SMART Dental Practice: management control and KPIs for informed growth

On 21 February 2026, at Orthofan’s headquarters in Civitella del Tronto, the course ‘SMART Dental Practice – Indicators and Management Control’ was held, a training day dedicated to practice owners who wish to transform their professional reality into an efficient, structured and numbers-oriented organisation.

The course, with limited enrolment to ensure maximum interaction, explored the key economic, organisational and commercial KPIs essential for monitoring the profitability and sustainability of a dental practice.

Among the topics covered:

  • correct incidence of fixed and variable costs in relation to turnover
  • remuneration and margins of collaborators
  • setting budgets for services and periods
  • incentive schemes for staff
  • analisi dei dati commerciali e strumenti di business intelligence
  • commercial data analysis and business intelligence tools

Particular attention has been paid to the concept of planning and management control as a concrete lever for increasing productivity and margins, avoiding a ‘by sight’ management of the firm.

The course was led by Dr Dario Di Carlo, a management consultant specialising in management control for dental practices and dental laboratories, who provided practical tools that could be immediately applied to the participants’ everyday work.

For Orthofan, hosting training events of this calibre means contributing not only to product quality, but also to the managerial growth of the professionals we work with: because a more knowledgeable and organised practice is a more solid and future-oriented partner.
