Abstract: Adequate bone volume is a key factor for the success of implant restoration. However, insufficient bone volume in the implant area is common in clinical practice, making it difficult to obtain ideal implant orientation. Therefore, in order to ensure the success and stability of implant restoration, restoration and reconstruction of the alveolar ridge has great clinical significance. With the development of bone augmentation techniques, tenting screw technique based on basic principles of guided bone regeneration has achieved remarkable results in clinical practice, which allows the restoration and reconstruction of alveolar ridge defects with minimal or no use of autogenous bone. This article reviews the development of tenting screw technique and summarizes principles and conditions of application, clinical efficacy, associated complications, operational essentials and points for attention.

Key words: tenting screw technique, alveolar ridge bone augmentation, dental implant
