An object of the present invention is to provide a bone regeneration material suitable for bone (in particular, alveolar bone) regeneration. The present invention provides a non-woven fabric containing a bone prosthetic material wherein the bone prosthetic material is included between biocompatible fibers that constitute the non-woven fabric. The non-woven fabric may be suitably used as a bone regeneration material (in particular, a dental bone regeneration material).
