Materials bonded to tooth enamel can be tested with machines like the Electromechanical Testing Machine or Dynamic Test Instrument.
Adhesives, specimens to be bonded, and the method of bonding impact the bond strength of rigid-to-rigid bonds, which can be tested according to EN 1465:1994.
Bonds between metals, plastics, and composites can be tested in tensile testing machines for the adhesive strength when perpendicular force is applied.
ASTM D3163 is a standard to evaluate the shear strength of adhesively bonded rigid plastic lap shear joints without damaging the bonds.
