Results of the mineral:matrix ratio and carbonate content values calculated from peak area of control, NSSF, NaF and SDF
| Control (No treatment) | NaF | NSSF | SDF | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | SD | Mean | SD | Mean | SD | Mean | SD | |
| Mineral:matrix ratio | 2.944 | 1.373 | 2.741 | 1.444 | 2.336a | 0.514 | 2.371 | 1.066 |
| Carbonate content | 0.022 | 0.020 | 0.008 | 0.003 | 0.006a | 0.002 | 0.010 | 0.008 |
NaF: 5% sodium fluoride; NSSF: nanosilver sodium fluoride; SDF: silver diamine fluoride. Same superscript letters indicate statistically significant differences at p < 0.05 using Spearman’s rank correlation.
