The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique
One of the most innovative forms of gum recession treatment is the Chao Pinhole Technique. Backed by Chao's extensive research and clinical experience, the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique uses a needle to make small holes in the gum tissue. Once the gum tissue is loosened, our Smart Smile dental specialists will guide the existing gum tissue over receding parts of the tooth. This technique helps with receding gums and can be beneficial for holding off gum disease by addressing the relevant aspect of gum recession—tissue loss.
The Chao Pinhole Technique is a minimally invasive alternative for treating gum recession. Let’s examine the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, what it entails, and why it might make the most sense for your particular priorities, whether they include aesthetic goals, recovery time, or overall comfort. The procedure has been said to be a great treatment for gum recession according to most patients. The Chao Pinhole Technique is also called the PST, the pinhole surgical technique.
What is the Chao Pinhole Technique?
Dr. John Chao invented and patented the suture-free Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, and it has revolutionized how periodontists help reverse gum recession. Backed by years of scientific investigation and in depth knowledge of periodontal anatomy, the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive treatment where a needle makes a small hole in your existing gum tissue. Once this small hole is created, special instruments gently loosen the patient’s existing gum tissue, offering unique solutions for restoring the gumline without traditional grafting or sutures.
The Chao Pinhole Surgery is much different from the standard treatment for gum recession called soft tissue grafting, where donor tissue or a connective tissue graft is used to help rebuild the gumline. For those looking for a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum grafting, the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique is the best option. It avoids the need for a connective tissue graft, making it a much easier and more convenient option compared to conventional gum grafting. A local anesthetic is also administered.
Unlike the standard treatment involving a connective tissue graft, the Chao Pinhole Technique is a minimally invasive option. Why deal with invasive surgical tools when the Chao Pinhole Technique can be used instead? Unlike traditional
gum recession treatments called grafting procedures, the Chao Pinhole Technique doesn’t require donor tissue or uncomfortable sutures. It’s also important to note, however, that not everyone is an ideal candidate for the Chao Pinhole Technique.
