The initial results of an experimental and clinical assay using hydroxyapatite granules as implants in skull defects over 3 cm are exposed. An attempt is made to verify by clinical, radiological and microscopic examinations (BAAF) the time of the cranial ossification steps. It was observed a growth of fibroblasts in 7 days, and of osteoblasts and intramembranous bone in 2 months and a half. 3 months later the plastic presented a palpable osteal consistency
