Table 1.

Changes in thermal degradation temperature in completely demineralized dentin matrix after pretreatment with deionized water, EGCG, nHAp@MSN, and EGCG@nHAp@MSN. Values are mean ± SD in °C, n = 10. Different superscript numbers in a row indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).

Dentin treatment	Onset temperature (°C)	Signal max temperature (°C)
Deionized water	99.99 ± 1.20^A	109.40 ± 2.48^a
0.1% EGCG	113.48 ± 2.03^C	120.23 ± 1.67^c
100 mg·mL⁻¹ nHAp@MSN	104.54 ± 2.55^B	112.84 ± 2.69^b
100 mg·mL⁻¹ EGCG@nHAp@MSN	118.00 ± 2.73^D	126.00 ± 1.88^d
