A shaped pressure-densified apatite-organic material complex comprising an apatite powder having a crystal particle size of at most 0.5 .mu.m, an organic material and from 5 to 40 wt. % of water.
A process for producing an apatite-organic material complex, which comprises incorporating from 5 to 40 wt. % of water to a powder composition comprising an apatite powder having a crystal particle size of at most 0.5 .mu.m and an organic material, and exerting a pressure of at least 40 MPa to the resulting mixture while maintaining the temperature within a range of from 0.degree. to 200.degree. C., to form a shaped product.
