Experimental bone regeneration with the aid of bioabsorbable membrane was carried out for the cases of canine mandibular, tibia, and skull. The membrane was made of the composite of the copolymer of L-lactic acid, glycol acid and caprolactone and the inorganic material β-TCP. The experimental bone defects were covered by the membranes and the open spaces for the bone regeneration were realized. After 12 weeks of the operation, complete bone regeneration was observed in the case of mandibular. Partial regeneration in the cases of tibia and skull, in which cases the full regeneration was observed with the additional implantation of the bioabsorbable materials.
