This study was aimed to evaluate the histocompatibility of hydroxyl poly calcium sodium phosphate (HPPA) preliminarily. HPPA and hydroxylapatite were implanted in the mandibular defect in dogs. The implant-bone interface was observed by using stereomicroscope and decalcified histologic sections. The result demonstrates that HPPA has well-osseous integrated property after being implanted into bone tissues. This suggests that HPPA might be a new material of future excellence in substitution for human hard tissues.
