Dentinal Tubule Occlusion Measurements Before and After Dentifrice Treatment

Raw measurements of dentinal tubule diameters obtained via scanning electron microscopy before and after treatment with desensitizing dentifrices. The dataset supports a manuscript submitted to the Journal of Dental Research and includes statistical analyses for result reproduction. Data are anonymized and derived from in vitro experimental procedures.

Use Cases

• Reproduce statistical comparisons of treatment groups based on the included ANOVA and Tukey's test results.
• Calculate dentinal tubule occlusion percentages based on the provided baseline and post-treatment diameter measurements.
• Compare the occluding efficacy of bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite dentifrices based on the treatment group variable.

Strengths

• Includes raw data and full statistical analyses (ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc, Shapiro–Wilk tests) for result reproduction.
• Data is anonymized and explicitly derived from controlled in vitro experimental procedures.
• Files are provided in both PDF and XLSX formats, offering flexibility for access.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Dataset is very small at 33.6 KB, indicating a limited experimental scope.
