Biomechanical analysis results.

<p>Biomechanical analysis results regarding the average A) stiffness in N/mm and B) yield load in N. Both are shown against the different treatment groups (number of treatment(s) and applied energy flux intensity (mJ/mm²)). Values are shown as means ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Adjusted p-values were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05 (One-way analysis of variance (SPSS Statistics Version 23; IBM Corp., New York, NY, USA), Welch-Test adjusted, and Bonferroni post hoc test for stiffness; Two- way analysis of variance ((SPSS Statistics Version 23; IBM Corp., New York, NY, USA) and Bonferroni post hoc test for the other parameters). * p < 0.05 vs. 3 x 0.55 mJ/mm². N: Newton, mm: milli-meter, mJ: milli-Joule.
