Research Abstract	Little has been developed in the field of biomaterials for soft tissue reconstruction, and most of the materials available are used in the regeneration of hard tissues. In this study, bioresorbable porous poly-dl-lactide (PdlLA) blocks were implanted on rat calvaria, and were assessed by histologic examination. NIH 3T3 mouse embryo fibroblast cells were cultured on the PdlLA blocks to evaluate initial cell adhesion, cell proliferation. It might be suggested that bioresorbable porous PdlLA block is extremely effective materials used for soft tissue regeneration.
