GAgP, generalized aggressive periodontitis; GChP, generalized chronic periodontitis; NS, not significant; PH, periodontal health.
The significance of differences among groups was assessed using the Kruskall-Wallis test. The significance of differences between pairs of comparisons was determined using Tukey’s multiple comparison test, and the significances are represented by different capital letters.
