In the framework of the restricted three body problem, the resonant periodic orbits associated with the Kuiper belt dynamics are studied. Particularly, all the first, second and third order exterior mean motion resonances with Neptune located up to 50A.U. and the asymmetric resonances (beyond the 48 A.U.) are considered. We present the bifurcation points of families of periodic orbits of the planar circular problem from which families of periodic orbits are generated in the planar elliptic and in the 3D circular problem. Similarities and differences between the various resonant cases are noticed. The relation between the distribution of the bifurcation points and the population of small bodies at the particular resonances is discussed.
