Maximum temperature and temperature change by type of module

Maximum temperature

Depth	Module 1	Module 2	Module 3	p value	Post hoc Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons

0 mm	110.12±5.62	54.59±0.58	50.03±1.47	0.0001	Module 1≠2 1≠3
0.2 mm	71.29±2.51	40.59±1.21	39.40±0.86	0.0005	Module 1≠2 1≠3

Change of temperature (max-base)

0 mm	78.78±5.67	23.00±0.87	18.20±1.26	0.0001	Module 1≠2 1≠3
0.2 mm	40.15±2.28	9.59±1.12	8.58±0.64	0.0006	Module 1≠2 1≠3

All data are presented as mean±standard deviation. The temperature change is the maximum temperature - the base temperature. The unit of temperature is ℃.

Statistical comparisons between values from each module were performed using Kruskal-Wallis test. It was followed by Bonferroni tests.
