SD standard deviation
Canal transportation equal to 0 means that no transportation occurred
*
Means statistically significant difference between techniques of analysis (paired t test, P < 0.05)
Italic values mean statistically significant difference within groups (one-way ANOVA, P < 0.05)
Different letters in the same line indicate a statistically significant difference between groups (unpaired t test, P < 0.05)
