Table 4.

Length, embedding and insertion angles of the Sharpey’s fibers of the oblique group in different molars.

Molars		Length (μm)		Embedding angle (°)		Insertion angle (°)
		Bone side	Cementum side	Bone side	Cementum side	Bone side	Cementum side
Mandible	1	132.8 (68.4, 193.9)	44.0 (25.1, 91.6) #*	57.6 (51.5, 63.8)	48.1 (41.6, 59.8) *	51.1 (43.7, 59.6)	50.6 (44.9, 54.8)
	2	112.3 (67.5, 179.7) *	35.4 (19.0, 53.8) #*	57.5 (52.0, 45.5)	59.3 (51.8, 72.3)	53.2 (46.8, 63.9)	49.6 (41.9, 55.4)
	3	104.9 (55.2, 171.7) *	44.5 (30.5, 59.3) #*	53.0 (73.9, 63.6)	55.9 (42.4, 65.7)	51.2 (44.9, 57.7)	51.3 (42.7, 60.1)
Maxilla	1	124.4 (93.7, 169.2)	34.1 (23.7, 60.8) #*	58.1 (49.3, 64.2)	71.9 (63.9, 79.5) #*	55.7 (46.4, 63.9) *	48.7 (40.7, 56.0)

Results are expressed as median (interquartile range).

Length: * significantly different than bone side of first molar, # significantly different than bone side of second molar.

Embedding angle: * significantly different than cementum side of second molar.

Insertion angle: * significantly different than bone side of first molar.

Mandibular molars are compared to each other, p<0.005 according to Bonferroni Correction.

Maxillary first molars are compared to mandibular first molars only. p<0.012 according to Bonferroni Correction.
