Table 3 Contingency tables show the net frequencies (and %) of 44 nonmetric traits/anomalies and crowding in different skeletal Angle classes, as well as associations between the presence of dental traits and dental occlusion classes

From: Associations between 44 nonmetric permanent dental traits or anomalies with skeletal sagittal malocclusions and sex, besides correlations across the variations or abnormalities

  1. The alphanumeric notation is used for numbering the teeth. Where the jaw is not specified (by U or L letters), data from both jaws are combined. U, Upper; L, lower; the numbers 4–7 denote tooth numbers from the first premolar to the second molar. The P value is calculated using the chi-square test by comparing prevalence rates of the traits/anomalies in different classes. Significant P values in bold
