Abstract: A prosthetic filler for a living body having excellent storage properties and handlability is disclosed. The prosthetic filler includes calcium phosphate granules and porous small chips made of an organic material for binding these calcium phosphate granules to each other. The prosthetic filler is made by mixing the calcium phosphate granules and the small chips of the organic material. When the prosthetic filler is used for a living body, it is added with water, and then they are kneaded to become a paste state. Thus obtained paste state prosthetic filler is injected into a bone defect site or the like to restore it.
