  1. (FC: Feldspathic ceramic, LDC: Lithium disilicate glass ceramics, RNC: resin nano-ceramic, M: mechanical polishing, G: glaze, MG: mechanical polishing + glaze)The data were presented as the mean ± SD and median(IQR). The statistically significant p-value is in bold (p<0,05). † for the ANOVA test and ¥ for the Kruskal-Wallis test.Different lowercase letters indicate the difference between solutions of the same material (between rows).Different capital letters indicate the difference between materials in the same solution (between columns).
