The purpose of this study was to evaluate on the biodegradability, biocompatibility and tissue regenerative capacity of synthetic biodegradable $mernbranes-Resolut^{(R)}$, $Guidor^{(R)}$ and $Biomesh^{(R)}$. To evaluate the cell attachment on the membranes, in vitro, the number of gingival fibroblasts attached to each membrane was counted by hemocytometer. Cytotoxicity test for the membranes was performed by MTT test with gingival fibroblast For evaluation of guided- bone regenerative potential, the amount of new bone formation in the rat calvarial defects(5mm in diameter) beneath the membranes was observed for two weeks and examined of the specimens by Massons trichrome staining. Biodegradability was observed for 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after implantation of each materials under the skin of rats and examined the specimens with H & E staining. The number of cell attachment were the greatest in $Biomesh^{(R)}$ and followed by $Resolut^{(R)}$. Cell viability of three membranes was almost similar levels. Biodegradability of $Resolut^{(R)}$ was the highest among three membrane and the potential of guided bone regeneration was the greatest in the $Biomesh^{(R)}$ and $Resolut^{(R)}$ was followed. These results suggested that commercially available biodegradable membranes were non-toxic and highly potential to guided bone regeneration.
