Median and Mean Values of the Biofilm Surface Area in the Ventral Bulla in Control and Experimental Groups. Values were calculated from at least 20 mucosal specimens obtained from the ventral bulla of each animal in μm2.
| Group (n) | Mean (SD) μm2 | 95% CI μm2 |
|---|---|---|
| Control (8) | 3736.55 (756.7) | 3104–4369.2 |
| Manual saline (7) | 2094.91 (1688.96) | 533–3656.9 |
| Manual shampoo (7) | 2068.77 (2573.73) | −312–4449.1 |
| Hydrodebrider saline (8) | 395.60 (303.48) | 142–649.3 |
CI = confidence interval; SD = standard deviation.
