Tenting Screw Technique

The technique is presented as potentially low cost, low morbidity, and relatively less technically sensitive. Previous findings include an average vertical bone gain of 6.2 mm when a tenting screw is combined with a collagen membrane. The tent-pole technique has been reported to preserve compromised extraction sockets without bone graft material. One randomized controlled trial found no significant added augmentation benefit from adding a tenting screw to a bone block. Tenting screws maintain regenerative space by supporting barrier membranes. The tenting screw technique for guided bone regeneration is based on guided bone regeneration principles.
