Stomatologická klinika FNUSA is the dental clinic of St. Anne's University Hospital (Fakultní nemocnice u sv. Anny v Brně), located at Pekařská 664/53 in central Brno. As a joint facility of St. Anne's University Hospital and the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University, the clinic combines patient care with academic teaching and dental research, delivering specialist dental treatment across a wide range of disciplines from a single location. The clinic is led by prof. MUDr. Lydie Izakovičová Hollá, Ph.D., with deputy head MDDr. Jan Cahlík, and underwent a complete modernisation programme to expand its capacity and upgrade its diagnostic and treatment technology.
Comprehensive Dental Care Under One Roof
The clinic provides diagnosis and treatment across general dentistry, restorative dentistry, dental implantology, prosthetic dentistry, periodontal treatment, oral surgery, orthodontics, and paediatric dentistry, making it one of the most comprehensively equipped dental facilities in the South Moravian region. Patients requiring care across multiple specialties can be treated and monitored within the same institution, with specialist teams coordinating across disciplines when complex or multi-phase treatment is required. This integrated model is particularly valuable for patients whose dental needs involve interdisciplinary management, such as full-mouth rehabilitation cases where implantology, prosthetics, and periodontal treatment must proceed in a coordinated sequence.
Dental Implantology
The implantology service at Stomatologická klinika FNUSA is supported by digital planning technology and computer-guided implantation systems that allow surgeons to plan implant placement virtually before the procedure begins. Guided implantation produces more precise positioning of implants relative to the bone anatomy and the planned prosthetic restoration, reduces surgical time, and supports minimally invasive approaches that limit trauma to surrounding tissue. The clinic's prosthetic-implantology team, which includes MDDr. Petr Caha as a specialist in complex implantology, manages cases involving single-tooth replacement, multiple missing teeth, and full-arch rehabilitation, including cases with bone deficiency or prior failed implants that fall outside the scope of routine private practice.
Specialist and High-Risk Patient Care
One of the distinguishing features of Stomatologická klinika FNUSA relative to private dental practices is its capacity to treat patients whose medical history or physical condition makes standard outpatient dental treatment impractical or unsafe. The clinic offers analgosedation and general anaesthesia for dental procedures, enabling care for patients with severe dental anxiety, complex systemic medical conditions, physical or neurological disabilities, and children who cannot cooperate with conventional treatment. This service fills an important gap in access to dental care for populations who would otherwise be unable to receive the treatment they need. General anaesthesia cases are managed in coordination with the hospital's anaesthesiology staff, with the full safety infrastructure of a teaching hospital environment available.
Orthodontics
The orthodontic service at the clinic provides evaluation and treatment for both children and adults presenting with malocclusion, crowding, spacing, crossbite, or other alignment concerns. Treatment is delivered by specialists with Masaryk University academic backgrounds, and the clinic's teaching hospital environment means that treatment plans are subject to collegial review and continuing professional scrutiny that supports consistent quality. Fixed appliance treatment and other orthodontic modalities are available, with treatment planning informed by digital imaging and dental records maintained within the clinic's integrated hospital system.
Paediatric Dentistry
The paediatric dentistry service accepts children from age six and provides preventive, restorative, and surgical dental care adapted to the developmental stage and cooperation level of younger patients. The clinic's capacity for sedation and general anaesthesia means that children who are too anxious or too young to tolerate standard treatment can still receive comprehensive dental care in a safe environment. The clinic also runs community preventive dental hygiene programmes in local nursery schools and community centres twice a year, contributing to public oral health education and early preventive intervention for children outside the hospital setting. A further programme in collaboration with Brno City Offices provides preventive dental hygiene training for elderly residents in care settings.
Masaryk University Affiliation and Academic Environment
The formal affiliation between St. Anne's University Hospital and the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University means that the dental clinic operates as a practical training and research environment alongside its patient care function. Clinical staff hold academic positions and participate in research activity, and undergraduate dental students receive supervised clinical training within the facility. The academic environment creates an institutional incentive to maintain current knowledge of evidence-based dental practice, adopt validated new techniques, and maintain diagnostic and treatment standards that can withstand professional scrutiny. For patients, this context means treatment delivered by clinicians who are active in the academic community and professionally accountable to a standard higher than that required by routine private practice registration alone.
