Dentin loss (μm) for different toothbrush types within the AE, A, and E groups.
Horizontal bars are indicating statistically significant differences within groups (EA, A) for hard, medium, and soft bristles, * p < 0.02, Mann-Whitney U-test) as well as between groups (n.s., not significant; *p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, Mann-Whitney U-test).
