Abstract

Introduction: This case presentation aims to examine the outcome of simultaneous maxillary sinus lifting, bone grafting, and implant placement through two case presentations.

Case Presentation: Two patients were treated by augmentation of their maxillae with bovine bone grafts. Implants were placed immediately with the sinus lifting. Bone healing, maintenance of bone height, and implant stability were measured by clinical examination and radiographic control after 1 year.

Discussion: There was no significant gingival infection that resulted in bone loss of 1.5 mm. Implants remained stable. None of the implants were associated with crestal bone loss of more than 0.5 mm for the duration of one year.

Conclusion: Immediate placement of osseointegrated implants in maxillae augmented by bovine bone grafts is predictable and successful in the short term.
