Table 1 Average elastic module and hardness values of resin, the grade I and the grade IV trabecular bone. Values (mean ± SD) with different superscript letters (a vs b vs c) and different superscript symbols (* vs △ vs □) in the same row were significant difference (one-way ANOVA analysis and SNK-q test, P < 0.05). E: Elastic modulus; H: Hardness
