ABOUT THE COURSE:

The Pinhole® Surgical Technique/ Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation® is a minimally invasive treatment to correct gum recession in as little as one visit.  The Pinhole® technique is a scalpel-free, suture-free and graft-free technique that is quick, easy and instantly pleasing for patients.  The Pinhole® technique has long term results of over 15 years and typically, most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours after treatment with the Pinhole® Surgical Technique.

This course is broken into a morning session which is lecture only and the afternoon session will be an intro hands-on workshop.

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

The Course objective is to learn how and why the Pinhole® Surgical Technique is so effective at treating gum recession of all types. In addition, attendees will learn through surgical videos, how the technique is easily applied without scalpels, sutures or grafting. Attendees will also have the opportunity to apply for the intro Pinhole® hands on workshop later in the day.

Pinhole® Intro Hands-on Workshop:

Attendees of the Pinhole® Intro Hands-on workshop will have the opportunity to learn some basic techniques of the Pinhole Surgical Technique through hands on training with some Pinhole instruments on a typodont model.  Dr. John Chao and his team will first lay out a brief description of how and why the Pinhole® technique works. Then the attendees will use Pinhole instruments to simulate the technique on a typodont model.  The conclusion of the session will feature Dr. Chao showing the technique on a cadaver specimen.

He received the Ostro School of Dentistry of USC, 2012 Outstanding Faculty award. Dr. Chao is also involved with the Post-Graduate Periodontics Program at the University of Buffalo in New York.
