[Table/Fig-2]:
Inter group comparison using pearson correlation coefficient, between specialists (Group I), general dentists (Group II), and lay persons (Group III); for individual smile analysis.
| Group | General Dentists (Group II) |
Lay Persons (Group III) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specialists (Group I) | Pearson Correlation (r) | 0.918** | 0.842** |
| p-value | 0.000 | 0.000 | |
| General dentists (Group II) | Pearson Correlation (r) | 0.933** | |
| p-value | 0.000 |
p-value = 0.000, highly significant (p ≤ 0.05: statistically significant)
If r is b/w 0 to -1: negative relationship
0 to 1: positive relationship**
0: no relationship
