PESA and PISA values in the control group were higher than in the hospital group but only with marginal significance (p=0.069 and p=0.065, respectively).
PESA and PISA values in the control group were higher than in the hospital group but only with marginal significance (p=0.069 and p=0.065, respectively).
However, due to the exploratory nature of the study, p-values between 0.05 and 0.10 were considered marginally significant.
While PISA was not significantly correlated with the number of lost teeth (p = 0.197), PESA showed a highly significant correlation with the number of lost teeth with a high correlation coefficient R = 0.828.
