Medical - Medical: Dentistry
Italian term or phrase: di risultato possibilmente eccellente
The whole sentence is over 150 words, this section is the conclusion, describing the initial performance of a new product:

"fanno parte di un graduale processo di apprendimento e di evoluzione sia dell’ortodontista, ma anche di chi ci mette a disposizione materiali e protocolli sempre più ampi, migliorativi che dovrebbero consentirci di rendere i trattamenti sempre più efficaci, performanti e soprattutto di una qualità ****di risultato possibilmente eccellente****."

'Fanno' refers to 'i materiali'.

I've come up with "which way well turn out to be excellent quality" as I think the sense is that, whilst initial trials have gone well, the longer-term results remain to be seen.

Agree/disagree, all pointers welcome.

Thanks in advance.

optimal/excellent results/outcome
Explanation:
get rid altogether of "which way well turn out to be"

keep it simple, it's a scientific article, not a (bad) poem

The sense is that at the end of the day new materials and protocols should (hopefully) yield optimal results

In that excerpt I don't see any hint to long-term results
