Note: statistical differences are indicated by different superscript upper case letters (within a column for the same zirconia block and ageing process) or by different subscript lower case letters (within a row for the same surface treatment and aging process). Letters αβ in superscript reflect significant differences within a row for assessing effects of thermocycling within the same zirconia block.
