Table 2. Flexural strength (FLS) and flexural modulus (FLM) mean values (standard deviation) for resin composites considering both heating conditions.
FLS (MPa) | FLM (GPa) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
No preheating | Preheating | No preheating | Preheating | |
Universal Restorative | 141.3 (12.7) a, B | 157.9 (2.90) a, A | 11.4 (1.2) a, B | 13.7 (0.8) a, A |
Filtek Supreme Ultra | 137.1 (2.43) a, B | 152.6 (1.97) a, A | 12.2 (1.1) a, B | 14.1 (0.7) a, A |
* Tukey’s post-hoc test: different capital letters in the same row a indicate statistically significant difference. Different lowercase letters in the same column indicate statistically significant differences. Standard deviation in parentheses.
