, and a Nitro-Titanium insert surface treatment that extends insert life. The portfolio is supported by a substantial consumables layer of 50+ specialized inserts and accessory products including enzymec cleaning solution.

Mectron distributes exclusively through a global network of authorized dealers covering dental markets across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, rather than direct-to-customer sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue generated primarily through hardware unit sales plus recurring consumable and accessory replenishment. End customers are dental professionals — general practitioners, oral surgeons, periodontists, implantologists, and dental hygienists — served horizontally across procedures including osteotomy, sinus lift, extraction, implant preparation, periodontal treatment, prophylaxis, crown preparation, and endodontics. Technical support, training, and an authorized repair center operate from the Carasco headquarters.
