The adhesive properties of three periodontal dressing materials to hard and soft tissues were studied in vitro. The results indicated that adhesion occurred between the tissues and two of the materials. The third material did not adhere to any of the surfaces tested. Only small adhesive forces were recorded, but they may be of importance in establishing a tight seal between the dressings and the tissues.
