Abstract

Abstract According to the present invention, there can be provided granular inorganic moldings characterized in that the ratio A/D of the maximum diameter D and the maximum length A perpendicular to the maximum diameter of the granular molding is 0.5 to 0.9 and in that at least 80% of the granular moldings have a shape such that the crossing point of A and D is within 0.3 D from both sides of the center of D. Such moldings can be obtained in a high yield by filling an inorganic powder capable of calcination into an organic porous body having a 3-dimensional net-like structure and subjecting it to press forming thereby to form granules of the inorganic powder in the pores of the porous body and then burning off the organic porous body and at the same time, calcining the granular moldings. The granular inorganic moldings are useful e.g. as bone fillers.
