Table 3. Mean values (MPa) and SD for the polymerization shrinkage stress (PSS) considering both compliances (Classes I and II) and heating conditions.
Class I | Class II | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
No preheating | Preheating | No preheating | Preheating | |
Universal Restorative | 5.57 (1.02) | 4.18 (1.31) | 1.04 (0.18) | 0.85 (0.13) |
Filtek Supreme Ultra | 4.83 (1.15) | 4.22 (1.08) | 1.00 (0.16) | 1.08 (0.17) |
Tukey’s post-hoc test: no significant differences between materials and heating conditions. Standard deviation in parentheses.
