P-values between the FD values obtained from DPR and reformatted panoramic images of CBCT

Variable	P-value
DPR distal FD after implant surgery to CBCT distal FD after implant surgery	0.178
DPR apical FD after implant surgery to CBCT apical FD after implant surgery	0.460
DPR mesial FD after implant surgery to CBCT mesial FD after implant surgery	0.271
DPR distal FD at the 12-month postop to CBCT distal FD at the 12-month postop	0.140
DPR apical FD at the 12-month postop to CBCT apical FD at the 12-month postop	0.196
DPR mesial FD at the 12-month postop to CBCT mesial FD at the 12-month postop	0.195

(FD: fractal dimension, DPR: digital panoramic radiography, CBCT: cone-beam computed tomography, postop: postoperative)
