Why the Pinhole Surgery Is
Right For You
■ The Chao Pinhole surgery requires only very little insertion of any instruments into your
body. Unlike the traditional grafting, it doesn't require the use of a scalpel and sutures.
Note that in the traditional method of gum treatment the common practice involves the
grafting of the donor or soft tissues. This practice is in place in order to make it possible
for fixing up the gum line by ensuring its saturation into a position of the soft tissue, then
at this point, the soft tissue is then joined to the existing gum tissue and allowed to heal.
This simple yet effective procedure does the job easily.
■ Meanwhile, the Chao Pinhole surgical technique offers a far more convenient gum
receding treatment for patients, unlike the more conventional procedures. This
procedure simply involves the creation of a tiny hole (commonly referred to as the
pinhole) in the patient's gum by the surgeon. The surgeon then passes through this
pinhole special instruments whose duties are basically to ensure that the tissues of the
gum are gently loosened and also used to expand and slide the patient's gum line. This
action exposes the root structure, which is then wrapped up in a cover thereby
completing the entire process without having to resort to sutures and without any
incisions or grafting unlike what is obtainable in the conventional approaches.
