Statistical analysis with the Tukey-Kramer multiple-comparisons test of the relative efficacy of 5 different therapeutic agents with anti-fungal properties in reducing C. dubliniensis adhesion to acrylic denture surfaces
Drug | NYS | AMP-B | KETO | FLU | CHX |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
NYS | — | n.s. | <0.001 | <0.001 | <0.001 |
AMP-B | n.s. | – | <0.001 | <0.001 | <0.001 |
KETO | <0.001 | <0.001 | – | <0.001 | n.s. |
FLU | <0.001 | <0.001 | <0.001 | – | <0.001 |
CHX | <0.001 | <0.001 | n.s. | <0.001 | – |
The differences in the adhesion-suppressive effect of the drugs were not significant (n.s.) AMP-B = Amphotericin B; CHX = chlorhexidine; FLU = fluconazole; KETO = ketoconazole; NYS = nystatin.
