Median (min-max) values and statistical comparisons for decayed, missing, and filled teeth, DMFT index, and PI in the HD group.
| HD group | Uneducated and primary school median (min-max) | Secondary school median (min-max) | High school median (min-max) | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Missing | 7 (0–26) | 7 (0–16) | 5 (1–21) | NS |
| Decayed | 1 (0–9) | 1 (0–5) | 1 (0–6) | NS |
| Filled | 0 (0–7) | 0 (0–10) | 0 (0–4) | NS |
| DMFT index | 10 (0–30) | 10 (0–25) | 9 (1–22) | NS |
| PI | 1.93 (0–3) | 2.17 (0.43–3) | 0.59 (0–3) | NS |
HD group: Group of patients receiving hemodialysis treatment; DMFT index: Decayed, missing and, filled teeth index; PI: Plaque index; NS: Statistically not significant (P > .05).
