Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) Dentist – A Modern Solution for Gum Recession
The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) Dentist method is a breakthrough, minimally invasive procedure used to treat gum recession without cutting or stitches. Performed by skilled Gum Specialists and Periodontists, PST is often paired with Laser Gum Disease Treatment, Deep Gum Cleaning, Non-Surgical Gum Treatment, and implant-supportive procedures like Bone Grafting for Implants and Socket Preservation Procedure.
Symptoms of Gum Recession Requiring PST
- Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing
- Sensitivity to temperature or sweets
- Exposed tooth roots
- Visible gum recession or uneven gumline
- Increasing gaps between teeth
- Recurrent gum infections
- Discomfort during chewing
- Implant issues like Peri-Implantitis symptoms
Causes of Gum Recession
- Periodontal disease
- Aggressive brushing technique
- Genetic predisposition
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Poor oral hygiene
- Smoking or tobacco habits
- Misaligned teeth causing gum stress
- Trauma or injury
- Implant-related complications needing Dental Ridge Augmentation or Sinus Lift Bone Graft
Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST) – Step-by-Step Procedure
- Local anesthesia is administered
- A tiny pinhole is created above the recession site
- Special PST instruments gently loosen the gum tissue
- Gum tissue is repositioned over the exposed roots
- Collagen strips (often Allograft Bone Material) support the new gum placement
- No cutting, grafting, or sutures involved
This technique supports other advanced treatments like Laser Gum Disease Treatment, Osseous Surgery Procedure, Non-Surgical Gum Treatment, Zygomatic Implants, and Sinus Lift Procedure.
