Table 4: Comparison of adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores between thermocycling and non-thermocycling conditions in different curing technique groups. Meanwhile, group 4: g5_curing technique2 and group 8: g7_curing technique2 present a mix of ARI scores, indicating varying degrees of adhesive retention, with 25% and 75% of cases showing ARI scores of 1. The comparison of mixed outcomes among different groups yielded statistically significant results (Table 5). In the thermocycling groups, group 5 (g5_curing technique1) and group 6 (g5_curing technique2) both exhibited mixed outcomes at a rate of 75%, with \(p\)-values of 0.029. However, in the case of group 9 (g7_curing technique2) and group 10 (g7_curing technique2), there were no instances of mixed outcomes, resulting in \(p\)-values of 0.00. Similarly, among the non-thermocycling groups, group 3 (g5_curing technique1) had a mixed outcome frequency of 100%, with a \(p\)-value of 0.025, while group 4 (g5_curing technique2) exhibited a 75% occurrence. Groups 7 (g7_curing technique1) and 8 (g7_curing technique2) did not show any mixed outcomes.
