Values adjusted to quadratic fits (with pellicle—p < 0.05, r2 = 0.66; w/out pellicle—p < 0.05, r2 = 0.61) toward the erosive challenges. Average (SD) values of groups: (with pellicle) 0, –20.92 (7.15); 10, –34.68 (15.14); 20, –50.48 (16.44); 30, –70.94 (14.27); (w/out pellicle) 0, –19.90 (8.13); 10, –49.12 (15.66); 20, –60.51 (20.18); 30, –73.56 (19.06) (n = 12). Different letters at each erosive challenge mean statistical difference (p < 0.05).

Values adjusted to linear fits (with pellicle—p < 0.05, r2 = 0.77; w/out pellicle—p < 0.05, r2 = 0.67) toward the erosive challenges.

Average (SD) values of groups: (with pellicle) 0, 5.95 (1.58); 10, 11.02 (1.86); 20, 14.80 (2.85); 30, 18.02 (3.07); (w/out pellicle) 0, 6.18 (1.33); 10, 11.29 (2.15); 20, 15.20 (3.84); 30, 18.55 (3.77) (n = 12).
