Shear bond strength and Tensile adhesion are two critical parameters to establish performance of restorative bonding materials in dentistry. Our tensile adhesion fixture for dental materials contains the necessary features to avoid uneven stress distribution upon the specimen during loading. A specimen preparation accessory helps to ensure correct alignment of the material during the setup of a test.
