In the post-hoc analysis, each group was given a unique letter label (a–f). Next, when comparing subsequent groups, if the difference in means between the current and previous group was not statistically significant, the letter assigned to the previous group/s was prefixed to the new letter for the current group. However, if the difference was statistically significant, the prefix was disregarded. p-value ≤0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference. Enamel thickness, dentine thickness, and mesiodistal width (in mm); and enamel density (HU).
