Abstract : The objective of this study was to evaluate gold foil as a guided bone regeneration barrier on healing of calvarial bone defects in adult rabbits. 12 adult rabbits were used in this study the calvarial bone was exposed through a skin flap where two bicortical circular defects (10 mm in diameter) were made with preservation of the dura, the right defect was covered with gold foil while the left defect was covered with collagen membrane. Animals were followed up for three, five and nine weeks and autopsies were taken and sent for histologic evaluation. After nine weeks, bone formed under gold foil showed thin trabeculation while that under collagen showed thick ones. These encouraging results of bone formation, easy handling, simple removal and reasonable price will expand the use of gold foil as a guided bone regeneration barrier. Further investigations of longer duration are recommended to study the amount and character of bone after maturation.
