  1. a Univariate analysis includes 102 cases with 529 restorations, b includes 94 SD cases with 463 restorations. cThe 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
