The former practice used systems designed for minimally invasive surgery, starting with diagnosis using three-dimensional imaging , individual abutment planning, prosthetic production and follow-up Professional tooth cleaning (PZR) .

How implants were planned at the former Dr Junk Munich practice

How does implant treatment generally proceed?

Good preparation is important when a patient and their implant dentist decide on one or more implants.

Before implant treatment, various preliminary assessments and sometimes preparatory treatments . Bone, soft tissues, remaining teeth and general health must be assessed. The basic pathway is similar in a clinic, with an implant-experienced dentist or a specialist, but is adapted to the individual case.

Preliminary assessment and treatment planning

• Detailed medical and dental history
• Examination of teeth, gums and oral cavity
• Appropriate radiographs; in selected cases cone-beam CT (CBCT/DVT) to assess three-dimensional structures 3D radiographic diagnostics Assessment of bone quantity and quality
• Discussion of individual options and implant concepts
• Conventional impression or digital scanning of the dental arches, depending on the workflow
• Planning before implantation: digital tools can help visualise implant position and the expected prosthetic result, but they do not eliminate biological variables.
• Instructions on oral hygiene and maintenance of the future restoration

Oral health and hygiene are important for reducing complications and maintaining implants. If the assessment reveals disease or risk factors , preliminary treatment or changes to the plan may be required.

Preparatory treatment before implant placement

• Treatment of active caries
• Treatment of periodontitis and stabilisation of gum health
• Production of a provisional restoration where needed
• Functional assessment and, where indicated, management of temporomandibular-joint or bite disorders

Surgical stages of implant placement

• Local anaesthesia; sedation or general anaesthesia only where appropriate
• Surgical placement of the artificial root in jawbone with or without a surgical guide; in selected cases a minimally invasive technique is possible
• Impression or scan for a provisional restoration, if required
• Placement of an aesthetic or functional provisional restoration where indicated
• Documentation of implant data / implant passport

Modern implant dentistry often allows placement under local anaesthesia. Minimally invasive techniques can reduce the surgical area and tissue trauma, but are not appropriate in every case and do not guarantee absence of pain or complications.

Follow-up and healing phase

• Period of oosseointegration is individual; it may take several weeks to several months depending on site, bone, technique and patient
• After healing, removal or modification of the provisional restoration according to the plan
• Connection of the abutment to the implant to support a crown or other restoration
• Placement of the definitive restoration made by the dental laboratory
• Thorough daily oral hygiene
• Regular dental check-ups and professional cleaning according to individual risk

Which factors support successful implant treatment?

The aim of implant treatment is to restore function, aesthetics and oral health in a way compatible with the individual situation, in either jaw.. Accurate diagnosis, comprehensive planning, correct execution and long-term maintenance are all important for success.

Experienced professionals At the former practice, dentists and dental technicians worked together on site. Digital technologies supported planning and production. Restorations were made in the in-house laboratory using materials such as zirconia and titanium alloys. The practice used, among others, implants from the German manufacturer Champions. This information documents the active-practice period and is not a current commercial recommendation.

Implant longevity depends importantly on oral hygiene, biofilm control, smoking, general health, prosthetic quality and regular follow-up. The former practice's maintenance programmes are no longer available through this archive; implant patients should follow a recall programme with their treating dentist.

Historical range of services

This archive documents a long-established dental practice in Berg am Laim/Trudering that was refurbished after around 50 years of activity and employed 5 dentists, 4 dental technicians and about 20 staff members in 400 m². The different dental specialties were available on weekdays throughout the year, including holiday periods and Friday afternoons, with early opening from 7:30 a.m. The team looked after patients' dental problems and preventive care.

The former practice's in-house dental laboratory provided follow-up service for dental prosthetics. Rapid denture repair: Dental prosthesis repairs could almost always be completed within a few hours.

Better than guessing: modern 3D imaging: directly at the former dental practice.

Aesthetic, metal-free, implant-supported high-tech restorations full-contour zirconia crowns:(lower risk of chipping).

custom titanium abutments: these were produced with modern milling equipment for optimal adaptation of implant crowns to the gingival contour.

The former team aimed to preserve healthy teeth; in the event of tooth loss it was possible to replace the tooth root immediately with immediate implant placement. The minimally invasive technique aimed to reduce pain. One advantage was that minimally invasive implant procedures could often avoid expensive bone augmentation. Patients were also given advance information about implant prices(from a German manufacturer), including 3D imaging (CBCT)formerly from EUR 1,150; each additional implanthistorically from EUR 950. Exact costs were provided before treatment. To help prevent dental problems, the prophylaxis team cleaned teeth with a gentle powder jet and polishing brush. On request there was a recall service to keep gums healthy and protect valuable restorations, even if they had been made elsewhere. The former practice had dentists and specialists for prevention, cleaning, fillings, crowns, extractions, removable dentures and minimally invasive implant treatment. practice These treatments were provided in the former Munich practice. The dental team of the former practice was the point of contact.
The former in-house dental laboratory provided modern methods to adjust, repair or clean dental prostheses quickly. Three dental technicians looked after restorations. Detailed advice was provided on both medical aspects and costs. Because of the team structure, work could often be organised efficiently and therefore at lower cost at lower cost, saving time and sometimes money. At the time, patients could request a non-binding second opinion; advice was usually free of charge.

Web reference page

This archive was created to answer many questions about dentistry through multimedia material and clinical examples. During the active-practice years, the content was often used at the Munich practice to explain procedures. Patients could review the information at home and better understand decisions about their teeth. The images are deliberately realistic; anyone who does not want to see real photographs of the mouth should avoid the relevant galleries. A realistic image can explain more than many polished logos. Many patients reviewed the information before or after an appointment. questions historically sent to praxis@de-junk.de to the author and later collected in the FAQ The archived answers may still be useful for checking whether others have had similar problems. Today the site is solely for reading information about prosthetics, geriatric dentistry, dental aesthetics, gum problems and toothache The information does not replace an examination by your own dentist. The illustrated reference can be browsed using the navigation bar with historical clinical examples from the former practice. - low-pain and affordable -
