Summary Standards for dental materials are available for both biological and chemical/physical properties. In order to predict the clinical performance of a material by means of standard tests, both the test and the method used in the test should ideally simulate clinical usage. However, owing to lack of knowledge with regard to intra‐oral failure modes, and technical considerations in the performance of tests, this ideal may not always be achieved.
