Table 2. Means and standard deviations in the baseline values of L*, a*, and b* from different groups, as well as statistical analysis.

Experimental groups Baseline values
L* a* b*
Control 82.7 ± 2.7A −1.1 ± 1.2a 27.1 ± 5.6A
Buccal only 83.8 ± 4.2A −2.0 ± 1.3a 25.5 ± 4.8A
Lingual only 87.2 ± 3.6A −3.0 ± 0.8a 25.3 ± 4.3A
Buccal + lingual 86.7 ± 3.6A −2.3 ± 0.9a 26.7 ± 1.5A

Different capital and lower-case letter, superscript or not in each column indicate statistically similar means (1-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test for each column, α = 0.05).
