The specimens were randomly divided into two groups. One group was bonded with Variolink NLC (Ivoclar), whereas the other was bonded with RelyX cement (3M ESPE). Fracture strength was evaluated using a universal testing machine (UTM), with the maximum load required to induce fracture recorded. The tests were conducted under a controlled crosshead speed of 1 mm\/min using the UTM, and the maximum load required to cause fracture was recorded for each specimen.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis Used:<\/jats:title>\n \n The Shapiro\u2013Wilk and Kolmogorov\u2013Smirnov tests were employed to assess the data\u2019s normality.
