Bond Strength of Reinforced Autopolymerized Acrylic Resin to Denture Base Resin

Table 2

Mean values and standard deviations of the shear bond strength test (MPa) between reinforced autopolymerized acrylic resin and rapid heat-cured acrylic resin of tested groups.

Shear bond strength test (MPa)
Group		N	Mean	Std. deviation
1	Control	8	9.37^a	0.66
2	2% SEG	8	10.80^b	0.63
3	1% SEG	8	12.86^c	0.51
4	0.5% SEG/UWPE	8	10.57^b	0.29
5	1% SEG/UWPE	8	11.12^b	0.42
6	1% UWPE	8	10.74^b	0.94
7	2% UWPE	8	10.80^b	0.63

Groups with the same lowercase superscripted letter indicated no significant differences between groups at values <0.05. SEG = short E-glass fiber. UWPE = ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene filler.
