Groups	Demineralized surface (mean score)	Sound surface (mean score)	Remineralized surface (mean score)	t-test
A	0^a	5^b	3.27 ± 0.96^c	^a ^vs ^cF value = -13.163; p < 0.001
				^b ^vs ^cF value = -6.985; p < 0.001
B	0^a	5^b	2.73 ± 0.88^d	^a ^vs ^dF value=-11.979; p < 0.001
				^b ^vs ^dF value=-9.934; p < 0.001
C	0^a	5^b	2.87 ± 0.91^e	^a ^vs ^eF value=-12.128; p < 0.001
			^c ^vs ^d ^vs eANOVA=2.311 p = 0.267	^b ^vs ^eF value=-9.025; p < 0.001

a: demineralised surface score of 0; b: sound surface score of 5; c: remineralised surface mean score (Group A); d: remineralised surface mean score (Group B); e: remineralised surface mean score (Group C); Statistically significant at p < 0.001 [ANOVA test]
