Full title and description

ISO 29022:2013 — Dentistry — Adhesion — Notched-edge shear bond strength test. This International Standard defines a notched-edge shear test method to determine the adhesive bond strength between direct dental restorative materials (principally dental adhesives) and tooth structure (dentine or enamel).

Abstract

Specifies a shear test for measuring adhesive bond strength between direct restorative dental materials and tooth structure. The method covers selection of substrate, storage and handling of tooth specimens, specimen preparation and the test procedure (notched-edge shear), plus requirements for test conditions and reporting. The procedure is principally intended for dental adhesives and related restorative materials.

Scope

Provides a standardized notched-edge shear bond strength test to determine the adhesive bond between direct restorative materials and tooth structure (enamel or dentine). The standard specifies requirements for specimen substrate selection, storage and handling of extracted teeth, specimen preparation, test fixtures and notch geometry, loading conditions and the procedure for carrying out the shear test, together with recommended reporting items. The method is aimed primarily at dental adhesives and comparable restorative materials.

Key topics and requirements

• Notched-edge shear test method for measuring shear bond strength between restorative materials and tooth structure (enamel/dentine).
• Guidance on substrate selection, storage and handling of tooth specimens to ensure reproducible results.
• Specimen preparation: dimensions, notch geometry and mounting/fixturing requirements for the notched-edge configuration.
• Test parameters: loading rate, alignment, environmental conditions and measurement of peak load to calculate bond strength.
• Reporting conventions and data presentation to support comparison between materials and laboratories.

Typical use and users

Used by dental materials researchers, university laboratories, manufacturers of dental adhesives and restorative materials, product development teams, quality control laboratories and regulatory/standards bodies to evaluate and compare shear bond performance of adhesive systems and direct restorative materials. The test is also referenced in broader guidance on adhesion testing in dentistry.

Related standards

Closely related to other dentistry adhesion test guidance such as ISO/TS 11405 (Testing of adhesion to tooth structure) and national/adopted standards (for example ANSI/ADA 111 which aligns with ISO/TS 11405). ISO/DIS 29022 (a draft revision of ISO 29022) has been registered as under development and is intended to replace the 2013 edition in a future revision cycle. Users commonly consult ISO/TS 11405 for broader substrate and method guidance alongside ISO 29022 for the specific notched-edge shear technique.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 29022:2013 is an International Standard that defines a notched-edge shear bond strength test method for evaluating the adhesive bond between direct dental restorative materials (mainly dental adhesives) and tooth structure (dentine/enamel).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers specimen and substrate selection, storage and handling of tooth specimens, specimen preparation (including notch and fixture details), test apparatus and conditions (loading rate, alignment), execution of the notched-edge shear test and recommended reporting of results to enable inter-laboratory comparison.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Dental materials scientists, university and industrial test laboratories, manufacturers of adhesives and direct restorative materials, standards developers and regulatory assessors use this test to characterize shear bond performance and for comparative testing during product development and quality control.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 29022:2013 is published and was confirmed as current following ISO periodic review processes; a revision (ISO/DIS 29022) has been registered and is under development to replace the 2013 edition when the revision process completes. Consult ISO or national standards bodies for the latest publication/revision status before formal use.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the suite of ISO documents and technical specifications covering dental adhesion testing (e.g., ISO/TS 11405 and related national/adopted standards). ISO 29022 provides the specific notched-edge shear procedure while other documents address broader adhesion testing guidance.

Q: What are the key keywords?
