I know a woman who had this done and about 5 years later she lost all her teeth. I think because when they take some gum tissue from above the recession the gum tissue that is left is not thick enough to hold the teeth tight in the socket/jaw, so the teeth get loose and fall out. I’ll bet the dentists that do this procedure make everyone sign an agreement that they aren’t held liable for any tooth looseness or loss.

[@allennazeri]

The procedure is interesting but the reason for the recession has more to do with patient's clenching habits than brushing and the fact that the tissue will be extended down with no bone support, in my humble opinion, the chances of re-recession is very high. Nevertheless, I applaud Dr. Chao for his innovative and creative technique.

[@Glenwoodsmiles]

I agree there should be some follow up on post-care to make sure patients are falling back on old bad habits.

[@drelvisvalentino2638]

Yes, and Allen was runned out of HIS practices, for horrible dentistry, so what do you know to comment on anything

[@leonelariciaga3537]

Thank you Doctor Chao. For sharing and teaching other doctors. Your are helping our teeth humanity.

[@drmajidwani9257]

I hope i can apply this technique after completing my BDS

[@drelvisvalentino2638]

The main reason for recession is usually Trismus. A condition that is chronic and will persist if not addressed. TMJ is the main issue here. So having the gums "pulled" this way , the condition that causes this is STILL there.

[@cerinam7929]

Dr Elvis Valentino do you even know what trismus is? Lol trismus is basically "lockjaw". Recession is usually from malocclusion, clenching and grinding. It's also a result from gum disease. But trismus like you stated is NOT the reason for it.

[@rikirex2162]

kids should learn about their brushing and caring from the first year in school, parents don't have the time or don't know them self yet!Constructive non profit advertisement on TV should take place in every country with a respectable Government ...(hahahah). Tooth care is very important the right habits to care for it should be taken when very young

[@illmatic33]

Is this effective of around an implant? I'm an implant candidate but is hesitant because of receding gum which would make the artificial tooth sit a little higher than the natural one.

[@optionwala23]

How is the attachment of gingiva to the previously denuded surface of the tooth. Is there any new attachment formation or a pocket formation.

[@tukni09]

My periodontist suggested this procedure to me. I am hesitant and skeptical to do it especially after reading all the reviews of the people who have done it. There no one said a good review. Most of them said they just suffered from pain and facial distortion or if successful, no one mentioned it last longer. Most of them said it went from they were receded gum or worst. Anyone could say it is really effective?

[@kalijasin]

This is amazing!

[@BooksandPaws]

this is only class I recession case but what about class II III and class IV recesssion ...??

[@michaelmong7366]

This procedure don’t work. I’ve had my whole upper gums done and after thousands of dollars and enduring much suffering and pain let alone not able to eat and brushing my teeth. There was no improvement in my gums receding. Please don’t do it. I recommend the gum grafting procedure. I’ve had this done also and it worked for me.

[@78LB]

Thanks for being honest. I am considering both options but I feel that the traditional way may last longer and do less damage in the long run. I do think that the pin prick procedure will be perfected in time though. Just a bit too soon.

[@imeldacordova7908]

How is your graft surgery ? Thanks

[@naivewalter8998]

Yeah, im still a teen, and i have had problems with Not brushing my teeth, and i used to brush them vigorously, so i have some gum recesion. My teeth were really bad before i got braces, and ended up having them for 3 years. I didnt like brushing my teeth so i waited a week before a dentist appointment to brush 3 times a day... i also clenched my teeth alot because braces hurt those first two years and every time i got a wire changed. it was a really bad habit of mine, and my parents spent over $5,000 because my teeth were so bad. I dont want to make them pay more than they need to, and i dont know if the pinpoint treatment would work on it, but my gum recession is on my bottom tooth, front row. One is getting worse and i dont know what to do. Can someone help me???

[@carmenpopescu676]

My son has the same issue, what did you do? Looking at possibilities. Ty

[@anitathomson9628]

I had the surgery yesterday and have some tenderness and swelling but no pain today. It did hurt for about 4 hours yesterday when the anaesthetic wore off.
