Table 2.

Mean values (standard deviation) of the initial surface microhardness (SM_i), after pH-cycling microhardness (SM_pH), final surface microhardness (SM_f), percentage of surface remineralization (%SM), and variation of microhardness (ΔSM), n = 12.

Means followed by different lowercase letters, in line, differ statistically by Tukey's test; means followed by different uppercase letters, in column, differ statistically by Tukey's test. The %SH and DSM were compared only between the experimental groups.
