Intergroup comparison of migration potential of hydrogen water-treated fibroblasts
| Groups | n | Mean | SD | Median | Mean rank | χ 2 | P* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Positive control (media+serum) | 10 | 72.70 | 12.81 | 70 | 35.50 | 36.848 | 0.000 |
| Hydrogen water-treated periodontally HF | 10 | 1.30 | 0.67 | 1 | 5.50 | ||
| Hydrogen water-treated fibroblasts from chronic periodontitis patients (CF) | 10 | 33.30 | 3.33 | 34 | 25.50 | ||
| Negative control (distilled water) | 10 | 4.10 | 0.73 | 4 | 15.50 |
*One-way ANOVA; Statistically highly significant difference (P<0.01). n – Number of samples; SD – Standard deviation; P – Level of significance; HF – Healthy fibroblasts; CF – Fibroblasts from patients with chronic periodontitis; χ2 – Chi square value
