Craniofacial bone screws (non-bioabsorbable) are small, threaded fixation devices designed for short-term use in bone surgery of the skull, jaw, or facial area. They secure bone fragments or grafts—such as in fracture repair or intraoral bone augmentation—by anchoring into the maxilla or mandible, often with self-drilling or self-tapping features.
These devices are typically made from durable, non-resorbable materials like titanium or surgical steel and must be sterilized before clinical use. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but classification depends on factors like intended use duration, risk profile, and surgical context, rather than a fixed category-wide class.
