The approximate shear bond strength of subgingival calculus was measured on freshly extracted teeth. The experimental method was validated on polycarboxylate controls. The object was to specify a suitable upper limit for periodontal dressing adhesion, and a level of 4.0MN/m 2 is suggested by these results
