Table 1.
Subjects’ distribution according to SR and BA groups.
| BA | SR-Negative | SR-Positive | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SR * | ||||
| BA-nAB | 19 (22.4%) ** | 21 (24.7%) | 40 (49.1%) | |
| BA-pAB | 11 (12.9%) | 34 (40.6%) ** | 45 (53.5%) | |
| Total | 30 (35.5%) | 55 (65.3%) | 85 (100%) | |
* Number (% in parenthesis); ** Groups presenting seemingly “consistent” reports of either an absence of AB (BA-nAB/SR negative) or a presence of AB (BA-pAB/SR positive). There were no differences among groups with regard to age or gender. Neither the main effects of the SR and/or the BA groups, nor interactions between groups, were found regarding to the IS score or the oral habit of holding objects between teeth/ biting objects.
