Table 3. Occlusal force (N) for Tooth Loss, Wearing Denture, and Young.
Tooth Loss [mean (SD)] | Wearing Denture [mean (SD)] | Young [mean (SD)] |
---|---|---|
304.8 (104.2) **a | 638.7 (127.0) | 1200.7 (642.3) |
Occlusal force for Tooth Loss was significantly decreased as compared with Wearing Denture (p<0.01, **paired t-test). A significant difference was found between Tooth Loss and Young [p< 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA on ranks and multiple comparisons versus control group (Young), Dunn's method, a: Tooth Loss vs. Young].
