PS indicates the pull-out strength (N, Newtons). The values are presented as the means ± standard deviations, minimums, and maximums. One-way ANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference in pull-out strength among the groups (p value < 0.001). In the mean values column, mean values with different superscript letters are statistically significant (Duncan’s post hoc test)
