Table 7 Mean and SD of fracture resistance test relative to restorative material, access cavity and aging. Significant values are in bold. The same upper case letters indicate no statistically significant differences in rows (p > 0.05). The same lower case letters indicate no statistically significant differences in columns within each group (p >0.05).
