A ceramic particle group dispersed in a solvent in a state of primary
particles of single crystal, a method for production thereof and a use
thereof are disclosed. In one embodiment a method is disclosed for
producing a sintered particle (ceramic particle) group of hydroxyapatite
(HAp), which includes a step of subjecting a system wherein calcium
carbonate is present between primary particles of hydroxyapatite (HAp) to
sintering and then dissolving calcium carbonate with water to remove
calcium carbonate. A hydroxyapatite (HAp) sintered particle group
produced by the above method is a nanometer size particle group having a
particle diameter of about 70 to about 120 nm, and is a particle group
having a uniform particle diameter (coefficient of variation: 12%), and
further 96% of the particle group is dispersed as a single crystal
particle.
