Medical - Medical: Dentistry / product description
Italian term or phrase: Complesso odontoiatrico
I am having trouble arriving at a good translation for this term, Any and all suggestions are welcome, if someone knows the formal term, even better. Here is the context:

Complesso, destinato ad essere utilizzato da medici dentisti per eseguire interventi odontoiatrici, è costituito da due distinte apparecchiature collegate fisicamente e funzionalmente denominate rispettivamente: Poltrona dentale, Riunito dentale, gruppo idrico, tavoletta strumenti.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The dictionary says one thing and the client another. The term "riunito", in my context, is the dental unit. This system, and that is what It is, is a combination of all of the pieces including the dental unit.
