Table 3.

The association between PL status and two dependent variables

PL status Sample size (n) Cortical bone destruction status (n) P Mean buccal plate bone height (mm) P
Present 139 Yes 64 0.407 8.60 < 0.001*
No 75 8.76
Absent 143 Yes 73 10.06
No 70 10.33

PL: periapical lesion, *: statistically significant level. Chi-square and independent samples T-test were employed to reveal the association between the PL prevalence and cortical bone destruction, and between the PL prevalence and mean buccal plate bone height, respectively
