Table 3.
Comparison of mean difference ofsalivary flow rates at first and second follow-ups between xerostomic and healthy individuals from base value of mean salivary flow rate after TENS on the 4th appointment to unstimulated mean salivary flow rate at each follow-up (1st and 2nd)
| Row Labels | Mean salivary flow rate of 4th Appointment (mL/min) | Mean difference from 4th appointment after TENS salivary flow rate and unstimulated mean salivary flow rate at 1st follow-up (mL/min) | Mean difference from 4th appointment after TENS mean salivary flow rate and unstimulated mean salivary flow rate at 2nd follow-up (mL/min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xerostomia (Experimental) | 1.228±0.32 | 0.07±0.15 | 0.13±0.16 |
| Healthy (Control) | 2.008±0.30 | 0.11±0.12 | 0.18±0.13 |
| P | <0.001 | >0.05 (NS) | >0.05 (NS) |
NS=Not Significant. By using Unpaired Student’s ‘t’ test
