The William's blister test for adhesion was used to determine the strength of epithelial and fibroblast cell attachments to cementum, dentin and enamel. Differences of air pressure required (cm H 2 O) to debond the samples from a cell monolayer were measured and recorded on a strip chart recorder (Fletcher et al. 1977). Gingival and skin‐muscle cells detached at similar pressures from cementum, dentin and enamel. Higher pressures (of debond) were required with cells grown on a polystyrene surface.
