Table 2.

Effects of fluoride (F) and bonding agent (BA) on mean and standard deviation in parenthesis of lesion depth, mineral loss (ΔZ), and % remineralization. The increase in specimen thickness after soaking is also shown.

		Lesion Depth (µm)		ΔZ (µm)		% Remineralization	Thickness (%)

Cement A	8	203 (35)^#	134 (33)	69 (21)	44 (22)	38 (14)^A^*	1.9 (0.8)^a^*
Cement A2 (+BA)	8	164 (26)	123 (19)	56 (19)	42 (10)	23 (11)^A,B	1.4 (0.2)^a

48 h lesions	10	183 (29)		73 (22)

n = number of slices, two from each tooth.

No significant differences were found comparing lesion depth or ΔZ under the control material among the four groups and the untreated 48 h lesions; one-way ANOVA, α = 0.05.

Numbers in parenthesis give one standard deviation.

Different superscript letters indicate significant differences, one-way ANOVA, Holm-Sidak, p < 0.05.
