Ca (OH)2: calcium hydroxide; SS: saline solution CHX: 2% chlorhexidine gel; Control group: pyrogen-free saline solution; S: Sample; SD: standard deviation. Different uppercase letters indicate inter-groups statistically significate differences (comparison in the same column), while different lowercase letters indicate intra-groups statistically significate differences (comparison in the same line).
