Case Identification
Procedure: Pinhole® Surgical Technique
Post-operative interval: 18 Months

This clinical case was shared by Dr. Eugene Taek Soo Chang, DDS and documents a long-term follow-up following treatment with the Pinhole® Surgical Technique.
The case was originally performed approximately 18 months prior, and the patient returned for a routine recall visit, allowing evaluation well beyond early healing and into the tissue maturation phase.
At the 18-month post-operative interval, the treated sites demonstrate stable soft-tissue conditions with maintained gingival margin position and healthy tissue appearance consistent with ongoing biologic remodeling.
In this case, teeth #29 and #30 were restored with crowns approximately 6 months after the Pinhole® procedure. At the 18-month recall, the soft tissues surrounding the restored teeth remain stable, with favorable contour and thickness.
These findings reflect long-term tissue response rather than short-term post-surgical changes and highlight the importance of biologically driven healing over time.
We sincerely thank Dr. Eugene Taek Soo Chang, DDS for sharing this case and for allowing us to feature it as part of our ongoing clinical case library.
