Age, DMFT/dmft and gender distributions of each group and statistical analysis between them
| Groups | Group A | Group B | p-value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| min-max | mean ± sd | min-max | mean ± sd | ||
| Age | 23–122 | 63.76 ± 22.25 | 26–141 | 70.36 ± 26.61 | 0.35 |
| DMFT/dmft | 8–16 | 11.68 ± 2.86 | 8–16 | 11.40 ± 2.61 | 0.72 |
| Gender | |||||
| Girl | 48% | 36% | 0.28 | ||
| Boy | 52% | 64% | |||
min: Minimum; max: Maximum; sd: standard deviation; %: percentage; Age was evaluated as months; Age and DMFT/dmft was shown with statistical terms of minimum-maximum and mean ± standard deviation values. Independent Samples Test was employed for the analysis of age and DMFT/dmft between groups while, gender was analyzed with Pearson Chi-square Test, with a significance level of p < 0.05
