Medicalfit

Medicalfit (officially the Medicalfit Research & Investment Group) is a Spanish business group specialising in dental technology and the production of prosthetics using digital workflows. It is headquartered in Úbeda (Jaén) and operates in Spain, Mexico and Romania.[1]

History

The company's origins can be traced back to 1995, when Laboratorios Pedro Perales was established in Begíjar, Jaén. The company specialised in manufacturing dental prostheses. The following year, the business relocated to Úbeda and shifted its focus to cosmetic dentistry and dental ceramics.

The company was formally incorporated as Laboratorios Pedro Perales, S.L.P. in 2008.[2] From the 2010s onwards, it began using digital processes in prosthesis manufacture, including computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies.

In 2023, the Medicalfit Research & Investment Group was established, comprising various companies involved in technology, manufacturing, and training.[3]

Business

The company operates in the field of dental technology. It specialises in manufacturing dental prostheses using digital processes and providing implantology solutions.

Its areas of work include producing custom-made prostheses, developing digital protocols for dentistry and providing technical services to dental clinics and laboratories.[4]

It has also developed digital platforms and services for the dental sector based on CAD/CAM technologies.

Research and development

Medicalfit collaborates with academic institutions in the field of dental research. In 2023, Medicalfit established a university chair focused on oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation research in partnership with the International University of Catalonia (UIC Barcelona).[5]

Medicalfit has also collaborated with the University of Jaén on technological development projects relating to the automated design of dental prostheses using 3D processing techniques and artificial intelligence.[6][7]

Several scientific studies in prosthodontics have examined procedures and devices related to technologies used in clinical practice. These studies have been published in specialist journals such as the Journal of Prosthodontics,[8] and the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry.[9]

Patents

The company and its affiliated entities hold several patents relating to dental implantology devices and procedures in Spain and Europe. These are registered with the European Patent Office and the Espacenet database.[10][11][12][13]
