Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique: Gum surgery Treatment

Gums can recede for several reasons, such as genes, intense brushing, and periodontal disease. Get treatment if your receding gums are exposing your roots.

Due to the hypersensitivity brought on by exposed roots, they are more prone to injury and bacterial infections, which can result in gum disease and other issues. It may also hurt when you smile. Most patients are happily surprised by how quickly the Chao Pinhole technique helped them improve.

Compared to conventional gum grafting, The Pinhole operation makes a tiny hole in the patient’s gum tissue and then utilizes a special tool to loosen the gum tissue through the hole extending and covering the root surface of the affected gum. Depending on how many teeth need treatment, each visit duration varies.

One tooth tissue can be treated in roughly 10–20 minutes, and the entire operation is often finished in 1–2 hours maximum. Pain, swelling, and bleeding associated with the postoperative period are reduced because there are no cuts or stitches.

The benefits of the Chao Pinhole Surgery method

Chao Pinhole Surgery has numerous advantages including but not limited to:

– After treatment, the patient experiences less discomfort and recovers faster than with standard grafting.

– There are no stitches, no grafts, no cuts.

– Gives great natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Who are the candidates for pinhole surgery?

Pinhole surgery may be an option for everyone who has receding gums, but a specialist dentist can decide if the operation is appropriate for you too.
