This study aimed to histologically and histomorphometrically evaluate osseointegration following simultaneous implant placement and maxillary sinus augmentation. Three retrospective human cases are described in which implants were placed at the maxillary sinus site augmented with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and later retrieved due to implant fracture after 5 to 8 years of occlusal loading. The removed implants with bone were processed for histologic evaluation, and bone-to-implant contact (BIC), bone area (BA), and mirror-image bone area (MIBA) were measured. Mature lamella bone was mainly observed, and some unabsorbed grafted bone particles remained in all cases. The measured values of BIC, BA, and MIBA in the three consecutive threads with the highest values were 86.0% to 91.2%, 65.8% to 91.9%, and 73.0% to 90.4%, respectively, and there were no signs of inflammation. Within the limits of this study, these cases demonstrate successful bone formation after maxillary sinus bone augmentation with DBBM and simultaneous implant placement.
