Influence of exposure to ethanol on the apparent stiffness of the demineralized dentin collagen matrix. The samples were initially evaluated in water. Then they were placed in a bath of 100% ethanol for 30 seconds and evaluated in ethanol. Thereafter, the samples were removed from ethanol, rehydrated in water for 15 minutes and evaluated again in water. a) comparison of the elastic modulus at 0.25% strain; b) comparison of the elastic modulus at 1% strain. The boxes for each condition represent the average and standard deviation. The error bars encompass the total range in responses and boxes with different letters indicate significant differences (p≤0.05).
