Bone tacks and fixation screws for guided bone regeneration, used to hold membranes and titanium mesh in place and to support block grafts. Stable fixation keeps the graft where it was placed while new bone forms.

Tacks are quick to place with an applicator and mallet and suit collagen membranes. Fixation screws give firmer hold for titanium mesh and block grafts, and tenting screws support the membrane over larger defects.

Movement of the graft during healing is one of the main causes of failed augmentation, so fix the membrane on both sides of the defect.
