  1. aThe study cohort included 144 SD cases and control patients with at least one completed direct dental restoration treatment code; SD is Standard deviation; Asterisks (*) indicate statistical significance at the 5% level. bThe preventive visit rate per year was calculated by dividing the total number of preventive visits by the absolute value of the time, between the patient’s first dental visit and last dental visit (of any type). Absolute times values less than one year were rounded to the nearest year. c The preventive visit rate per year was calculated by dividing the total number of preventive visits by the absolute value of the time, between the index date and the patient’s first dental visit (of any type). Absolute times values less than one year were rounded to the nearest year
