title: A clinical method for the study of in-vivo adhesiveness of teeth.
abstract: For the present study a clinical method was developed to allow the direct or photographic recording of contact angles on solid surfaces within the oral cavity. This method, which was tested on four subjects, allows for relatively accurate and precise recordings of contact angles to be taken under relevant clinical conditions and without disruption of the surfaces in their normal state.
