  1. *Adjusted logit model for all variables that resulted with a p-value < 0.05 in the crude model; OR = Odds ratio, 95% CI = 95% confidence interval. For adjusted model of the knowledge of dental students about dental management of an epileptic patient, p < 0.001 (significant for the omnibus test of the model coefficient)
