*2.5. Final Measurements*

All the plaster over the surface was cleaned for each specimen, and their measurements (post-processing) were performed at exactly the same positions for all the samples with the help of the Vernier caliper (SE 784EC Digital Caliper; SE Tools, Lapeer, MI, USA) with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. All the initial and final measurements were performed by a single trained investigator. Measurements were taken three times in each dimension and were then averaged to obtain the final reading.
