Results of in vitro bioadhesion strength in F and F100
| Formulations | Peak of the bioadhesive strength (mN) | Work of the bioadhesive strength (mN·s) |
|---|---|---|
| F | 2.10±0.350a | 2.00±0.001a |
| F100 | 11.00±1.200b | 11.5±0.500b |
Notes: Values represent mean ± SD.
a,b
Different letters in the columns show statistical difference between the groups, according to ANOVA and Tukey tests (p<0.05). F is the liquid crystal system; F100 is a 1:1 (wt/wt) dilution of F containing 100% artificial saliva.
Abbreviation: ANOVA, analysis of variance.
