singleshear
Singleshear is a type of shear bond strength test used to evaluate the adhesion between a dental restoration and the tooth structure. It is a commonly used method in dental materials science and restorative dentistry to assess the bond strength of resin-based materials, glass ionomers, and other dental adhesives. The test involves applying a shear force to a bonded specimen until failure occurs, and the force at failure is recorded as the bond strength.
The singleshear test is typically performed using a universal testing machine equipped with a shear fixture.
The singleshear test has several advantages, including its simplicity, reproducibility, and the ability to simulate clinical
