Comparison (by one-way ANOVA-F-test) among the different sites for different time points (at baseline, 6 months and 8 months) for osseodensification and traditional drilling technique
| Time points | Source of variation | P | F (Cal.) | df |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| At base line | Between groups (traditional drill method) | 0.079**, P>0.05 (NS) | 2.448 | 3 |
| Between groups (osseodensifying drill technique) | 0.172**, P>0.05 (NS) | 1.764 | 3 | |
| After 6 months | Between groups (traditional drilling technique) | 0.407**, P>0.05 (NS) | 0.992 | 3 |
| Between groups (osseodensifying drilling technique) | 0.017*, P<0.05 (S) | 3.872 | 3 | |
| After 8 months | Between groups (traditional drilling technique) | 0.017*, P<0.05 (S) | 3.869 | 3 |
| Between groups (osseodensifying drilling technique) | 0.183**, P>0.05 (NS) | 1.707 | 3 |
**No significant difference between groups, i.e., >0.05, *A significant difference between groups, i.e., <0.05. NS: Not significant, S: Significant, P: Probability, F-cal: F calculated statistics are based on the ratio of mean squares, df: Degree of freedom
