WHAT ARE RECEDING GUMS?

Receding gum is the gradual loss of gum tissue as a result of aging, periodontal disease, or teeth brushing with excessive force. When this happens, the root becomes exposed and teeth along the gum line will susceptible to decay and other problems. Thus it is important to have receding gums treated.

The Pinhole Surgical Technique

Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) is a minimally invasive treatment option to reverse gingival recession without grafting or sutures. What is PST (also referred to as the Lunchtime Gum Lift or Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation)? It is a novel procedure that combines techniques from traditional periodontal surgical procedures, such as coronally positioned flaps and guided bone regeneration, to reverse gingival recession. A coronally posiotioned flap (CPF) is a technique that requires creating an incision in the sulcus and across the paplillae of affected teeth, elevating a flap (either full or split thickness), pulling the flap coronally, and suturing it into place.
