How is the Pinhole Surgical Technique Performed?

During the Pinhole Surgical Technique, a needle is used to make a small hole in the patient’s existing gum tissue.

Through this pinhole, special instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue, expand and slide the gumline to cover the exposed root structure.

What is Gum Recession and Why is it Important?

Gum recession occurs when the tissue surrounding a tooth begins to wear away, which can expose the tooth and its root. Receding gums can create gaps between the gum and tooth leading to disease causing bacteria to build up. Left untreated, the tissue and bone structure surrounding the tooth begins to deteriorate resulting in tooth loss.

Mild cases of gum recession can be treated with professional deep cleanings, while severe cases typically require a more advanced approach like the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Pinhole Surgical Technique differ from traditional gum grafting?

Traditional gum recession treatments involve the use of donor tissue or soft tissue grafts to rebuild the gumline. The soft tissue is sutured to existing gum tissue as it heals.

The Pinhole® Surgical Technique requires no grafts, no sutures, and no incisions. It simply involves the adjustment of the existing tissue.

Although traditional grafting treatment is effective, the Pinhole® Surgical Technique offers comparable results with a better patient experience.
