Table 2.
Mean and standard deviation (SD) of surface roughness (SR) in 5 and 10% hydrofluoric acid (HF) with different etching times
| Time (s) | 5% HF | 10% HF |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 58.40±27.07 aA | 112.92±56.78 aB |
| 60 | 64.24±25.15 aA | 137.81±80.78 aB |
| 120 | 63.48±14.07 aA | 150.45±70.90 aB |
| Control | 16.47±6.70 b | |
Different lowercase letters indicate a significant difference (P<0.05) among etching times with the same acid concentration. Different capital letters show a significant difference (P<0.05) among acid concentrations at the same time point
