The smallest screw (the NOVAMag® fixation screw XS) is specifically designed for securing membranes, such as the NOVAMag® membrane, the collagen membranes Jason® membrane or collprotect® membrane, as well as non-resorbable PTFE membranes, such as permamem®.

NOVAMag® fixation screws S-XL can be used for bone block fixation. Because the fixation screws are resorbable, remnants of the screws pose no risk during dental implant placement and can be left to completely resorb over a period of approximately one year after their implantation.

• Origin: Synthetic
• Composition: Magnesium Alloy
• Diameter: 1.0 mm (XS) or 1.4 mm (S, M, L, XL)
• Length: 3.5 mm (XS), 7 mm (S), 9 mm (M), 11 mm (L), 13 mm (XL)
• Application: Follow the appropriate drilling protocol as directed in the NOVAMag® fixation screw IFU
• Degradation time: Resorbable (within approximately 1 year)

The NOVAMag® fixation screw is indicated for the fixation of barrier membranes and/or bone grafts in the support of guided tissue and bone regeneration (GTR and GBR):

• in case of surgical bone defects and bone wall defects
• in the context of sinus floor augmentation
• in the context of ridge augmentation
• in the context of ridge reconstruction for prosthetic treatment
• in the context of a treatment of fenestration defects
• in the context of maxillofacial surgeries (the fixation system is not to be used in conjunction with a plate system)
• in case of periodontal bone defects (one to three-wall defects, furcation defects)
after apicectomy, cystectomy, resection of retained teeth and resection of other bone lesions
• in case of augmentation in conjunction with immediate or delayed implant placement.

Block Augmentation using NOVAMag® fixation screw S-XL
Consideration of soft tissue management
Appropriate screw size selected for augmentation
Bone block predrilled using the NOVAMag® drill 1.35
Pilot hole drilled using NOVAMag® drill 1.0
The insertion hole widened using the NOVAMag® drill 1.2 or 1.35 for medium to hard bone types
NOVAMag® fixation screw inserted using the NOVAMag® connector
Screw drive removed using the NOVAMag® safety cutter

Membrane Fixation using NOVAMag® fixation screw XS-S
Consideration of soft tissue management
Pilot hole drilled using precision drill
NOVAMag® fixation screw XS inserted via the NOVAMag® connector
The drive is removed either via sheering off or via the NOVAMag® safety cutter
