Table 1 Overview according to change of the volume (∆V in µm3) in the luting gap after simulated 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years of artificial aging as well as per each simulated aging year (baseline—1st, 1st—2nd, 2nd – 3rd, 3rd—4th, 4th – 5th) with pairwise instrument comparisons. Also included are the width of the luting gap (GW in µm) at baseline and after 5 years of artificial aging
