Medical - Medical: Dentistry / dentistry costs
Italian term or phrase: protesi sociale
I'm having trouble finding a translation for "sociale" in this context.

It clearly refers to dental care provided at an accessible price because I have this sentence:

La crisi economica mondiale spinge i pazienti alla ricerca di soluzioni più sociali, a costo più contenuto.

The real difficulty is when they start talking about the dentures or implants:

Possiamo offrire un impianto a esagono esterno più performante nella protesi sociale

All suggestions welcome!

external exagon implants


Explanation:
Impianti esagono esterno are fixtures screwed into the bone with an hexagonal section, keeping outside the bone, where a prosthetic element is fitted and fixed. The hexagon is required to accurately position the prosthetic element on its cervical incisive axis, to avoid unwanted rotation in the positioning and setting of the element in the patient mouth. Your text suggest me the chance to offer better performing prostethic solutions (implant supported prosthesis) within Social Security scheme, or at least in the same price range.

According to me a coma is missing in your Italian text: Possiamo offrire un impianto a esagono esterno, più performante nella protesi sociale.
I would translate as: We can offer external hexagon implant, better performing in social prothesis

neutral  texjax DDS PhD: Non significa questo. Nei tuoi esempi ci si riferisce alla vita sociale, di relazione. Il "sociale" della domanda ha una connotazione diversa.

  -> secondo me pensiamo la stessa cosa, ho visto l'altro commento. il testo e' chiaro, vuol dire accessibile a tutti, sarebbe affordable forse pure low-cost ma non può essere pubblicizzato così. E riabilita socialmente, consente di preservare la dignità
agree  cristina cinquini: Il significato è proprio quello indirizzato a ceti sociali ben specifici, con redditi stabiliti. Direi "social care dental prosthesis http://www.odontotecnici.net/news/2009/014articolo2009.htm

  -> non lo sapevo, comunque bisogna poi fare i conti con la realtà, non so se vivi in Italia ma a me sembra che l'assistenza sanitaria stia diventando solo un argomento di discussione
