This can occur as a result of periodontal disease (gingivitis, periodontitis, advanced periodontitis), the natural aging process, or abrasive habits when it comes to brushing the teeth. The Pinhole Surgical Technique can repair gum recession instantly.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3>Why should gum recession be taken seriously?<\/h3>\n<div>When gum recession occurs, the root structure of the tooth becomes exposed. This means that tooth decay and other problems can affect the teeth along the gumline and beneath it. Since healthy gums are essential for a healthy mouth, getting gum recession treated is important for lasting dental wellness.<\/div>\n<h3>What is the Chao Pinhole \u00ae Surgical Technique (PST)?<\/h3>\n<div>The Chao Pinhole \u00ae Surgical Technique is a minimally invasive option for treating gum recession. Unlike traditional grafting techniques, PST<\/div>\n<div>is incision and suture free.\u00a0 All of the tools and techniques used to perform the PST were created by Dr. John Chao.\u00a0 VIPS Periodontist, Dr. Nauman Quamar, was trained personally by Dr. Chao in this revolutionary technique.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_204\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-204\" class=\"wp-image-204 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vipsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pst-case-comparison-1024x190.jpg\" alt=\"pst case comparison\" width=\"1024\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vipsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pst-case-comparison-1024x190.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vipsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pst-case-comparison-300x56.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vipsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pst-case-comparison-768x143.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vipsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/pst-case-comparison.jpg 1297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-204\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Correcting Gum Recession With Pinhole Surgical Technique<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How Does PST Differ From Traditional Grafting?<\/h3>\n<div>Traditional gum recession treatments involve the use of donor tissue or soft tissue grafts in order to rebuild the gumline.
