RESUMEN
This research was planned to evaluate the healing process and actual bone formation in resected m and ible, that was reconstructed using veterinary porous hydroxyapatite. Twelve rabbits were included in the study, three of them were considered as control group that the surgically created defect was not reconstructed. The surgical defects of the rest of the animals were reconstructed with the material under investigation. The animals were sacrificed after 2, 4 and 6 months, respectively, and studied histologically by light and SEM. The results showed that the healing process was carried out in the form of fibrovascular tissue that undergoes into an immature women bone, followed by young osteons and, finally, the mature lamellar bone was formed
