  1. Data are the mean ± S.D., %; n = 10
  2. Same capital superscript letters indicate that ultimate tensile strength values were not significantly different among each group in the same water storage period (p > 0.05)
  3. Same small superscript letters indicate that ultimate tensile strength values were not significantly different among each adhesive in the same water storage period (p > 0.05)
  4. S, detection of the significant difference between 1 h and 7 days (p > 0.05); NS, not detection of the significant difference between 1 h and 7 days (p > 0.05); NA, not applicable because adhesive could not be hardened even after sufficient light exposure
