How do I use the tenting screws?

The tenting screws and the cap screws, part of the Citagenix Screw & Tack Kit, are designed to create and maintain space in bone grafting cases.

Align the top of the tenting screw body with the desired height of your membrane placement. The screw threads should be a minimum of 2-3mm into the recipient’s bone to be properly engaged. Back-fill with grafting material to height of the tenting screw body. Place the membrane (with pilot holes) and align the screw head opening. Place the tenting screw head into tenting screw body while stabilizing the membrane.
