Figure 3. Pooled in-house µTBS data. (a) Statistical analysis of pooled enamel µTBS data per adhesive class, as gathered at the Leuven BIOMAT research cluster during the period 20012004, always using the same experimental protocol (Fig. 2). The central circle/rectangle represents the mean value, and vertical bars denote 95% confidence intervals. Adhesive classes in which the µTBS was not significantly different are connected by a horizontal line. (b) Statistical analysis of pooled dentin µTBS data per adhesive class, as gathered at the Leuven BIOMAT research cluster during the period 20012004, always using the same experimental protocol (Fig. 2). The central circle/rectangle represents the mean value, and vertical bars denote 95% confidence intervals. Adhesive classes in which the µTBS was not significantly different are connected by a horizontal line.
