Table 3: Summary statistics for concentration of bacteria (kCFU/mL). Contrastingly, the concentration of anaerobic bacteria in all patients' samples reduced within 24 h after aspirin cone placement. The variations in the concentrations of anaerobic bacteria did not significantly differ between the two treatments on follow-up at 24 h or 48 h. All four variables presented in Figure 8 are asymmetrically distributed around zero.
