*: Comparing bruxers and non-bruxers, a three-way repeated-measure ANOVA was used and main factors were: side (within-subject), gender (between-subject), and bruxism (between-subject). The statistical significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05
On the same side, the genders that don’t share a common capital letter are significantly different (P < 0.05)
In the same gender, the sides that don’t share a common small letter are significantly different (P < 0.05)
