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

Adhesive	Control	Without mucin			With mucin

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)
