The values are presented as mean ± standard deviation, and the numbers in parentheses are the mean ranks in the group. Activity 30, activity 40, activity 50, activity 60, and activity 80 refer to 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, and 80% levels of ALP activity, respectively.

Different lowercase letters in the same column indicate the presence of statistically significant differences.

CEM, calcium-enriched mixture; MTA, mineral trioxide aggregate.
