## Abstract A chitosan/poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA) multilayered membrane was prepared for the purpose of guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The membrane was composed of the outer layers of chitosan mesh and the middle layer of nanoporous PLLA membrane. The outer membranes of chitosan fibrous mesh pre

## Abstract Barrier membranes are employed clinically to deflect the growth of gingival tissues away from root surface. They provide an isolated space over the regions with the defective tissues that allow the relatively slow growing periodontal ligament fibroblasts to be repopulated onto the root
Water-based formulations are preferred for membrane coat application because they do not require the use of noxious solvents. A novel aqueous chitosan± alginate±CaCl 2 system was evaluated as a potential formulation to produce waterinsoluble membranes of biodegradable polymers. Chitosan±alginate coa
Alginate membrane was proposed as a selfsetting barrier membrane that can be used for guided tissue regeneration (GTR). The alginate membrane can be prepared and placed at the bone defect during the surgical procedure. The procedure consists of two simple steps. First, the bone defect is filled with
