Table 5.

Estimated mean differences between treatments for differences from baseline for lesion area. Estimates of treatment contrasts were based on a hierarchical random effects model with random effects for tooth and specimen nested within tooth and fixed effects for treatment, time, and treatment*time interaction. Point estimates for treatment comparisons are given for each time point, along with 95% confidence intervals for the differences, unadjusted p-values, and p-values adjusting for multiple comparisons.
