A modified implantation technique was used to study the early tissue reactions to three periodontal dressings (Coe‐pak, Peripac, and Wondrpak). The dressings were placed in contact with an intact non‐epithelialized tissue surface for 15 minutes and 3 days. The tissue reactions were assessed by histochemical and histological techniques. After 15 minutes of tissue‐material contact, the most severe tissue reactions were caused by Wondrpak. When the contact period was increased to 3 days, Peripac generally showed a more severe tissue response than Wondrpak. At both contact periods Coe‐pak had caused the mildest reactions.
