Micrographic Density Measurements of Enamel Sections after Exposure to Demineralization Conditions with Prior Coating with Specific Histatins and Control Solution (n = 5 per group)

	ΔZ (vol % x µm)^1,2	Lesion Depth (µm)²
Histatin 1	1520 ± 530^a	55 ± 11^a
Unphosphorylated histatin 1	3326 ± 646^b	130 ± 23^c
Histatin 3	3737 ± 931^b	86 ± 13^b
Phosphorylated histatin 3	1627 ± 555^a	69 ± 20^b
Histatin 5	4128 ± 718^b	94 ± 12^b
Control	7354 ±1258^c	150 ± 14^c

ΔZ = numerical value for mineral loss due to demineralization.

Different superscripts indicate statistical difference, and the same superscripts indicate no statistical difference, according to Tukey’s test among proteins and control.
