Note: All data are expressed as means ± standard deviations. CAD, computer-aided design; 3DP, three-dimensional printing; Q, question. Block P-value indicated the block effect; Methods P-value indicated the main effect. * Compared to Impression compound trimming group, P < 0.05. # Compared to Light curing group, P < 0.05.
