Abstract

This study compares non-absorbable, ethyl cellulose (EC) membranes and absorbable, chitosan (CH) membranes in a rabbit model. Bone regeneration, evaluated by radiological and pathological parameters, was seen in both groups. In the EC group the process was faster but was followed by a sharp decrease, whereas in the CH group it was slower and continuous.
