Abstract
The effect of guided tissue regeneration procedures on the healing of osseo us defects was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats. A full thickness flap was re flected and two 5 mm defects were made in the calvaria of 17 rats. A resorb able membrane was placed over one defect in each animal, while the remainin g defect sewed as a control, After 3, 5, or 7 wk, healing of the osseous de fects was evaluated histologically. There was no statistical difference in bone regeneration between experimental and control sites at any time period .
