| BRM – bite registration material; n – number of specimens; D – dimensional change; OD – original dimensions of the die. Interpretation of groups: CAD, computer aided diagnosis (scannable BRM); Cl, clear BRM (transparent material that shows voids and defects). D (%)=(X-Y)/X×100, where X is the original standard measurment of coordinates in the die and Y is the observed average measurements of coordinates on the samples in particular group. For the status of the results, the median values of each subgroup are compared against the original dimensions of the die and the dimensions obtained for control group. | |||||||||
