Table 3. The comparison of all the parameters between two groups using unpaired t-test.

*Not significant; P < 0.05: considered statistically significant.

SD: standard deviation; PI: plaque index; GI: gingival index; BLW: buccolingual width; BBP Ht.: buccal bone plate height; LBP Ht.: lingual bone plate height; P: probability value; t: unpaired t-test value.
