  1. Statistical analysis of the density of infiltration was done by the Mann-Whitney U Wilcoxon Rank Sum W test. This test orders the measurements and gives each measurement a rank number. The differences between the groups are than tested, based on their mean rank number. Mean ranks of this percentage for each group as determined by this test, as well as the range of measurements are depicted in this table. p < 0.05.
