Dr. Vailati graduated in Medicine with honours from the University of Bari in 1996, Dr. Vailati left Europe to begin her dental training in the United States of America. She obtained her second degree in Dentistry in 2000 (ranked fifth out of 120 students in the ranking list of that graduation year) at the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN, USA). In 2003 she obtained her specialty in Prosthetics at the University of Connecticut (UCONN, USA).

Returning to Europe in 2004, she joined the Prosthetics Department headed by Prof. Urs Belser at the University of Geneva in Switzerland.  After working alongside one of the world's best dentists in the field of aesthetics and adhesion, Prof. Pascal Magne, Dr. Vailati took his place (after Prof. Magne moved abroad), pursuing clinical research on adhesive techniques combined with the principles of classical prosthetics learned in America. This resulted in the making of the Adhesive Prosthesis, based on the reduction of invasiveness for the treatment initially of Dental Erosion. 

Dr. Vailati then became an international benchmark for this pioneering dental trend, also beginning to train other dentists in the rehabilitation approach based on purely adhesive techniques. In 2005, Dr. Vailati developed the 3STEP method to treat patients with tooth wear through a Comprehensive approach, no longer invasive as it had been until then, and became a champion in the fight for dental preservation. Thanks to the huge number of patients rehabilitated following the 3STEP method, she also became an expert in the treatment of patients with Bruxism. 

Today Dr. Vailati is considered one of the leading exponents in the field of Gnathology applied to tooth wear and chewing dysfunction, and she is invited to speak at the most prestigious conferences worldwide.

Since 2007, Dr. Vailati has been practicing in Geneva, focusing mainly on complex rehabilitations with aesthetic and functional problems, following the completely non-invasive principles of ADDITIONAL Prosthodontics. 

Dr. Vailati has published numerous unpublished articles on topics in Restorative/Prosthetic Dentistry and Implantology. Dr. Vailati's pioneering work in fusing classical Prosthodontics with adhesive techniques has culminated in her bestselling book, "3STEP, the Additive Prosthodontics," which was released in 2022 and has already been translated into multiple languages to meet the great demand internationally for teaching in the field of functional Additive Prosthodontics. 

Finally, Dr. Vailati founded her Academy (3STEP Academy), and its E-learning platform, to continue training dentists worldwide in the 3STEP method, Additive Prosthetics and Gnathology, always in line with the non-invasive approach in treating patients.
