Vol. 11 – Number 41 – 2019 Information and Technology column Page 15-22 The use of tent screws and custom titanium mesh in vertical guided bone regeneration surgeries Fábio Shiniti Mizutani1 Danilo Lazari Ciotii2 Danilo Maeda Reino3 Marcelo De Faveri4 RESUME The objective of this work was to report the use of Tenda DM® Screw and customized titanium meshes in vertical bone regeneration procedures. Tent screws are surgical artifacts that help maintain space for bone regeneration, serving as support for membranes, in addition to serving as fixing and stabilizing agents. The Tenda DM® Screw is a set consisting of an anchor screw, self-tapping, polished, with slightly conical body. It has a slot for insertion wrench in the square format and has an internal thread to receive a cover screw that stabilizes the membrane easily, helping to maintain space for bone regeneration. This work reports the use of the tent screw and the customized titanium mesh in a simultaneous vertical and horizontal bone augmentation procedure. The six-month tomographic follow-up shows excellent stability of the whole, without complications in the soft tissues. Descriptors: guided bone regeneration, biomaterials, tent screw, titanium mesh. ¹ Me. And Dr. in Implantology – SLMandic, Prof. Master’s Degree in Periodontics – SLMandic ² Me.
