TABLE 2.

Comparison of length of anterior loop by panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomography

Gender	Side	Group	N	Mean (mm)	SD	Z	P
Male	Right	CBCT	52	1.20	0.10	50.781	<.001*
	Right	Panoramic	52	0.10	0.12	50.781	<.001*
	Left	CBCT	54	1.23	0.12	49.36	<.001*
	Left	Panoramic	54	0.09	0.12	49.36	<.001*
Female	Right	CBCT	55	1.18	0.09	50.19	<.001*
	Right	Panoramic	55	0.11	0.13	50.19	<.001*
	Left	CBCT	61	1.22	0.11	51.37	<.001*
	Left	Panoramic	61	0.10	0.13	51.37	<.001*

Since the P value is less than .001, there is statistically significant difference both the imaging modalities while comparing the length of the loop with respect to sides and gender.
