disagree Heather Phillips : medici chirurghi are just doctors according to one of my clients, who holds a registration certificate issued by this body. Not surgeons at all.

ORDER OF PHYSICIANS, SURGEONS AND DENTISTS

A revision of my original answer which had mistranslated odontoiatri.
Corrected by texjax DDS PhD.
To restate the logic, I hold the literal translation is most appropriate since it is a particular organization rather than a direct equivalent of AMA or BMA. It would be like changing AMA to BMA when switching to British orthography.

disagree Heather Phillips : medici chirurghi are doctors, odontoiatri are just dentists
