Different lower case letters in the columns show statistical difference among the groups of materials for bacterial counts, according to ANOVA and Tukey tests (p<0.05). There was no statistical difference among the groups of materials, considering fluoride release and surface hardness, according to ANOVA and Tukey tests (p>0.05).
