Table 2. Average Particle Size, As Determined by Laser Diffraction, Expressed as Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) and Volume Median Diameter (VMD) of CS, CSMCC, and PMMA Powders^a.

material	SMD (μm)	VMD (μm)
PMMA	34.6 ± 19.6	290.5 ± 171.6
CS	120.3 ± 21.8b	533.0 ± 32.1b
CSMCC	138.7 ± 53.9b	630.3 ± 39.9bc

^aThe values are reported as mean ± SD (n = 3). Dunnett’s multicomparison test was used to compare SMD and VMD of CS and CSMCC with the ones of PMMA:

^bp < 0.05. t-test was used to compare CS and CSMCC:

^cp < 0.05.
