  1. Phosphoric acid and PDT in turn left an average of 3.74 and 4.24 living germs after the therapy
  2. After using the one-way ANOVA and subsequent post-hoc tests (Tukey tests), a significant difference can be found in the plasma group compared to the other two therapy options (p < 0.001), whereas the phosphoric acid group and the PDT group do not differ significantly to each other (p = 0.699)
