DC as a function of the post-pressing time.
| Cycle | Pressure | Post-pressing time | value | 0 h | 6 h | 12 h | Mean ± SD | Mean ± SD | Mean ± SD |
| Short | Without | 96.30 ± 1.61 (1.67) | 97.34 ± 1.19 (1.22) | 93.09 ± 4.36 (4.68) | p = 0.045 | With | 96.55 ± 0.49 (0.51) | 95.95 ± 0.98 (1.02) | 93.74 ± 1.04 (1.11) | p < 0.001 |
| Long | Without | 97.39 ± 0.96 (0.99) | 95.43 ± 1.07 (1.12) | 92.66 ± 1.83 (1.97) | p < 0.001 | With | 94.68 ± 1.01 (1.07) | 95.93 ± 2.20 (2.29) | 96.16 ± 0.58 (0.60) | p = 0.160 |
