| Lp values measured after EDTA application were considered as the maximum permeability (Lpmax=100%). Other Lp values were expressed as the percentages (%) of Lpmax. The values are reported as means ± standart deviations. Post-hoc Tukey’s HSD test was used for pairwise comparisons between groups in each column. Same superscripts indicates no differences between groups in columns (p>0.05). Delta (∆) values represent the dentin permeability reduction values of the treatments (Lpmax% - Lp3%) approximately(≈). | ||||
