The Key to Long-Term Pinhole® Success: Overcorrection

If you aren’t overcorrecting, you aren’t finished.

Dear Pinhole® Graduate,

We know the feeling. You finish a case, the gum line looks perfect, right at the CEJ. It looks great for the patient today. But we also know the biology of healing: tissue settles.

If you aim for “perfect” coverage on the day of surgery, you may fall short months later.

The Key is Overcorrection. To achieve a result that lasts for years, you must achieve a result that looks “too high” immediately after surgery. You need to overcorrect to account for the natural settling process.

This is the secret to better tissue quality and a better gum line. When you have enough release to overcorrect, you get thicker, healthier tissue regeneration rather than a thin, stretched margin.

But how do you get that much release without tension?

The Solution: New Instrument Sequencing

Many doctors struggle to get the tissue high enough because they encounter resistance. We have solved this with a new sequencing protocol introduced in our latest Refresher Course.

The Protocol: “Slim After Regular” By using a Slim Instrument immediately after every Regular Instrument pass, you achieve a significantly deeper, tension-free release.

• The Regular Instrument creates the path.
• The Slim Instrument immediately expands the release in tight spaces that the regular tool misses.

This combination unlocks the tissue so completely that overcorrection becomes effortless.
