| AC – autoclave cycles; Gp S – standard autoclaved groups; Gp F – immediate/flash autoclaved groups; 1,5,10,15,20 – number of autoclave cycles. Ra (average roughness) – measurement of the deviation of a surface from a mean height; Rq – root mean square roughness (applicable to thickness required to create smoothness; Test employed – Tukey’s HSD test allows you to determine between which of the various pairs of means differ significantly. Statistical significance – All differences at various time intervals in each group were considered to be statistically significant if the probable P value was ≤0.05. | |||||||||||
