BMC Oral Health

Table 1 Results of the analysis of descriptive statistics across subjects

IQR interquartile range, n.s. statistically not significant, SD standard deviation
^aIn the community sample, one subject did not receive any dental procedure listed in the study, therefore n = 200 for this variable
^bIn the community sample and the clinical sample, 13 and five subjects had received all the dental procedures listed in the study, respectively. Therefore, the variables have n = 188 and n = 196, respectively, for the community sample and the clinical sample
^cDue to the non-normality of the distribution of all the variables, comparison between two subgroups was performed using Mann–Whitney U test
