The statistical theory of strength was used to obtain tensile strength distribution curves of dental restorative specimens of differing volumes. The most probable tensile strength of Adaptic*† dental restorative material increased with a decrease in specimen volume within practical limits. The tensile strength distribution curves were unsymmetrical.
