What Is the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique? Unlike the traditional gum recession procedure known as gum grafting the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique procedure does not require the use of scalpels and stitches to perform it. Also, this type of technique utilizes new technology and is minimally invasive. Dental lasers are used to make a small pinhole in the gum tissue to allow the doctor to move the gums into the correct position. Also, the gums are held in place with collagen strips as opposed to stitching. Also, because this type of dental procedure is minimally invasive it also allows the patient to heal sooner and get back to their day to day life.
