Figure 3. Survival probability distributions of the ground and indented porcelain surfaces coated with the resin cement (a) Compolute® Aplicap® [
m = 130.8 (14.1) and 113.9 (10.7), for groups E and F, respectively] and (b) Unicem® Aplicap® [m = 180.9 (19.9) and 155.7 (20.7), groups G and H, respectively], highlighting the significant strength increase compared with that of the wet ground and indented controls (m is the mean fracture strength, and the numbers in parentheses are standard deviations for n = 20 specimens per group).
