Table 3.

Bond strengths of four adhesives when treated with and without mucin under different conditions.

Adhesive		Without Mucin			With Mucin
	Control	S	SA	SW	S	SA	SW
SEB	52.9 (7.3)^A	51.8 (11.3)^A	19.7 (2.2)^G	11.1 (3.7)	57.1 (8.8)	19.9(6.0)^B,G	21.5(4.0)^B,f
S³	34.3 (7.8)	26.9 (5.7)	12.9 (1.4)	30.5 (4.5)	20.0 (5.0)	16.6 (3.9)^e	44.3 (9.8)
SBP	48.3 (8.8)	0.0	43.4 (6.4)^C	42.4 (6.4)^C	0.0	36.2 (10.6)^D	35.9 (7.1)^D
P&BNT	60.3 (13.3)	0.0	0.0	35.3 (5.3)	0.0	18.5 (5.6)^e	22.4 (7.0)^f

Means with standard deviations in parentheses (n=9) of bond strength (MPa). Fisher's PLSD intervals (p<0.05) for comparisons of means between mucin and no mucin, among adhesives, and among conditions were 1.6, 2.3 and 2.3 MPa, respectively. Means with the same superscripted letters are statistically the same (upper case describes the rows and lower case describes the columns).
