We have developed a theory of exciton-polariton band structure of resonant three-dimensional photonic crystals for arbitrary dielectric contrast and effective mass of the exciton that is excited in one of the compositional materials. The calculation has been carried out for a periodic array of spheres embedded in a dielectric matrix. It has been shown that the position of the lower branches of the polariton dispersion curve monotonously depends on the exciton effective mass and is determined by the coupling of light with the first few states of the mechanical exciton quantum confined inside each sphere. Particularly, we have studied the role of excitonic effects on the photonic-crystal band gap along the [001] direction of the Brillouin zone and presented an analytic description of the polariton dispersion in terms of the two-wave approximation.
