Table 3 Differences in gingival retraction measurements of studied groups (within groups [baseline to post-retraction] and between groups [post-retraction]).

	N (number)	Group	Mean±SD	Mean differences (CI 95%)	‘t’ value	Significance
Gp C	30	Baseline	162.27±11.32	309.11±21.16	681.885	0.00001
Gp C	30	Post retraction	471.38±28.13	309.11±21.16	681.885	0.00001
Gp P	30	Baseline	164.19±11.07	525.84±38.32	623.967	0.00001
Gp P	30	Post retraction	690.03±45.37	525.84±38.32	623.967	0.00001
Group C	30	Post retraction	471.38±28.13	N.A	375.770	0.0001
Group P	30	Post retraction	690.03±45.37	N.A	375.770	0.0001
GP – group; C – cotton; P – polymer; All measurements are in micrometers (μm). Differences in mean and their standard deviations: using formula z = [(x1 − x2) − (μ1 − μ2)]/sqrt (σ12/n1 + σ22/n2). [] Dependant t test; [] Independant t test. Levels of significance: NS (Not-Significant)=P≥0.05; Significant=P
