It is well known that new tissue or blood vessel is grown into a porous calcium phosphate ceramics used as a bone graft substitute due to their excellent biocompatibility. In this study, the most chemically stable porous $eta$-crystalline form in various forms of calcium metaphosphate, Ca(PO$_3$)$_2$is prepared by the controlled thermolysis of monocalcium phosphate, Ca(H$_2$PO$_4$)$_2$.The diameter of cylindrical pores formed during cooling was controlled by a holding time at the melting point of a monocalcium phosphate and by the change of a crystallization temperature, to obtain the most appropriate size (about 200$mu$m) of pores for the application of bone substitutes and matricuts. It was observed that the increasing holding time at the melting point of monocalcium phosphate results in the decreases of cylindrical pore sizes.
