During the Pinhole Surgical Technique™, a tiny needle is used to make a small hole in the patient’s existing gum tissue. Through this pinhole, special PST™ proprietary instruments are used to gently loosen the gum tissue. These tools help slide and reposition the gumline to cover the exposed root structure. There are no grafts, no sutures, and no incisions needed with the Pinhole Surgical Technique™. It simply involves the adjustment of the existing tissue. An enhanced PST™ is achieved by utilizing Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF). Simply put, your blood is taken chair-side from a vein in your arm by Dr. Etess himself. In about ten minutes, the blood is prepared and processed with absolutely NO CHEMICALS, and it is ready for immediate use to help HEAL YOU. PRF is a revolutionary leap forward in dental healing. The PRF plug that is created contains your own growth factors, growth proteins, healing platelet cytokines, and all-important regenerative stem cells. The PRF becomes your own dynamic super biomaterial to biologically stimulate your Pinhole soft tissue gum lift repair and regeneration, and to aid and accelerate wound healing. There are only about 1500 dentists WORLDWIDE who can perform and are certified in the Pinhole Surgical Technique®, and only a small fraction of them like Dr. Lieu utilizes PRF to achieve even greater results.
