Management Of Gingival Recession Using Pin Hole Technique: A Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
One of the most common periodontal disease is Gingival Recession, which is the apical shift of the gingival margin, results in root surface exposure. Its etiology is multifactorial, including teeth position within the dental arch, bony dehiscence, alveolar mucosa thickness, incorrect toothbrushing, orthodontic treatment, and periodontal disease. With the introduction of minimally invasive surgery, various techniques proposed for managing GR minimize patient morbidity and maximize surgical outcomes. The present case report includes a patient with primary complaint of sensitivity and poor aesthetics in the upper front tooth region. Pin Hole technique was planned and performed. Post-operative healing was uneventful, with significant recession reduction in the length of GR and an increase in the width of the attached gingiva.
