Table 1:
The viscosity of unpolymerized Thiol-Michael and BisGMA/TEGMA composite pastes with variable microfiller loading including 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60%, as measured at a shear rate of 200s−1. The letters indicate statistically significant differences (p<0.05) via a one-way ANOVA and a Tukey’s post-hoc test (capital letters for row and lowercase for column).
