This study sought to quantify bone ingrowth from a single bone-implant surface into porous block hydroxyapatite used in maxillofacial applications. Seventeen maxillary hydroxyapatite implants (implant time of 4-138 months, 39-month mean) were harvested for analysis from 14 patients. The implants had
