A minimally invasive approach to gum recession
How the Pinhole® Surgical Technique works. PST® uses a single 2–3 mm needle entry and specially designed instruments to loosen and guide existing gum tissue over exposed roots—no scalpel, no sutures, and no tissue harvested from the palate.
Technique overview
Scalpel-free. Suture-free. No palatal donor site. The approach is designed to treat selected recession cases through a small entry point. Clinical examination and case selection determine whether PST® is appropriate.
